Note: This is an unofficial document used by the PDE team to help with the planning process. Items on this list aren't guaranteed to be found in a release.
Schedule
Dates are listed in the Eclipse Platform Releng Calendar (view as iCal)
Overall Goals
Improve PDE code quality
- Better testing
- Better milestone/release ramp down
More to come...
Work Items
PDE General
Bundles or Plug-ins
- Rename PDE to Bundle Development Environment
- Use of the word plug-in in UI
Improve PDE communications
- Continued web page improvements
- Use of wiki for meetings/planning
- Combine mailing lists
- Completed
- Involve incubator projects such as Picasso to the webpage, and use Athena/Hudson to propose builds/update-sites of these projects
- Integrate wiki based documentation
Graduate PDE Dependency Visualizer
- bug 106676: [pde viz] Graduate
PDE UI
Improve code quality
- Write tests for core components
- Improve code readability and javadoc of APIs
- Consider code coverage in tests
Target Platform
- Continue target platform definition enhancements.
- Target platform/definition contents could be managed entirely with p2 profiles for improved performance and for proper persistence/restoration.
- OSGi state could be associated with target definitions and leveraged for per-project target build paths.
- Remove dependency on preferences
- Improved APIs
- bug 169340: [API] [target] Expose a means to programmatically set and load a Target Platform
- Multiple target platforms
- bug 159072: [target] associate target definitions on a per-project basis (multiple target platforms per workspace)
API Tools
API Use Scans
- Make it really easy to generate API use scans
- Output can be HTML report or search results in the IDE (with attached source)
- Compare API use scans to see summary of dependencies added/removed between successive scans
- Analyze scans for potential breakage (internal dependencies) when moving to a new version of required components (for example WTP moving to a new version of the Eclipse SDK).
- Consider scans taylored to show API use based on frequency of use - i.e. what APIs internals are used most heavily.
- Performance improvements
Build
- bug 154083: Incremental Plug-in Build
- bug 106594: Make PDE fully workspace aware
- bug 222965: Use frameworkadmin to generate config.ini / eclipse.ini
Platform Support
- Eclipse: 3.6
- Target Platforms back to 3.0 supported
- Java: J2SE 1.4 or later required
- Operating Systems: all supported by Eclipse
