Review of Last Meeting
- Architecture Council/Meetings/October 8 2009
-
Martin to recommend Nick Boldt to Mike for nomination - Martin to talk to Eclipse PMC regarding e4 representation, API deprecation
- Still open items moved to #Action Items
New Topics
- Martin: pre-integration of tools
- IntelliJ gone open source.
- Main value proposition is better pre-integration of tools (e.g. svn).
- Eclipse Platform interested in getting improvements in that area, e.g. simpler pre-integration of update sites into the Eclipse Platform -- something like an "Add to my Workbench" wizard to get hi-profile things like Mylyn, XML Editor, svn ... that people need.
- AC input on that idea? Who would help out or provide content / extensions for such an infrastructure?
- Mik: There is two categories - pre-integration of Tools (svn,...) , and pre-integration of frameworks (Grails, spring framework)
- Eclipse relies on its ecosystem for making this available
- Either bring more stuff into Eclipse, or make it easier to install stuff after the fact
- Wayne: We don't have the resources to test. Would love to see a better install story
- Martin/John: Eclipse Platform thinking about pre-configured profiles to install... e.g. in Eclipse Platform, have a "Give me an XML Editor"
- Oisin: p2 is a great platform (automatic dependency mgmt), UI is lacking
- Mik: Installing the Mylyn integrations was just too hard
- Mik: bug 291094 - Install Technologies
- Wayne: Generalizing the Discovery Connector is a step in the right direction
- Mylyn Connector Discovery is a UI on top of p2
- Vendor puts together a single update site (with references to other sites)
- Need to be careful about IP (works-with dependency)
- David W: Load on the Server may be High
- bug 261544 API Deprecation Policies
- John: This is focused on the Platform, no attempt to craft
We need to reduce our bug backlog, by actually coming to a common resolution on some. Here are the most recent ones:

- (old) Michael to flesh out the Patterns idea and remind the EAC -- started Architecture Council/Top Ten Recommendations#Design Patterns, backed by EclipseCon tutorial proposals
