Gemini/Meetings/Minutes Oct 11 2011
Gemini Meeting - Tues Oct 11, 2011
Attendees: Mike Keith, Tom Ware, Krum Tsvetkov, Shaun Smith, Violeta Georgieva, Lazar Kirchev, Juergen Kissner
- Subproject Updates
- JPA
- Released 1.0.0, good feedback so far
- Adoption of the project is growing, with a number of people willing to contribute
- Krum to look at fixing the tests
- run as part of the build, controlled by Tycho
- finer grained control of bundle loading order
- Will probably schedule a dot release sometime before the end of the year to include some of the new features people as asking for
- Add a capability provided by the JPA impl for clients to be able to require
- DBAccess
- Did a simultaneous 1.0.0 release with JPA on Sept 30
- Will focus next on adding support for MySQL
- Had discussion about bundling options again
- Either have a separate bundle for the shared code or package it in each of the DB-specific bundles
- Some JDBC drivers currently ship with OSGi bundle support, others don't
- Would ideally like the JDBC producers to take the code from DBAccess and use it to provide their own support
- In the short term we need to provide consumers with JDBC bundle support
- Juergen to decide on a strategy that is both easy to build and maintain and easy for users to consume
- Management
- Lazar (new committer) is going to be working on getting a proper build in place
- Need to add some tests since there does not appear to be any
- Question about whether OSGi CT tests can be used - don't know if it has been resolved within Eclipse yet
- Action: Mike to find out what the current state of OSGi licensing is
- New JMX features are coming out in the next spec
- David B is working on this, and Alex Alves may be helping with the tests
- Action: Mike to talk to Alex to see if he would be interested in donating any tests that he writes to Gemini Mgmt as well as the CT
- Web
- Working on a few bugs, none critical
- Web site areas and wiki was updated with some examples
- Preparing for EclipseCon demo combining Web with Naming
- JPA
- Common Repo
- Common Gemini P2 site now available to all projects
- Used for project releases, not builds or milestones
- Git Migration
- JPA is considering moving to Git
- DBAccess has already requested a Git repo
- Not a priority for Management right now
