I'm currently trying to build the WindowBuilder milestone and I noticed a deadlock in one of our tests. It doesn't show up with 8081afe, but with 8d8e63e (i.e. the next commit).

It seems like we can't use concurrent deques in the EventListenerList...

[ptziegler]

I'll go ahead and build a new M3

[ptziegler]

The new M3 has been contributed. Let's hope that's the only unpleasant surprise:

3.22 RC1 was contributed to simrel:

• eclipse-simrel/simrel.build@35e02f2

[azoitl]

@ptziegler I don't think we have anything new for RC2 or?

[ptziegler]

Not as far as I can tell. You can probably already go ahead and promote the RC1 to the next release.
