Eclipse 3.0?

I don't know when this was announced but I just noticed that the Eclipse project may make the next version of Eclipse 3.0 instead of 2.2. The major verson number increase signifies API incompatibility with 2.1 plugins.

Eclipse is changing its API so it can move from an IDE to a "rich client platform" so that ordinary applications may take advantage of the services Eclipse provides.

The more agressive proposal comes a few months after the Eclipse Project DRAFT 2.2 Plan was released December 20, 2002.
