[Mike Wilson <Mike_Wilson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

--------
 Status 
--------

JDT Core:
- finalizing 3.2.1 input
- tuned 1.6 StackMapTable attributes, output should
resist
  to strict verifier mode: -XX:-FailOverToOldVerifier
-Xverify:all
  (will be included in 3.2.1) 
- enabled multiple output folders for batch compiler

  by suffixing source entries with "[-d
<dir>]" 
  e.g. ecj src[-d bin1] -d bin2 produces bin1/X.class
and bin2/Y.class
       ecj src[-d bin] -d none
only produces bin/X.class
- enable empty completion inside annotations
  e.g. @Annotation(<CODE-ASSIST>
