New and Noteworthy for 4.37 (PDE changes) #1946

elsazac · 2025-08-26T04:03:32Z

Fixes: #3243  

Refs : See eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator#3232 (comment)

The New and Noteworthy for Eclipse 4.37 in PDE still points to 4.30 and needs to be updated to 4.37. It hasn’t been revised since the migration of PDE from Platform Common 

This is the remaining work of eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator#3244

+    <a href="https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/news/4.37/pde.html" target="_blank">here</a>.


I wonder if we should embedd the content here with an iframe as well?

Also maybe it would be good to use maven filtered resources to automatically have this up to date always, e.g. the "copyright year" is also out of date.

This comment would need to be more broadly applied to the other cases. Let's focus on doing the minimum at this point.

This subitem would be good to remove too:

Done.

Thanks!

Now it is consistent with the style and behavior of the other similar entries:
