Review of Last Meeting

New Topics

  • Welcome new AC members
  • Wayne: bug 441637 Maven Repo organization for LocationTech (Guest Speaker: Jody Garnett)

Denis: departure of Thanh Ha, release engineer

  • 1.5 more weeks to wrap up at Eclipse.org
  • DavidW: Might encourage Thanh to send out a "goodbye message" himself
  • Martin: Might combine such a message with a call to the Community for joining some "learning experience" with Thanh ... perhaps like a "CBI seminar" ?
    • AI Denis good idea, think about drafting a message
  • Good news is that CBI is in a MUCH better state now than before Thanh joined ... basically it "just works" now
  • Denis: CBI is a real project, there's also a mailing list...

Marcel: capturing stack traces

  • Calling Home policy, send stack traces automatically proposed on cross-project and epp-dev mailing lists
  • Maybe anonymize stack traces ... could this be integrated into Mars milestone builds
  • Wayne: involves some investment in resources... would be a waste if wouldn't be used, thus request general buy-in from the AC
    • Multiple stages: (1) buy-in, (2) legal review, (3) roll out for simrel train ASAP eg M2, (4) around M5 look back about whether it was useful
  • Marcel: Log Listener in errorlog view; any backtraces from org.eclipse sent to a vserver
    • Tom: This would not be in Platform, but on top of the Platform (EPP)
  • Martin: Sounds very valuable, and nicely complements the Eclipse Platform Plan item Surface more options on the Tracing preference page plan item
  • David W: Sounds like a very valuable tool even if only for committers
  • David Williams: UDC created tons of data but had no way analyzing it .. is the analysis part figured out ?
    • Marcel: Look for (plugin|errorcode) combinations that occur often, but such analysis will be manual work (on behalf of Marcel, eg send E-Mails)


  • RESOLUTION Wayne happy to move forward, taking the next step with Legal
  • Marcel: Where to report progress ?
    • Wayne: cross-project would have the broadest audience.
