| − | *** | + | ** e4 has always been intended to be a sandbox project where people could try things that are experimental or are on a longer timeline |

| + | * PMC is considering the potential of an SDK / IDE working group at the foundation | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Discussion Do we need the extra releng work to create p2 repositories for milestones? | ||
| + | ** Lot of extra work and sometimes goes wrong | ||
| + | ** All I-Builds are anyway available | ||
| + | |||
| + | -> PMC decided to drop the additional p2 repository | ||

| + | ** Discussion about the purpose of the milestone week at all | ||
| + | -> Decision not to change the process for now, as the additional testing and focus has also some benefits | ||

| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | '''Oct 20, 2020''' - Lars, Tom, McQ, Alex | ||
| + | * EclipseCon is running virtual this week | ||
| + | * Agreement that removal of API should only before M1 release | ||
| + | * Proof of concept for using Java 11 http client instead of ECF should be done | ||
| + | * if we remove ECF we should send out an announcement and keep it for at least one release | ||
| + | * Decision to start using the @Deprecated(since = "x.y.z", forRemoval = true) for planned API removals if the bundle can use Java 11, wiki for API removal should be updated | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Oct 6, 2020''' - Dani, Tom, McQ, Alex | ||
| + | * M1 under control | ||
| + | * Release train materials being worked | ||
| + | * Moved to Jetty 9.4.32 | ||
| + | * ECF — need to simplify how we consume http client | ||
| + | ** could use Java11 http client instead, but this would require significant development effort | ||
| + | ** Tom/Alex to take an initial stab at understanding scope + open bugs | ||
| + | * Proposal: remove API once a year | ||
| + | ** Given the already long time for consumers to respond to API deprecation, PMC decision was to continue to allow API removal in any release. It was felt that the incremental benefit was outweighed by the need to be able to move forward quickly. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | '''Sep 15, 2020''' - Dani, Tom, Lars, Alex | ||
| + | * M1 | ||

| + | * Alex: 4.18 stream opened and releng work calmed down | ||
| + | * Lars: Cleanup of migration guides | ||
| + | ** Dani: this will break existing links, so existing content have to stay unless someone does all the work to fix our plans and other links that will break | ||
| + | ** McQ: help system needs work to focus on the latest stuff/release, what should we do to achieve it? How can we better shape the help system now that having all content ofline is not a requirement? | ||
| + | ** Alex: do not ship migration, n&n,etc. but rather point to website url from help system | ||
| + | ** Alex: this would also reduce manual work for releng (+1 by Dani) | ||
| + | ** ACTION ITEM: Alex to work on n&n in help system to use the website content directly as a proof of concept for further work | ||

| + | *** Orbit should soon automate the linking to clearly defined approvals for bundles added. Currently a work in progress by Roland at Orbit. | ||
| + | *** The ratings system at clearly defined is not used. Only the license check is used. | ||
| + | ** PMC needs to review latest handbook on the topic ... As of now we should move forward with the new process | ||

| + | ** Dark theme rebuild for M2 due to severe issue | ||
| + | * ICU4J removal note sent | ||
| + | ** Lars - 2 years notice period needed? | ||
| + | ** Agreement: it's needed as we expose it in API and still have usages in internals so we need time to clean up ourself | ||
| + | ** EPPs cleanup - some blocked by JDT still using it, some by WTP, Rust probably the first one to be icu4j clean | ||

| + | ** Number of themes to be reduced | ||
| + | ** Performance not being measurable | ||
| + | ** Agreement: add preference to switch the rounded vs | ||

| + | * Windows theme update - | ||
| + | ** Fix colors to match Windows 10 | ||
| + | ** GTK looks way more sane as more effort has been invested to keep it current | ||
| + | ** Don't set colors but use the colors from the OS theme is the recipe | ||
| + | ** Ugly white line on windows dark theme needs bugzilla open | ||

| + | * Databinding analyis was done by Jens Lindstroem and it looks good for an API compliant solution | ||
| + | * Alex will prepare the information for cross that we will drop ibm icu from the SDK build | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | '''April 21, 2020''' - McQ, Alex, Tom, Lars | ||
| + | * Q: How do we deal with ICU removal from data binding? | ||
| + | ** Need to follow standard API removal rules | ||
| + | *** Deprecate old API and offer new API | ||
| + | *** Remove deprecated API after 2 years | ||
| + | ** Can we put the old stuff in a fragment that could be removed? | ||
| + | * Theming: rounded tabs versus square tabs ({{bug|562221}}) | ||
| + | ** Should we offer it at all? | ||
| + | ** Alex: Don’t increase the number of themes or options | ||
| + | ** Lars: Square tabs are faster | ||

