E4/4.0/Release Process

Some components from the E4 incubator are proposing a move into the Eclipse Platform project. This page outlines the move plan and any steps that need to be performed as part of the move.

What is happening

• A set of bundles from e4 will seek to move into the Platform project (remaining under Eclipse TLP)
• The moved bundles, combined with existing mature bundles from Platform/JDT/PDE will be combined to produce a 4.0 release for July 28, 2010.

To do

• Paperwork/Process
  • PMC Approval
  • Move Review docuware
  • Committer elections
  • Move affected IPzilla entries to new project
• Source Code
  • Remove "Incubating" term from bundle/feature names
  • Change Unix group membership on moved projects to match destination component
  • Election of new committers in destination project
• Build
  • Move 4.0 builds to eclipse project download area
• Bugzilla
  • Move bugs related to graduated components to destination component buckets (Platform UI/Runtime)
