Attendees

• IBM - Dave Dykstal, Dave McKnight, Kushal Munir
• Symbian - Javier Montalvo Orús
• Wind River - Martin Oberhuber, Ted Williams

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 -- Prepared, organized and joined the RSE 1.0 Testing effort; Release Review;
  • DaveD --
  • DaveM --
  • Kushal --
  • Javier --
  • Ted -- Terminalview
  • Other News --
• Looking back on 1.0 M5
  • Downloads to-date: __ (SDK), __ (win-server), __ (examples), __ (linux-server); plus __ from the update site
  • Please Review Bugs assigned to M5 milestone and set FIXED as appropriate (or change Target Milestone=1.0 RC1)
  • Comments?
• Upcoming Work
  • Bug Work is top priority this week, will consolidate again next week.
  • New bugs: REVIEW Assigned to Inbox, Status NEW
    • Open bugs: P1, P2 bugs, API bugs, Open with Patch,
    • 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&paste fails from remote FS to windows explorer.
  • Communications
    • We need a RSE 2.0 Project Plan! - Work on the RSE 2.0 Planning page
    • Should we reduce noise on the dsdp-tm-dev list?
  • Source Code Style & Cleanness
    • Missing / Incomplete Copyrights
    • Compiler Warnings: See Committer Howto
    • Code Ownership - DSDP/TM/Code Ownership
    • Code Style and Format
      • 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
