I am working on an update of the Eclipse project plan. See a draft here:

http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?planurl=http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/plans/eclipse_project_plan_4_2_DRAFT.xml

"Update 27" is the current/latest release for the Oracle Java 6 SE JRE. I think we should list that one.


Eclipse Java tooling ==> Eclipse Java development tooling 


Add support for Java SE 8 features.
==>
Start work on Java SE 8 features.
The next Java SE release is version 8, which is currently scheduled for October 2012. This release is expected to contain extensions to the Java language, including support for lambda expressions, default methods, annotations on types, a modularity system and minor language changes. 

Eclipse Java development tooling will make progress towards compiling, editing and launching applications for Java 8 for those parts which have publicly available specifications. Work in progress will be made available as feature patches for early adopters while we work towards the official Java SE 8 release. [JDT Core, JDT UI] (358387)


Support different target platforms per project.
Needs to be indented


We could also add "Using annotations for null checking" (bug 186342) to the plan which is quite a big item.

Thanks Dani I have made all of your suggested changes. Let me know if the wording for the null reference analysis plan item is ok.

Looks good. Applied a minor wording fix.

For reference, I did a poll of platform usage within the Eclipse TLP development team:
