    - Pull Up/Push Down refactorings now resolve visibility issues
    - JavaSourceViewerConfiguration and PropertiesFileSourceViewerConfiguration now

      inlining, removing of delegators, organizing of imports and to resolve visibility issues
    - Convert anonymous refactoring now fully supports generics
    - Pull up/Push down refactorings organize their imports and leave javadoc formatting intact
    - Serial version quick fix calculation now launches a separate VM
    - there's now an Externalized String hover which shows the externalized
      value when hovering over an NLS key in the Java editor.
    - pushed Quick Fix/Assist command down to org.eclipse.ui.ide, see bug 74675 for details.
    - calls to reconcile a CU have been improved by only enabling the JDT UI's
      problem requestor when reconcile(...) is called by the Java reconciler, hence problems
      are now only reported to JDT UI's problem requestor when the Java reconciler calls
      reconcile(...). Note that clients requesting an AST when calling reconcile(...) will
      now get null or an empty AST due to bug 76738. Either use the ASTProvider to get the AST or enable
      (and disable later) the problem requestor.
    - fixed bugs in the AST provider
    - found and fixed memory peaks caused by requesting multiple AST's in parallel by Java reconcilers
    - bug fixing
