    Hi Lars,

    Congratulations, I will enjoy your website.

    If you were involved in a startup that is building a product based on the RCP – at what point would you start developing for e4?

    Cheers

    @mwg This depends entirely on your risk taking williness. I’m porting some of my apps to e4 already.

    Unfortunately, bugs which I’ve opened for XWT, were not fixed in M5. :-(

    @Jigar: Some of the changes in e4 are merged back to 3.6, e.g. the flexible resources started in e4 and was merged back to 3.6.
