| − | == Target Environment ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | All of Eclipse Scout is "pure" Java code and has no direct dependence on the underlying operating system. The chief dependence is therefore on the Java Runtime (JRE) itself. For Juno the following JREs are supported:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *Oracle Java 6
| + | |
| − | *Oracle Java 7
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Beside the JRE Eclipse Scout also requires a compatible Eclipse platform. For Juno release of Scout the following Eclipse platforms are supported:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *Eclipse Galileo (3.5) Limited support only: Scout Web UI (RAP) is not supported.
| + | |
| − | *Eclipse Helios (3.6)
| + | |
| − | *Eclipse Indigo (3.7)
| + | |
| − | *Eclipse Juno (3.8 / 4.2)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The RAP (Rich Ajax Platform) UI for Eclipse Scout requires at least the following browser versions:
| + | |
| − | *Microsoft Internet Explorer 9
| + | |
| − | *Mozilla Firefox 9
| + | |
| − | *Google Chrome 16
| + | |
| − | *Apple Safari 5
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Compatibility with Previous Releases ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To do (jgu), see [[http://wiki.eclipse.org/SimRel/Simultaneous_Release_Requirements#Compatibility_with_Previous_Releases requirements]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Support for Eclipse 3.8 workbench ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | While Juno plans to provide Eclipse 4.2 as the primary platform, the Eclipse Project will also be providing a 3.8 based version as well. This is done since it is anticipated some adopters may not be able to move to 4.2 right away, and may need to wait for their own "release train" to get lined up.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | We will support our adopters in a similar way: Eclipse Scout will support 3.8 as a secondary platform (while 4.2 will be the primary platform). But we anticipate having only one stream of development. Scout will continue to work with the 3.8 and 4.2 platform, using the compatibility layer, and no 4.2 specific APIs. For Juno we will make sure that Scout will also compile against 3.8 to ensure that we do not introduce new API useage that breaks on 3.8.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | However, We will not actively test Scout against 3.8. but will focus our Juno testing efforts on 4.2. We will accept bugs as equally valid if they are reported when running on either 3.8 or 4.2. We will provide this type of one-stream, dual-platform support for Juno and its two coordinated maintenance releases.

| − | === Build Steps ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Checklist for building Scout milestones ===
| + | |
| − | # configure build.properties file for the corresponding branch/trunk:
| + | |
| − | #* enter latest ecllipse milestone versions (e.g. 4.2_eclipseFileName=eclipse-SDK-4.2M5-win32.zip)
| + | |
| − | #* stagingAreaFolder=stagingAreaManual (staging area must be manual for milestone build)
| + | |
| − | #* update version: versionMajor,versionMinor,versionMicro
| + | |
| − | #* update milestone version: versionMilestone=M5 (N for nightly, RC for RCs)
| + | |
| − | #* scoutRepositoryFolder: version/Release Version (e.g. 3.8/M5 or 3.8/RC1 or 3.8/SR1_RC2 or nightly)
| + | |
| − | #* checkin
| + | |
| − | # create a Tag for the corresponding branch/trunk, e.g. 2012-01-31_S-3.8.0M5
| + | |
| − | # reset build.properties for nightly build
| + | |
| − | # backup and clean manual staging area
| + | |
| − | # run hudson build with the tag created before:
| + | |
| − | #* properties N für nightly, S für stable
| + | |
| − | #* choose tag. e.g. tags/2012-01-31_S-3.8.0M5 or trunk
| + | |
| − | # manually stage StagingAreaManual: e.g. copy /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/scout/stagingAreaManual/M5 to /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/scout/3.8/M5
| + | |
| − | # Test updatesite with empty eclipse
| + | |
| − | # Change Aggregator properties to point to the new build in cvs property file: /cvsroot/callisto/org.eclipse.juno.build/scout.b3aggrcon
| + | |
| − | #* make sure the versionRange is correct
| + | |
| − | #* update location <repositories location=
| + | |
| − | #* checkin (triggers aggregator build)
| + | |
| − | # Test the build
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Ramp down Policy ==
| + | |
| − | We use daily builds. No API changes after M6, no new features after M7. In the RC phase only bugs marked P2 or higher or severity major or higher will be fixed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Unit Tests ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Unit tests are executed during the nightly build of Eclipse Scout RT and Eclipse Scout SDK. The test suites contain simple unit tests as well as GUI tests. The latter are based on Scout's testing support bundles which is built on top of java.awt.Robot. Therefore our GUI tests require a fully-fledged desktop environment. The tests are currently executed on BSI's infrastructure.
