Thanks Markus.  Please post when the updated EPP packages are available.

Details: we still hope that the Mylyn features don't need to be changed, but we need to test the updated packaging once they are available.  The issue here is that with the JEE packaging, for some workspace/machine/vm configurations Mylyn will occasionally dump warnings to the Error Log on startup if none of its UI gets loaded.  We have had numerous reports of this with the JEE packagning but still don't have any indication of any bad behavior that would result.  However, as of the Europa Fall Update there has been considerable confusion with users associating the PermGen problem with the Mylyn warnings and we have seen many logs with both entries side by side, so want to do more thorough testing with the new packagings. 

Mik
