4.4.0
Eclipse EPP 4.4 is building the download packages for the Luna Simultaneous Release. In this release we increased the openness of the project, e.g. by simplifying the build process, introducing Gerrit code review, we migrated the build to Tycho and CBI, we improved the user experience, e.g. by carefully adjusting default preferences and settings, and updated the logo and artwork.
The project leadership certifies that the APIs in this release are "Eclipse Quality".
No major known issues in the release.
The build system is now based on Tycho.
The packages are now being distributed based on Eclipse Platform version 4.4.
No known issues in the release.
User documentation for this release is available in form of web pages or wiki pages http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Category:EPP
This includes
- The EPP Committer and Maintainer Policy
- How-to specify an EPP configuration file
- How-to create the package definition files, package defining feature, branding plug-in

No usability issues.
Because of the migration of the build system from Buckminster to Tycho, the old Buckminster configuration files and scripts are discontinued and have been removed.
The EPP packages require Java 1.6, some require Java 1.7. All packages are based on Eclipse 4.4.
