Agenda

New Stuff

  • Late API Change Requests
    • We really need to draw a finishing line now!
    • bug 233068 - [api][breaking] Remove tm.discovery.edit reexport of EMF
    • bug 231209 - [api][breaking] IRemoteFile.getSystemConnection() should be changed to IRemoteFile.getHost()
    • bug 230821 - [api][breaking] IRemoteFileSubsystem is inconsistent with IFileService
    • bug 230919 - [api][breaking][files] IFileService.delete() should not return a boolean
    • bug 212742 - [api] Need a Utility to send commands and receive output without prompt

Steps Towards Ganymede

  • DSDP/TM/3.0 Ramp down Plan for Ganymede
    • We have RC1, so from now on EVERY checkin must be tracked in bugzilla, even simple cleanups (except documentation-only or unittest-only things)
    • there MUST be a +1 vote on the bug (though the vote can happen after the fact)
    • Please do NOT only ask me for reviewing, it doesn't scale
  • Testing
    • We should do another round of coordinated testing with TM 3.0 RC2 in order to find bugs important enough to get fixed
    • Who can organize it?
  • Bug Triage
    • Please take the time and triage your still 3.0 assigned bugs to see which of them can be deferred to 3.0.1
    • All "3.0" assigned bugs must be triaged now and either assigned a proper RC milestone or 3.0.1 (with the exception of Documentation-only fixes)
  • New and Noteworthy
    • I'll need a list of new features for a New&Noteworthy, and for the Release Review. Release Review material is due next week.
    • See CDT/User/NewIn50 for example; for TM, I put most news into our Build Notes already, so it should be possible to compile the N&N out of the build notes
    • For the N&N, please make screenshots and work on "your" new features, e.g.
      • Useractions
  • Hi-priority-bugs
    • Severity Major, Hi-Priority
    • Current Statistics: 1 blocker (Martin), 1 critical (Martin), 10 major (DaveD, DaveM, Kevin, Martin, Michael), 20 other P2's
    • Please fix the known hi-priority bugs as soon as possible -- best before the coordinated testing on RC2, to ensure we get good test coverage
    • Community contributions: Only few unapplied patches right now, should apply now if possible (see also the Bug Process Page for a query)
  • Cleanup Work
    • Besides the hi-priority issues, there is a LOT of cleanup to do:
      • New releng scripts on dsdp.eclipse.org (Martin: must-have before his vacation)
      • Copyright Year Updates (Run the releng Copyrights Tool)
      • API Tooling Javadocs(@noextend and friends) - bug 227368, bug 225529 comment 4 and bug 225529 comment 6 - DSDP/TM/Code Ownership
      • Review and improve Userdocs; we have several open bugs here
      • Review and improve Javadocs; lots still missing
      • Fix broken hyperlinks in the docs, fix HTML/XML errors (which can make the indexer not work)
      • Get rid of compiler warnings wherever possible
      • Add more Unittests -- ideally write an accompanying unittest for every bugfix
      • Run Findbugs -- Update site on http://findbugs.cs.umd.edu/eclipse, Quickdocs by Rado in tm-dev E-Mail
        • Question about filtering false positives posted on fb-discuss link
    • TM Website: revamp should really be complete for Ganymede! AI Kevin?

What will happen after Ganymede?

  • Propose working on TM 3.0.1 (bugfixes only) in HEAD until fall
  • Start coming up with "Big Rocks" to address in the next cycle; re-use the TM Future Planning page? Some examples:
    • Connection Grouping - be Multicore aware
    • Rewrite the Tableview to be really aware of Properties
    • More dynamic subsystem enablement and configuration (e.g. detect UNIX vs Windows automatically at runtime)
    • Hi-Performance, caching EFS provider
    • Bring TCF to Maturity
    • Quality: Add unittest coverage, reduce bloat, improve performance, streamline APIs
  • Shoot for TM 3.1 or 4.0?
