WTP Development Status Meeting 2007-04-12

Attendees

John L, Neil H, David W, Jess G, Rob F, Bob F, Raghu S, Larry D, Tim D, Angel V, Amy W, Nitin D, Carl A

Announcements

• David - It is a bad practice to catch throwables and not rethrow them. See note to mailing list for more info.

This interferes with handling and debugging of out of memory thread death problems.

The related corollary to this is proper exception handling and logging as well.

WTP 1.5.4

• WTP Release 1.5.4 Schedule

WTP 2.0

• Remaining Europa Timeline

March 2007 - June 2007

	Platform	+1	WTP
M7 - RC0	May 04	May 11	May 18
RCn...
Europa	Jun 29	Jun 29	Jun 29

• Europa To Do's

• Ensure all plugin manifests have execution environments specified - David to open bugzilla, each component needs to do this for RC0. This is about half done. Stay tuned for more info.
• Move WS bundles to orbit - Goal is end of next week.
• Use signed plugin jars - This is not a requirement anymore, but we will still investigate.
• Component Leads - Take a look at the new New WTP 2.0 Plan document published by Raghu and make any updates for your component. The purpose is to have a good clear picture of what we achieved and what we wanted to acheive but deferred.

• Europa Testing

Components should start setting up Europa update site test environments where they run smoke tests with many projects other than WTP installed, like Mylar, BIRT, etc and make sure WTP function still works.

• April 6th - May 18th, WTP RC0

April 2007 - May 2007

• Build Status

Please smoke test and update wiki to declare the first RCO I Build.

JUnits - common.frameworks.ui has versioning issue, we will respin but should not hold up smoke tests

• Exceptions to M6 Feature Complete

• We will create "list of known exceptions" by M6 release (4/6), and send to cross-project (or planning?) list. And we'll state explicitly that others after this time (if required) will be handled by PMC approval process in bugzilla. The purpose of this increased review is not to limit committers efforts or creativity, but instead for stability and to keep everyone well informed (both inside and outside the project).
• Component Leads: please update the exception section of WTP_2.0_Ramp_down_Plan_for_Europa with the relevant info and bugzilla numbers.

• Conventions for internal package use - see Eclipse API Central

Export all packages in manifest?

Use of x-friends or x-internal

• Access Rules and new Build Page - see Tweaking the Access Rules for WTP

Action 1 = For any violation, open a bug to request API or fix code to not use internal discouraged access

Action 2 = If you do have a clean plugin of API violations/discourage access, switch prereq ranges wide so you can react to small version number changes without issue.

Action 3 = To be able to develop with discouraged access enabled, we need to update plugin's .classpath rules. Should we turn off defaults to expose all warnings to get a quicker resolution?

• Copyright Tools - Let's plan to run the eclipse copyright tool to ensure all files have a proper copyright before we declare RC0.

Amy - There are two versions of the tool, regular and advanced. The regular only works with the IBM copyright, so if you want to use a different copyright you need to use advanced. It did a good job of ignoring files which already had copyrights.

• Adopter Breakages

The adopter usage scans are now run for every build (separate process) to give more immediate feedback.

Open bugs against releng if you see issues with any of the tools.

• Bug Lists

Bugzilla Enhancements Targeted for 2.0 RC0 (~38)

All Remaining 2.0 Targeted Enhancements (~48)

2.0 Invalid Targeted Defects <RC0 (~0)

2.0 Hot Bug Requests (~0)

2.0 Hot Bugs (~0)

2.0 Remaining Targeted RC0 Defects (~145)

2.0 Total Bugs Fixed (~327)

2.0 JPA Total Bugs Fixed (~56)

2.0 Targeted Bugs (Graph)

All Remaining 2.0 Targeted Bugs (~238)

Performance Tests

Known Issues

• Switch the 2.0 performance tests baseline to be the latest 1.5.x
• The XSD and WSDL tests are not running. Adding them causes the suite to hang. Needs investigation.
• The baseline test needs to be rerun each week to eliminate false "hiccups" in performance.

Action Items

• Improve the UI readability and cohesiveness of the output result pages
• Assign component lead ownership to the specific test suites
• Improve the actual tests. Why do some take so long? Why do some results fluctuate? Why do some have 160% performance degradations? Are the tests even still valid?
• Allow committers to reliably and efficiently run perfomance suites in the workspace before checking in code
• Add JSF and JPA performance JUnits
