Announcements And Reports

  • Europa Simultaneous Release on Friday, 2/29!


Focus on Backlog and Quality metrics (Neil)

Current Focus Item
  • Options are
  • Target bug for a release or "future"
  • Mark as Invalid or Wont Fix
Minutes: Note sent to Kate Price (Documentation) (current leader at 6 ... though seveal 5s too)
Upcoming Focus Item
Past Focus Items
  • Invalid - Enhancement does not fit with the scope of the project or is already implemented.
  • helpwanted keyword - This is a valid request, but due to committer resources and other priorities, outside help will be needed to make this happen.
  • Future - I would use this in conjunction with the helpwanted keyword. I use this for legitimate requests that are important but will not make any planned release, but likely will make a future release.
  • Before July 1st, 2007 - 21
Where did they all go?

  • Minutes:

Performance Focus (Kaloyan)

Some (possible) progress on debugging the problem with running the tests. Seems related to org.eclipse.test.performance

We'll begin having weekly performance section to review tests and test results.

Kaloyan: We have identified that changes made in bug 201469 could be a potential reason for the Derby error:

ERROR 42Y07: Schema 'GUEST' does not exist

The changes in the bug are about improving performance, but they also affect the org.eclipse.test.internal.performance.db.DB class and if we compare between revisions 1.68 and 1.70 we could see that the changes deal with some user and password settings. Now it is not clear what should be changed in the WTP perf tests setup to comply with this change. May be setting some user and password for Derby?!

API Tools/Scans

Current ones will be ending soon. Kaloyan volunteered to explore the new Platform API tools, to make recommendations to WTP or build process.

Kaloyan: I have started exploring and evaluating the Api Tooling project. It is planned to become part of Eclipse 3.4 by the end of M6. Now it is available only by checking it out from CVS.

Project overview: http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDE_UI_Incubator_ApiTools

The Api Tooling supports profiles. I need to check if this can correspond to our adopter usage reports.

There are also Batch mode tools: Binary Compatibility Reporting and API Usage Reporting, but I am still in progress to find out how to run them.

Other business?

Any questions? Objections?
No objections ... committers reminded to stay familiar with it, as it documents "permissible changes" and other processes.
  • Do we still need component.xml files? (from the platform)
None known.
  • Are there volunteers to explore (and make recommendations on) the Platforms new API tools?
Kaloyan will look into them.
  • David: we need to change how we generate our javadoc in the build -- project by project, or component by component.
Tim has volunteered to do something for the server project, and recommend to others (might check with Nick Bolt on this).
  • We will be changing the way we generate source features/plugins
See bug 132094 for details, implications, and links to more info.
  • Design meetings ... are they happening?
JSF-SSE-Validation? (Nitin will follow up).
JSDT-Facets? (Brad thought would still be worth while, perhaps walk through of current design/behavior).
  • Introductions: Philippe introduced himself (as new lead of ATF Project). Gave brief description of current dependencies (core, server, sse) and plans related to WTP (esp. WYSIWYG editor).
  • Brief discussion of broken link on WTP page ... turned out to be a bad URL in our project metadata.
And mentioned Helen will be tracking down other broken links :)

Teams Status and Focus for Coming Week

Source Editing

  • Ongoing triaging of incoming bug reports
  • Working on updating bug backlogs
  • Working on 3.0 requirement for more configurable XML and HTML formatting (95091,194698)

Server Tools

Web Services/WSDL

  1. Ongoing triage of incoming and existing bugs/RFEs.
  2. Fixing bugs and implementing RFEs.
  3. Planning for M6.

Java EE

Dali JPT

  • JPT 2.0
    • New model/UI code is in last weeks I-Build
    • Working on:
      • Persistence.xml editor
      • Java to JPA project conversion
      • EclipseLink support

JSF

  • Planning for M3
  • Property Editor prototype
  • JSPX support investigation
  • XHTML support investigation

releng

  • will soon remove wst common ui properties. See bug 131862.
  • will soon start signing all jars. Teams will have to be on the look out for performance problems, in M6. If any, it would effect those cases where custom class loaders are used, as that might result in repeated class

verification.

References

  • Branching Strategy
In general, the minimum is if you branch a plug-in to branch all the plug-ins in the corresponding map file. It is fine to branch everything if you choose as well. We may need to reorganize map files slightly and we can investigate that on a case by case basis. This is intended to be a living document and open to evolutions and improvements.
