DaveD 100% Persistence Improvements - really happy with interface now; thinks about properties to change the instanciation of the provider, e.g. in order to tailor it for storing in .metadata - Martin wants persistence to work without org.eclipse.core.resource if possible in order to fix EFS early startup 70%
DaveM 10% ISubSystem.connect() for EFS; Bugfixes 20%

Time Plan and Deadlines toward M7

  • Plan towards M7 - goals and deadlines for I-builds
    • I20070419 -- Fixes for localization enablement testing (BIDI, DBCS)
    • I20070426 -- Major breaking API changes (Martin: getSystemType(), getInstance(); UI/Non-UI; Persistence)
    • I20070503 -- Minor API changes - Final Feature Additions - Feature Freeze (Terminal integration; FTP Parser)
    • I20070510 -- Stabilization, start TM 2.0M7 Testing
    • I20070516 -- TM 2.0M7 (17th is a public holiday in Austria!)


  • Stability of this week's I-build for enablement testing is not too important --> Add importexport, useractions; DaveD to add persistence.
  • All committers are in favor of the persistence changes

Bugs and open work to be discussed

  • Current Priorities
    • Priority #1: Open Major Bugs - Copying issues, NPEs
    • Priority #2: EFS: Martin, done
      • Open Remote Project on Startup: Get rid of IResource dependencies where possible; minimal plugin activations; UI/Non-UI
      • Copy(), Move() operations;
    • Priority #3: Remaining API changes for Persistence, Refresh etc.
      • Mostly DaveD and Martin
      • 182454 - what is the meaning of ISystemViewElementAdapter.getAbsoluteName()
        • DaveM: Original intent was providing a unique ID similar to an URI - any object should be uniquely identifiable by a string.
        • Used by Drag&Drop for instance, to allow windows native dnd support with a "filename"; also copy&paste, memento
        • Should be enforced, null should not be allowed
        • Should be unique within a single subsystem (multiple subsystems can have different elements with same absolute name)
      • Javier: FTP parallel download, allowing to register directory listing parser by extension point
      • Useractions / Importexport: - AI Martin add to nightly builds; AI DaveD, Kushal persistence with User Actions; Dave working on API prerequisites now; AI DaveM Import/Export


  • General Guidelines
    • Avoid breaking API changes if possible (keep delegate methods, use deprecation)

Vacation, Away

  • Kushal out 1/2 day on Tuesday (during meeting time), another 1/2 day on Wed and full day on Thur
  • DaveD out on Friday 20th
