Release 2 Planning Documents

Target

• Version 1.0
• With needed quality
• With needed features (to have “full” development environment)
• With needed documentation

Priorities

Features have a priority High, Medium, Low and the following list has been sorted accordingly

Content Proposal

HIGH PRIORITY

Fixes and enhancements to R1

• Finalize the APIs
  • Declare internal code
  • Declare Public/Supported APIs
• Enhance documentation
  • User Documentation
  • Developer Documentation
  • API Documentation
• Project based preferences
• Support for non UEI SDKs (user provides the information for any platform that is not already defined)

• There needs to be a run option for non-MidP projects

I believe this needs to be in the highest priority to bring parity to non-MIDP projects.

-- Kevin Horowitz

• Enhance build mechanism to manage resources
• Bug fixes

Device Fragmentation Solution

I believe that the Visual Designers are actually a lower priority for our developers right now. Especially the LCDUI editor. Even if we might complete this before some higher priority items for individual reasons, this should be a lower priority for the project.

Visual Designers

• LCDUI
• eSWT

-- Kevin Horowitz

Obfuscation

• Enable external obfuscator plug-ins

I believe this is very important to our usability. This will allow general users access to our product when a custom SDK has not been created. This should help adoption of our product. Create Generic SDK Interface (Define a generic SDK so that users can configure against something that has not been added by a vendor) Prioritize SDK Matches for automated solution

-- Kevin Horowitz

mtj.project has static information. It should have references to device information instead of local copies.

-- Moved to higher priority.

-- Kevin Horowitz

MEDIUM PRIORITY

New Profiles and configurations

• CDC
• Foundation Profile
• Personal Profile (no AWT visual editor)
• Personal Basis Profile
• MIDP 2.1 support
• MIDP 3.0 support (not included, but may come to the picture)

Support Multiple SDKs in a single project

• this is not part of the device fragmentation, but would be necessary to build a project with fragments

Visual Designers

• LCDUI
• eSWT

-- Copied down to here

-- Kevin Horowitz

I believe this is very important to our usability.

Provide a way to import a midlet into an existing project

-- Kevin Horowitz

Mobile JUnit

Localization (low)

• Manage resources
• Visual designer support

Profiling

Help

• F1 help
• Tool tip
• Coding tips

I believe this needs to be in the high priority item because we now have inconsistent data between a project and the runtimes.

mtj.project has static information. It should have references to device information instead of local copies.

-- Kevin Horowitz

Execution (Launch) Update

• There needs to be a run option for non-MidP projects

I believe this needs to be in the highest priority to bring parity to non-MIDP projects.

-- Kevin Horowitz

• There is a dirty bit on deploy projects to say they are out-of-date but it is not being used
• There needs to be a way to specify VM and Program arguments to the launch
• Enhance launch/debug framework to enable launch/debug on remote device in a simplistic manner

• Provide an OTA method to launch

We have code from EclipseME and should enable it to provide an OTA launch.

-- Kevin Horowitz

LOW PRIORITY

I believe this is very important to our usability. This will allow general users access to our product when a custom SDK has not been created. This should help adoption of our product.

Create Generic SDK Interface (Define a generic SDK so that users can configure against something that has not been added by a vendor) Prioritize SDK Matches for automated solution

-- Kevin Horowitz

Migration from other IDEs

Provide a way to import a combination of a jar and jad and create a new project from the result

I believe this is very important to our usability.

Provide a way to import a midlet into an existing project

-- Kevin Horowitz

Create Web Services stubs

Convert Audio

Provide a migration path from 0.7 to 1.0

We need to add all of the Europa requirements to this list.

Europa requirements: Europa Simultaneous Release
