'''April 3, 2013''' - McQ, Dani, John, Andrew
+
* Move to PGP signed content news to IDE WG and Planning Council
−
* John: Kepler draft plan update ready, please take a look and provide comments
+
** Well received so far
−
* We discussed EclipseCon. It was a very good event for Eclipse project. On desktop community is moving forward on Eclipse 4. There was lots of good feedback, and very little grumbling. Orion was very well represented, lots of talks and demos from several companies adopting it.
+
** 2022-03 to has the implementation, 2022-06 to do full switch
 +
** we use PGP for content not delivered to Simrel
 +
** Ed helps with implementation/bug fixes
 +
** only concern is critical CVE - that would require either help or PGP signed content being pushed to 2022-03
 +
*** To be further discussed if such an issue happens
 +
* ECF relation
 +
** Project is heavily under resourced
 +
** No one knows good reason to still be using Apache Httpclient, Java HttpClient is not tried out and the previous JVM Http code had severe limitations
 +
** Development falling out on Platform releng for updates to Apache Httpclient, Windows proxy support and etc. is a no-go
 +
** Possible plan
 +
*** Create Java Httpclient based connector for ECF or enhance the current default one to use Httpclient and not Httpconnection - removes need to update Apache Httpclient dependency, take care of windows specific bundles with JNA dependency and so on
 +
*** If previous doesn't uncover limitation in Java's Httpclient stop shipping Apache Httpclient connector
 +
*** Assuming 2 previous complete - look if it makes sense to not have ECF as a dependency at all to skip one cyclic dependency

'''March 20, 2013''' - McQ, Dani, Martin, Andrew
+
−
* Dani: '''Java 8''' - jdt.core making very good progress - almost everything compiles in the editor
+
−
* Dani: '''pom files update''' - to be discussed in the arch call
+
−
* Martin: {{bug|402509}} '''Context Menus''' - no feedback, ping again
+
−
* Martin: {{bug|145635}} '''Pin & Clone'''
+
−
** Dani - the feature itself is good and makes sense, would also like it in JDT
+
−
** '''The UI metaphor is new and would need some testing in the Field''' - McQ would like the patch in ASAP in a way that doesn't cause more swirl to start experimenting
+
−
** CDT would need to adopt it, upstream changes needed
+
−
** Current implementation showed quite a lot of ripples and bugs
+
−
*** Current impl breaks existing workflows, that's the big problem
+
−
** John: only 1 milestone left, if it appears in M7 and breaks any adopters they have little time to react;
+
−
*** Can loop-in JDT and CDT, but there might be others ...
+
−
*** Was PTP involved in any way ? They could also be broken, they have very special requirements
+
−
** McQ: Do we have ownership of this work ? - If we have a clear need and a clear owner working on it we could give it a try
+
−
** '''AI Martin''' (1) Clarify with CDT why they didn't like the feature and what are their plans; all the rest comes after that eg PTP, Pawel, can it be done in a non-breaking way
+
−
* John: {{bug|402912}} '''Significant Memory Leak in M6''' fixed this week: noticable if eclipse running for a long time
+
−
** Workaround for M6: Turn off Workbench Autosave feature by setting it to 0
+
−
** ''AI Post to cross-project'' - people doing demos at Eclipsecon might want to use the workaround
+
−
* Martin: {{bug|397896}} '''New Classic Package''' - initial package done but unusable while the SDK branding bundle's contents is not migrated
+
−
** Martin will continue pushing for this to happen - fallback would be not
+
−
** Not much risk in judging whether it's good or not, only binary diff needed
+
−
* John: {{bug|380325}} '''Java 7 filesystem fragment'''
+
−
** McQ do we know performance implications, could we get rid of the native bundles ?
+
−
** Martin would like to have the fragment in all builds, to make it easier to test performance etc implications
+
−
* Martin: {{bug|403589}} '''eclipse.inf'''
+
−
** Different binary bits depending on distribution channel is bad ... Tycho removed
+
−
** Defect in post-processing (why does it add eclipse.inf) or defect in bundle preparation (why isn't eclipse.inf in there) ?
+
−
** Maybe related to pack200 conditioning - Martin thinks that eclipse.inf was used in the past as a marker to know whether pack200 conditioning has happened ... now downstream aggregator conditions and adds eclipse.inf
+
−
** '''AI John investigate'''

−
*** Mostly clean-up, documentation; removing some bad stuff

** John: Some API has been provisional for 3 years - can't make wholesale changes now for the fun of it

−
*** May phase in some changes by adding @noreference rather than deleting stuff
