Agenda
Date for Oxygen.1 release (Frederic Gurr)
The Oxygen.1 release was planned for September 27, 2017. Since JDK 9 GA is currently planned for September 21, I guess we need to realign. However, moving the Oxygen.1 release to September 21 collides with the Photon M2 release (September 22). Do we move Photon M2 to September 15 or do we postpone it to September 29? Are there any alternatives? (see also https://wiki.eclipse.org/Photon/Simultaneous_Release_Plan#Schedule)
Suggestions raised in https://wiki.eclipse.org/Planning_Council/June_07_2017#Java_9 involve having JDT produce a release candidate build that includes Java 9 on Sept 21.
- Option #1: Move the Oxygen.1 date to 2nd week October - GA on Oct 11 or 18
- Pro: neither of these conflict with the Photon dates (M2: 09/15-22, M3: 10/27-11/03)
- Con: delays Oxygen support for JDK9 so we might lose market share to other IDEs who can react faster (Mike's concern)
- Option #2: Add an extra release in October - GA on Oct 11 or 18
- Pro: get out an .1 release in September, as we've always done, even if it only has prelim support for JDK9
- Con: more overhead to do another release, even if it's a "JDK9 Update Only" change
- Option #3: Roll out Java 9 with Oxygen.2 in December (with Marketplace-based rollout in the interim on Oct 11 or 18)
- Pro: regular update release schedule (Sept, Dec) is maintained; early access support can be provided in Marketplace and updated once finalized outside the simrel train schedule
- Con: might be perceived as being slow to market; marketplace uptake might be small
More recently, a 4th option was proposed in this thread: https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/eclipse.org-planning-council/msg02769.html
- Option #4: Move Oxygen.1 to mid-September (Sept 13?), with a special JDK 9 / JUnit 5 Update release no more than a week later (Sept 21?) (Dani's suggestion)
- Con: would require adjusting the Photon M2 dates (09/15-22) to avoid overlap - could be 09/01-08 or 09/22-29
- Pro: would allow prompt support for JDK 9 as close to the Sept 21 GA date as possible