Meeting Schedule
The Eclipse Project PMC has a weekly phone meeting every Tuesday at 11.00am EST.
Meeting Minutes
Mar 31, 2021 - McQ, Tom, Alex, Lars
- Java 16 jar signing issue
- Tom wants to replace equinox implementation with builtin Jar file implementation so changes don't have to be done in Equinox on each release
- JSP/Jetty story in IDE
- Do we still need same functionality?
- Alex - get out of the business for help system. Dependencies (jetty, lucene) generate more releng work than we can handle.
- McQ - url for plugin help would be simplest and open it in browser
- Any change (e.g. JSP removal) has to go through standard deprecation period, announcements and etc.
- Alex to initiate communication on longer term plan with Holger who works on improvements to help system lately
Mar 31, 2021 - McQ, Tom, Alex
- PMC call time
- Overlaps with Planning council call and both Tom and Alex can't make both
-> Decision: Skip PMC call every first Wed of the month
- Webpage Hugo migration
- Recommended by Eclipse Foundation and active contributor to do the conversion
- Concerns about mixing old and new content are raised but they don't look severe
- Supported by PMC
-> Tom to handle initial communication on behalf of PMC
- Planning process relevance
- the planning process is not providing the detailed and usable plans from the past
- not a pain point as fewer people participate it but looks like useless exercise quite often
- to be discussed....
Mar 24, 2021 - Tom, Alex, Lars
- Pack 200 - API removal in 2 years - 2023-06
- Should we turn off all pack 200 features in one year, make it consistent across all Java versions.
- 2022-06 - disable pack200 for all Java versions. Calling the deprecated API will be a no-op
- Pack 200 - When can we stop generating? Agreed on 2021-09 release. We should set the precedence as early as possible to stop producing pack200 artifacts.
- split packages
- Causing issues with mandatory directive and p2 bug 360659 and with tycho.
- Currently tycho requires some work arounds for usage of split packages
- Can we work to get rid of split packages. We agreed to investigate the work and move to combine split packages if possible.
Mar 17, 2021 - McQ, Tom, Alex, Lars
- SWT Chromium support
- Still no recent version of Chromium with security patches
- Will be dropped in M1 (if no recent version is provided in the next weeks or if no one steps up)
- Pack 2000 support
- not supported anymore as of Java 14
- will be deprecated and marked for removal
- Moving Eclipse repos to Github
- Moving to Github might simplify and therefore increase contributions
- Huge amount of work in releng
- Potentially we should all subprojects at the same time
- We check if the foundation plans to move everything to Gitlab
Mar 10, 2021 - McQ, Tom, Alex
- Moving to Jetty 10 for next release
- platform-dev discussion about move to GitHub
- conversation is useful, but would take a lot of planning
- lots of current rel eng dependencies on Gerrit
- need more community help for rel eng issues
- a massive amount of history in our Bugzilla
- release record and proto-plan created for 4.20
Febr 17, 2021 - Lars, Alex, McQ
- Looks good for 4.19 release
- Mac ARM has to wait for the 4.20 release, as the team fights multiple issues
- Top-level project page can currently only be edited by Tom, other PMC members also have access to it https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/eclipse/who
Dec 15, 2020 - Lars, Alex, McQ
- 06. January 2021 is the next meeting
- How can PMC increase the awareness of the project leads / committers?
- Maybe invite the project leads once per month to the PMC meeting?
- Discussion how we can increase the JDT community
Dec 01, 2020 - Lars, Alex, McQ
- RC1 is out; final touches on RC2
- How can we remove the confusion about "e4" project?
- e4 has always been intended to be a sandbox project where people could try things that are experimental or are on a longer timeline
- Should be renamed to make it clear this isn't about leftovers from the Eclipse 4.0 work (maybe "eNext"?)
- Should clean up repos
- Remove repos that just hold code that has already moved to the platform
- Remove repos that are no longer getting any investment
- Work toward moving things that are active/useful into the platform (e.g. "spies" to PDE)
Nov 24, 2020 - Lars, Alex, McQ
- PMC is considering the potential of an SDK / IDE working group at the foundation
- Discussion Do we need the extra releng work to create p2 repositories for milestones?
- Lot of extra work and sometimes goes wrong
- All I-Builds are anyway available
-> PMC decided to drop the additional p2 repository -> Alex will be sending out an email about it to inform potential users of the special p2 repos
- Discussion about the purpose of the milestone week at all
-> Decision not to change the process for now, as the additional testing and focus has also some benefits
Nov 17, 2020 - Lars, Alex, Tom, McQ
- Release 4.18 winding down
- SWT churn for Linux and Mac Big Sur
- Does not appear the Foundation got the new Mac Hardware for testing
- Planning Council discussion
- Dani filled the Eclipse TLP representation role on the Council
- Alex can take the lead to that role
- Alex will look to find a replacement for the tools TLP representative
Nov 10, 2020 - Lars, Alex, Tom, McQ
- Still dealing with the loss of Dani
- Discussed representation of JDT on PMC
- Stabilizing for M3
- Some releng issues with Java 15 and 16
- Tom began investigating p2 ECF httpclient dependency
Nov 10, 2020 - Lars, Alex, Tom, McQ
- Still dealing with the loss of Dani
- Discussed representation of JDT on PMC
- Stabilizing for M3
- Some releng issues with Java 15 and 16
- Tom began investigating p2 ECF httpclient dependency
Nov 3, 2020 - Lars, Alex, Tom, McQ
- Dani!
Oct 27, 2020 - Lars, Tom
- Nothing to discuss
Oct 20, 2020 - Lars, Tom, McQ, Alex
- EclipseCon is running virtual this week
- Agreement that removal of API should only before M1 release
- Proof of concept for using Java 11 http client instead of ECF should be done
- if we remove ECF we should send out an announcement and keep it for at least one release
- Decision to start using the @Deprecated(since = "x.y.z", forRemoval = true) for planned API removals if the bundle can use Java 11, wiki for API removal should be updated
Oct 6, 2020 - Dani, Tom, McQ, Alex
- M1 under control
- Release train materials being worked
- Moved to Jetty 9.4.32
- ECF — need to simplify how we consume http client
- could use Java11 http client instead, but this would require significant development effort
- Tom/Alex to take an initial stab at understanding scope + open bugs
- Proposal: remove API once a year
- Given the already long time for consumers to respond to API deprecation, PMC decision was to continue to allow API removal in any release. It was felt that the incremental benefit was outweighed by the need to be able to move forward quickly.
Sep 15, 2020 - Dani, Tom, Lars, Alex
- M1
- Next week M1 - Alex to send reminder note
- Holiday in India on this Friday
- Y-Build for Java 16
- Builds should be fixed and can continue to progress on Java 16
- SCR upgrade
- Some issues with EBR maven plugin
- causes versions to be incorrectly represented in p2 meta-data
- Orbit needs a new lead, will end up impacting us if no replacement found
- Tycho being updated to be able to OSGi-fy JARs if they are not there yet.
- How to use this for a feature?
- Behaves much like Orbit to produce new versions of the artifact.
- Could be the solution for Orbit needs.
Sep 22, 2020 - no meeting
Sep 15, 2020 - McQ, Dani, Lars, Tom, Alex
- Dani: Java 15 released today

