    • Martin to co-ordinate EclipseCon talks - in contact with Kevin

EclipseCon

  • Kevin has hasked Martin whether the two talks on e4 resources can be combined (martin:1hr + serge:0.5hr == combined:1hr)

Provisioning

  • CVS Repo done, tagging strategy? (Paul proposed "v40_20081208-2000" and similar; is the time UTC or server time?)
    • Team Project Sets: e4.resources.psf, e4.resources.tests.psf
    • Martin proposes adding the org.eclipse.e4.resources.releng project, as well as the website project, to the team project set
    • Currently not in mapfile: core.filesystem.macosx.ppc, core.resources.hpux, core.resources.linux, core.resources.macosx, core.resources.qnx, core.resources.spysupport

Current work items (master bugs)

  • bug 252647 - Master plan item for e4 flexible resources (referenced on e3.5 project plan)
    • bug 252996 - Serge: Resource Tree Filters - ready to commit to e4 for review
    • bug 245412 - Martin: Physically nested projects - many related bugs e.g. James Blackburn bug 253898 LaunchManager
    • bug 233939 - Martin: Alias Management for symlinks - James Blackburn filed bug 253912 common IResource for all aliases
    • bug 229633 - Serge: Linked resources with relative path / variable-based; grouping feature - will start committing soon
    • bug 253705 - Szymon: Support for "branched" file systems (EFS for iSeries) - no coding yet but collected some iFS material
    • bug 255425 - Terry: Support for transactions when modifying ProjectDescription
  • Metadata: Sharing/Linking/Inheritance of project settings? Pluggable Project Persistence? What to do for Build stuff
    • Modeled Preferences
  • Faceted Project Framework - Eric Frey been looking at it, looks very interesting on the surface, would like to see it in CDT
  • Lightweight Resources: Terry Parker (tried TPTP now for profiling, now using JProfiler (slows down by 5-10x) - got pulled off into something else
  • Remote File System: Chris Recoskie (currently releasing PTP/RDT, will jump on e4 later, no news)
    • bug 253777 Support async programming patterns in Core
    • EFS Performance: tons of stat requests, should Resource layer do more caching or will we want a caching EFS implementation such as Hadoop DFS?
  • Workspace Concept Separation
    • John separate workspace from instance area
    • bug 245405 workspace description files for pushing workspace prefs to team members / facilitated on-boarding
    • bug 245399 multi-workspace

It looks like we're building things bottom up.
