| Error Log view added to Platform | The Error Log view has been moved from the PDE project to the Platform project. See bug 50517 for details. |
| Copy to clipboard in Installation Details |
A copy to clipboard action has been added to all tabs of the Installation Details dialog.

| Copy & paste of Environment Variables |
The Environment tab in a Launch configuration dialog supports copy &

the launch configuration and e.g. some text editor or the command line.
This feature is available in all launch configurations which use the common Environment tab. |
