4.0.0 (Neon)
Project Stardust has a modular architecture strongly based on established Java technology standards and leveraging standard components wherever feasible (see the corresponding section of Graduation Review documentation for more information).
Stardust offers many hooks to extend and customize functionality by implementing Service Provider Interfaces (SPIs). See[1] , [2] and the examples given in [3].
Eclipse modeling functionality is heavily leveraging functionality provided by other eclipse projects, most notably EMF, GEF, WTP, JST, JDT. Public APIs were used where possible. All residual usage of internal interfaces is documented in Bugzilla and will be reviewed in later releases (see references in Bug 402286).
No Security issues.
All currently present project, infrastructure and user documentation has been improved. You can find us on YouTube with tutorials.

-
Browser portal and modeler functionality user interface is following similar principles but had to be adapted in some respects due to the technical requirements of html 5 components
Deprecated Functionality
The XML Data type integration is deprecated and will not be provided in the Eclipse modeler in future releases. You can use the External Reference structured
data type instead, which is equivalent to the XML Data type, with the difference that it supports XSD schema exclusively (no DTD specification). Please refer to
section Using External XSD Types of chapter Defining Structured Types for details.
