Backlog of development items (Build)

1. Summit Items
   1. Builds should be more OSGi centric
      • Manifests should determine build (not visa-versa: Reevaluate use of Bnd)
      • Any given component should build only when the component code changes
      • Bundle version info should be updated per actual component build (split marketing and bundle versioning)
   2. Rework build so it doesn't interfere with PDE/Eclipse
      • 260428 PDE projects do not export properly
      • 273911 Jar and Zips for projects in SVN breaks PDE development
   3. Reevaluate use of Ant: Ideally Eclipse/Dev build and Nightly build should be same system (Move to PDEBuild?)
2. Ongoing Projects
   1. Move CB to oracle build host (configure to allow sending messages to devlist)
      • Complete
   2. Rewrite all test builds to not require product rebuild.
      • 249974 compile.path not set warning eclipselink.jpa.test/build.xml after Ant 1.7.1 upgrade from 1.6
      • 293032 Test projects need to be able to run without product compile
      • 297217 New Test build requirements.
3. Bug backlog
   • Open Build bugs
   • External requests
     • 279176 Add annotations-only jar file
     • 298790 o.e.p.sdo manifest has optional dependencies that aren't
     • 308919 Eclipse link not available in central maven repo
   • Enhancement requests
     • 239040 Need to support running tests on database platforms that have more than one jdbc driver jar
     • 278435 Add build target that runs Core test with JPA and Oracle Extensions on Classpath
     • 294732 Need to move test framework to a separate project.
     • 295071 depend parameter should use variable instead of hardcoded jar name
     • 305386 The oracle extension build process needs to build oracle extension tests as well on a nightly basis
     • 309853 Spring test compile path needs rework for 2.5.6 and optionally 3.0
