Agenda

• Our top goals
  • Grow the Communities - active users and adopters --> tutorial, docs, mailinglist help
  • Get the APIs Right --> enable public API discussion --> ISV docs, Wiki API discussion, [api] bugzilla's
  • Get our Processes in place --> JUnit, nightly builds, infocenter, update site
• Latest News
  • Martin -- Updated the Committer HOWTO: Counting lines of code, bug states; Checked in Jakarta Commons Net and Ewas Launch Patch; Release Review Slides; Checked IP-Log... Will we need EMO for 144226 dstore spirit patch?
  • DaveD -- Bug work, formatting and fixing javadoc along the way; fixed macbugs, working on profile/team stuff now
  • DaveM -- Bug work, e.g. dstore shell exit problem - harder than expected, output readers dont get notified
  • Kushal -- IBM & Bug work; might need a "Refresh completed" event - Dave and Kushal to discuss this together; rseConfigDefaults removed from ISV docs, but other refactorings not complete yet
  • Javier -- Vacation
  • Ted -- Europa Build Symposion
    • http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Europa_Build_Workshop_Report
    • Recommended to use buckminster as much as possible, as a build tool replacing ant
    • Complaints regarding build process - docs is 34 pages, which are the 3 that everyone wants?
    • All projects are encouraged to have Wiki updated with instructions how to build everyting from source
    • All projects to have RSS feeds in place by January
    • Separate the Build from the Publish
    • Terminalview: want to have something checked in early next week
  • Other News --
• Upcoming Work
  • Testing and Bug Work are top priorities this week.
    • Sign up on the RSE 1.0 Testing page!
    • Sanity testing I-builds towards M5/RC0: install + 30 minutes
      • Test Update Site at http://download.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/testUpdates/
      • Martin: Windows XP, Sun j2sdk1.4.2_12, Dstore-Linux, Dstore-unix; normal download minimal install
      • DaveD: Mac, Mac-local, Dstore-local-mac, ssh, dstore; probably Team example (go through tutorial); updateSite; core-install first, upgrade to sdk later
      • DaveM: Linux, Linux-local, Dstore-windows, ; normal download
      • Kushal: Linux, Linux-local, dstore-aix, ssh; updateSite;
      • Ted: Windows, ssh, ftp; normal download SDK
  • New bugs: REVIEW Assigned to Inbox, Status NEW
  • P1/P2 bugs MUST be fixed now!
    • Open bugs: P1, P2 bugs, API bugs, Open with Patch,
    • Kushal, DaveM to set status ASSINGED for their new bugs
    • DaveD: 150128 harder than expected, would like to defer: bugfix to persist each of 3 persist-jobs in a row is easier than adding the API for persist on demand
    • DaveM: 153652 copy&paste - drag&drop works always, copy&past fails from remote FS to windows explorer
    • How to defer bugs - lowering priority vs. RESOLUTION=LATER: See the Bug Process Page available from the Committer Howto
  • Test Signup on RSE 1.0 Testing
  • Source Code Style & Cleanness
    • Missing / Incomplete Copyrights: Please use the Releng tool from the bottom of the Eclipse 3.2 Download Page - See "6. Fix Copyrights"
    • Component owners please run the tool
    • Compiler Warnings: See Committer Howto
    • Code Ownership - DSDP/TM/Code Ownership
    • Code Style and Format - defer once more :-)
      • Not been a focus so far
      • RSE itself is inconsistent - e.g. if... without {} block is problematic
      • Use JDT autoformat as much as possible: perhaps define an RSE-style and check in with the projects?
      • Or use the standard eclipse style: might be problematic when merging RSE7 code into openRSE
  • Change Requests
    • SystemRegistry.getTheSystemRegistry() vs. RSEUIPlugin.getSystemRegistry()
    • Default colors for command view - white background, black or dark blue foreground
    • Remove rseConfigDefaults extension point - Kushal
    • Remove passwordPersistence extension point - Kushal
    • Deprecated getRemoteProperty() --> Document property namespaces, reserve "org.eclipse.rse" namespace
  • Features: Jakarta-commons/Net, JUnit-framework, Discovery, EFS-Experimental, WR-Terminal (bug 152826)
  • Refactorings: DaveM did most important stuff; consider "finished" for now, continue with hi-pri bugs
    • SystemRegistry.getTheSystemRegistry() vs. RSEUIPlugin.getSystemRegistry() -- need to keep this for now
    • Kushal IConnectorService --> if we can afford after addressing hi-pri bugs
    • Kushal rseConfigDefaults
    • Kushal passwordPersistence
  • API Things
    • Service Error Reporting - bug 149472 - DaveD - API ok so far, final resolution? --> Create new different bug id for that one.
    • Parallel Services - bug 142478 all queries in background - DaveM
    • SystemRegistry.createHost for Javier
      • bug 150168 dont commit immediately - DaveD
        • Javier: not important at the moment; DaveD: probably fixed already
      • bug 150265 allow specifying subsystem types - DaveM
        • Example: 1 Host providing shell and FTP (different categories)
        • Problem: createHost() only creates a host with 1 service -- See video for service discovery, DaveM to take a look at it
        • Need createHost() with a list of services
        • Can wait until hi-pri bugs are fixed.
    • Making stuff internal - ssh, ftp: Martin; Core: List of candidates from DaveD?
  • Cleanup: API Doc (duplicates in interface and implementation!), JUnit tests, Context help, Test Plans, RSE-7-migration-docs, Copyrights, licenses
• Other items
  • Tutorial: Update at the end of the release process, change instructions (re-use example code: We dont want to teach PDE)
  • Manual test plans - in work by Martin
  • EFS Experimental feature to be created by Martin
• Vacations, Holidays etc.
  • Martin - 2 weeks once the baby is here (around Oct.3, but could also be any time now)
  • DaveD taking Oct.12-13 off, 19-20 as well
• Free discussion -- feelings, comments, critics
