## Adding a New SimRel Schedule

When adding a new simultaneous release schedule,
first add the `*json` file containing the dates for `M1`, `M2`, `M3`, `RC1`, `RC2` and `GA` as follows:
```
wiki/SimRel/<SimRel-Name>_dates.json
```
Here `<SimRel-Name>` is, for example, `2025-12`.

To generate the wiki details page for that release,
the following command can be run from the root of this repository,
which requires Java-25 or later:
```
java scripts/generateReleaseDetails.java <SimRel-Name>
```

### Why This format?

You may be wondering why this format for the wiki pages?
The information in this folder was previously hosted at `https://wiki.eclipse.org/`,
but in early 2024 that wiki [was made read-only](https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/wikis/Wiki-shutdown-plan).
The GitHub built-in wiki was determined to be insufficiently flexible for managing and authoring content.
- Non-committers can't easily contribute due to lack of support for pull requests.
- Folder nesting is not fully supported.
- Overall navigation is somewhat limited.

Therefore simply storing the files as markdown directly in this repository was deemed to be the best solution.
