=== Current work items (master bugs) ===
+
=== Discussion ===
* {{bug|252647}} - Master plan item for e4 flexible resources (referenced on [http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=eclipse e3.5 project plan])
+
** {{bug|252996}} - Serge: Resource Tree Filters - ''in e4 currently''
+
** {{Bug|229633}} - Serge: Linked resources with relative path / variable-based; grouping feature - ''in e4 currently''
+
** {{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|244979}} - Martin: Lazy Refresh
+
** {{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
+
** {{bug|215261}} - Chris: EFS logical/physical API
+
* Metadata: Sharing/Linking/Inheritance of project settings? Pluggable Project Persistence? What to do for Build stuff
+
** {{bug|255371}} 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 [http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/eclipse-incubator-e4-dev/msg00873.html Hadoop DFS]?
+
* Workspace Concept Separation
+
** '''John''' separate workspace from instance area bug - see [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=245399#c2 bug 245399 comment 2]
+
** {{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.
+
* '''Serge Groups''': CDT doesn't work with e4 additions at the moment ... some things may need to wait until next CDT release
 +
** DND additions are only in the Resource Navigator, but not yet in Common Navigator / Project Explorer, leading to exceptions
 +
** Martin: JohnA already suggested bringing a clone of Common Navigator into e4 - '''AI Martin''' E-Mail John
 +
** CDT Interoperability: resource.getLocation() could return null with EFS before... only with Groups, this is much more common, so the code needs to be fixed anyways
 +
*** Chris Recoskie agrees that there's still tons of getLocation() null problems in CDT
 +
** How would the indexer be impacted?
 +
** Works on Windows and Mac, serge hasn't tried Linux yet
 +
** Serge looked at some bugs filed by James Blackburn
  
=== Discussion ===
+
* '''James''' {{bug|253912}} single IResource for multiple aliases, and Scheduling Rules
 +
** Martin thinks that multiple IResource for aliases is better since more flexible, but those aliases need to be better linked to each other
 +
** James agrees, but AliasManager must be improved -- problems with SchedulingRules and locking for instance
 +
** Some functionality is wrong with multiple IResource for alias, e.g. multiple Local History, multiple Team Support ...
 +
** Martin: what about multiple different team providers for a single file? E.g. project A with CVS, project B with SVN, both contain same file (as liked resource)
 +
*** Doug, James don't think this is a valid use-case. Symlinks are different than aliases.
 +
** AliasManager to provide API to centralize things like local history...
 +
** Martin thinks that symbolic links are not so much different than linked resources, they are only persisted differently
 +
** "Deep Move" / "Deep Copy" of trees including linked resources is not what the user expects
 +
** James using git to cherry-pick between e3.5 / e4 / patches etc...
 +
*** Martin had hoped that git could help re-basing e4 to the latest 3.5 milestones on every milestone
 +
*** James managed to import e4 into his e3.5 git repo since initial commits (SHA1 hashes) were the same --> real fork point was shown
 +
*** James has publicly accessible repo for tracking e3.5 and e4... creating the initial repository puts heavy load on the Eclipse servers... tracking branches need to stay clean... James runs cronjob every 12 hours... james uses this to bring serge's e4 patch
 +
