Description John Arthorne

Fully support the 32-bit and 64-bit win32 version of SWT and the Eclipse SDK on Windows 7. We will ensure that applications built on the win32 version of SWT work as well as any other win32 API based application on Windows 7. This will increase our testing and support effort and potentially require new development to work around platform specific differences.

This plan item has been committed. The win32 builds of eclipse are now regularly tested on Windows 7.
