Minutes

NLS

• what happens if we have NLS changes later on in the cycle?
• just commit them, and people can react and update translations based on deltas provided from their tooling

Missing bundles

• Andrew has been working with PDE and they have seen cases where bundles have been missing from an upgraded install

Delta Pack

• Normal work-flow of extracting a delta pack on top of an install doesn't work anymore because we launch from the bundle.info
• Current behaviour is if the target is the running eclipse then use the bundle info, otherwise include everything in the target.
• PDE talked about adding auto-discovery but that is a problem because everything in the bundle pool would get installed
• Need to document the new work-flow and put it in the migration guide

Eclipse 3.4 RC1

• going through and assigning target milestones in bug reports
• things are looking pretty good
• still have some performance work to do
• looking at some work in the reconciler to avoid reconciliation unless necessary

Application IDs

• should we consider renaming some of our application ids? they are (for instance) org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app.application
• would probably confuse people more than it would help them
• could create a second id which is the same as the first
• are we able to deprecate an id?
• leave the ids for now
