Review of Last Meeting
- Architecture Council/Meetings/December 11 2014
- Still open items moved to #Action_Items
EclipseCon 2015 F2F Meeting
- Neither Martin nor David will be at EclipseCon; PC didn't feel like they needed a meeting
- AI Wayne to verify if he could take on a joint meeting (within next day) -- would need to sort out the time with Bootcamp, Breakfast might work
- Attendees (for Sunday Afternoon): Maximilian, Jonas - Sunday Evening would probably work best
- Wayne to make a doodle poll and announce on the Mailing List ; Goals / Agenda Items
Michael: Editor Config File for tabs and spaces config in a project (single setup across IDE's)
- Single-page website (See EditorConfig - supported by many IDE's but not (yet) Eclipse. The bugzilla entry is 457046.
- AI Michael Create a bug against Platform/Text for further discussion -- seems related to .doap files as mentioned by Alex Kurtakov on the Eclipse/PMC meeting December 10, 2014 (used by Apache and GNOME projects)
Wayne: Platform Vision Work
- With the arrival of Che there's a bit of a shake in the IDE space
- Eclipse for the next 3 years - still viable for the foreseeable future; freedom to choose desktop or web, many different configurations
- More focus on User Experience - was focused on enabling extenders in the past, looking at User Experience now
- Wayne pushing on related bugs - for example consistency of feature names and categories; Installer; Line numbers on by default...
- Eike: There's a couple long-standing bugs that make using Eclipse annoying (for example: changing a file while a builder is running makes the user wait and not the builder wait...)
- Wayne's initial focus is on the little thing - make more sense to the user (including the website - should be really easy to download, install and start using) - incrementally increase the coolness factor and attract more contributors
- EMO looking at new, innovative and clever ways bringing in more resources
- Marcel - Website Feedback: There's no big menu listing the features available in the IDE... (Compare with IntelliJ website - a comprehensive feature set on 1 page that gets updated with every release) - AI Marcel open a bug against AC
- Michael - WebStorm has a 1-hour walk through all the features - very helpful to understand what is possible even if Workflows are complex ; question how to apply to plugin model (Finding or installing a plugin is easy with Webstorm)
Eike: Getting Oomph into the EPP packages
- Joining the Release Train for Mars; not sure at what pace Markus wants to go
- Oomph Installer (standalone app for bootstrapping, that's different than what's considered for the packages) - discussion about using this as a prominent (or the main) download for Eclipse
- Spent the last 3 weeks coming up with a "simple mode" for the installer (just 2 pages) - already available from the Oomph Download Page - Wayne would like to have it on the Download Page until M5 early Feb
- Missing automatic detection and configuration of the JRE for now (not a must-have for M5)
- Product Catalog is currently auto-generated from the EPP Repo and the Release Train Repos
- Enhancement Request is open for linking the Authoring Tools to the Marketplace
- Spent the last 3 weeks coming up with a "simple mode" for the installer (just 2 pages) - already available from the Oomph Download Page - Wayne would like to have it on the Download Page until M5 early Feb
- The runtime part (in the EPP Packages) is mostly for managing Preferences across multiple workspaces
- Some functional overlap with Workspace Mechanic, but designed to be simpler
bug 456947 JGit vulnerability
- PC Looking at patched simrel repo and new EPP packages to address the vulnerability
