+
 
+
== Target Environment  ==
+
 
+
=== JRE  ===
+
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. The Scout 3.10 release of is still compatible with Java SE 6. Most users of Scout, however, will probably want to run their project with the most curent version of Java 7. Support for Java 8 is still experimental at the moment.

=== Eclipse Platform  ===
+
For the Luna release of Scout we recommend developing Scout with eclipse Luna (4.4) and using Eclipse 3.8 as a target platform. Scout is still using the compatibility layer for the eclipse 3.x stream.
+
(See [[Scout/Targets]] for more detail).
+
 
+
The following Eclipse platforms are supported:

=== RAP Version  ===
+
Eclipse Scout and [http://eclipse.org/rap/ RAP] are participating in the Simultaneous Release and therefore needs to support RAP 2.3.0. (see [http://projects.eclipse.org/projects/rt.rap/releases/2.3.0 Luna Projects]). 2.2.0 and 2.3.0 are binary compatible according to [http://projects.eclipse.org/projects/rt.rap/releases/2.3.0]

+

=== Browser Versions  ===
+
The web UI for Scout is based on [http://eclipse.org/rap/ RAP] (Version 2.2) and therefore only supports the browser version supported by RAP:
+
 
+
* Microsoft Internet Explorer 9
+
* Google Chrome 7+
+
* Firefox 9+
+
* Safari 5+
+
* Android 3 (Limited)
+
 
+
=== Tested Platforms  ===
+
We focus our testing on a handful of popular combinations (OS, HW Arch, Java VM, Eclipse platform); these are our reference platforms. Scout undoubtedly runs fine in many operating environments beyond the reference platforms we test. However, since we do not systematically test them we cannot vouch for them. Problems encountered when running Scout on a non-reference platform that cannot be recreated on any reference platform will be given lower priority than problems with running Scout on a reference platform.
+
 
+
Scout 3.10 will be tested and validated on the following reference platforms:

== Compatibility with Previous Releases ==
+
 
+
'''Scout RT 3.10''' will NOT be compatible with Scout 3.9. How to migrate from 3.9 to 3.10 is described in [[Scout/Migration/3.10]].
+
 
+
We try to make migration to new releases as easy as possible, however to keep our code clean and simple we need to change the API in new releases. There are no more API changes after milestone M6.
+
API Compatibility rules are described in the [[Scout/Coding_Guidelines|coding guidelines]] in more detail.
+
 
+
'''Scout SDK 3.10''' will NOT be compatible with Scout SDK 3.9. Currently, the Scout SDK API is not yet used frequently.
+
 
+
== End-of-Life ==
+
Some functionality will be dropped completely with Scout 3.10. We suppose this won't be an issue for most Scout projects.
+
 
+
* '''Eclipse Versions:''' The following eclipse versions that where previously supported or partially supported, are not supported anymore
+
** Scout RT: 3.4,3.5,4.2,4.3
+
** Scout SDK: 3.7
+
* '''Rap Versions:''' RAP 1.5 is not supported anymore, the current RAP version is 2.2
+
* '''Legacy Texts:''' The fragment org.eclipse.scout.rt.shared.legacy.texts.fragment will be removed
+
 
+
== 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.
+
 
+
== Build Process ==
+
* [https://hudson.eclipse.org/scout/ Scout Hudson @ Eclipse]
+
 
+
{{note|TODO}}
+
 
+
== Unit Tests ==
+
 
+
{{note|TODO}}
+
 
+
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.

+
== Current Project Metrics ==