- Dani: Zoom call with password unless each of the PMC members can be added as meeting owner so can start the meeting
- Alex: 4.18 stream opened and releng work calmed down
- Lars: Cleanup of migration guides
- Dani: this will break existing links, so existing content have to stay unless someone does all the work to fix our plans and other links that will break
- McQ: help system needs work to focus on the latest stuff/release, what should we do to achieve it? How can we better shape the help system now that having all content ofline is not a requirement?
- Alex: do not ship migration, n&n,etc. but rather point to website url from help system
- Alex: this would also reduce manual work for releng (+1 by Dani)
- ACTION ITEM: Alex to work on n&n in help system to use the website content directly as a proof of concept for further work

- M2 shipped on time
- Dark theme rebuild for M2 due to severe issue
- ICU4J removal note sent
- Lars - 2 years notice period needed?
- Agreement: it's needed as we expose it in API and still have usages in internals so we need time to clean up ourself
- EPPs cleanup - some blocked by JDT still using it, some by WTP, Rust probably the first one to be icu4j clean

- Number of themes to be reduced
- Performance not being measurable
- Agreement: add preference to switch the rounded vs
- Agreement: when preference is available Square is default

- Deprecate old API and offer new API
- Remove deprecated API after 2 years
- Can we put the old stuff in a fragment that could be removed?
- Need to follow standard API removal rules
- Theming: rounded tabs versus square tabs (bug 562221)

March 10, 2020 - Lars, Tom
- Dani: Regrets for the call (vacation)
- ICU4J use still under discussion
- if we can be confident that performance and language support are of *similar* quality, we should work towards removing icu4j because it reduces complexity for us, in addition allowing for smaller RCP apps
- note that we already have mixed usage -- some components using icu4j and some not
- to clarify approvals that require a project lead can be done by a project lead for any of the Eclipse Project subprojects
- as usual, the project lead should take care to understand the change and its implications before approving

- Alex: ICU4J removal
- Dani: ICU4J reacts faster to changes and supports more features (new Japanese era)
- Alex: It might but Eclipse fails at keeping up so current version shipped with Eclipse misses features that the JVM supports (latest CLDR)
- Dani: Asks for a proof that JVM is better that ICU
- Alex: Which metrics to be measured?
- Dani: Will check with ICU guy about that and whether it's still needed

February 11, 2020 - McQ, Alex, Dani, Lars, Tom
- Alex: Infrastructure is very instable, how can be complain to the foundation?
- Alex: Eclipse foundation server team not responding to complains and seem unclear about the source of the issue
- Discussion about makes a stronger statement to the foundation about the bad state of the infrastructure
- McQ: Suggestion to send a note as PMC to the foundation
- Dani: First we should ask webmaster why this takes so long
- Alex: Marketplace infrastructure is also in bad state
- Dead marketplace entries are not getting removed https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=550713
- No clean contact person from the foundation
- Marketplace is also not Open Source hence we cannot fix thing ourself.
-> Alex to contact Denis and to cc the other PMC members
