Hi team, The last two blocking issues for Alpha2: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16572 and https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16430 shows that yet again we need to remember that it is *not* sufficient to test your plugin in isolation from your perfect development environment. In this case it was a missing plugin entry in feature.xml and a bug in Luna M5 that would have been visible several weeks ago. Yes, it is human to error and failure is much better than no progress at all. But QE should not have to fight so easily avoidable and basic failures like this. Please take the time necessary to try out your plugins new feature in the actually distributed environment with all plugins installed and we would not have to hustle so close to the release. This time combines pretty well together with writing your New and noteworthy https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16551 which also is part of the code freeze week.
