[Stefan Seelmann <ma...@stefan-seelmann.de>]

The Apache Directory Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Directory Studio 2.0.0-M9, the ninth milestone towards a 2.0 version.

Apache Directory Studio is a complete directory tooling platform
intended to be used with any LDAP server however it is particularly
designed for use with ApacheDS. It is an Eclipse RCP application,
composed of several Eclipse (OSGi) plugins, that can be easily upgraded
with additional ones. These plugins can even run within Eclipse itself.

You can download Apache Directory Studio 2.0.0-M9 as a standalone RCP
application for Mac OS X, Linux and Windows here:
http://directory.apache.org/studio/downloads.html

You can also install it directly in Eclipse using this update site:
http://directory.apache.org/studio/update/

Here are a few highlights of this new version:

* The RCP application is based on the latest version of Eclipse (4.4 aka
Luna).
* Changed the update site to 'p2' format.
* Added support for ApacheDS 2.0.0-M20 configuration and integrated it
in the LDAP Servers plugin.
