Upcoming Work

  • Top priority this week is getting M5 stable.
    • TM 2.0 M5 Testing
    • New build on I20070220-1126
      • New wizard problems fixed
      • Please test thoroughly today!
    • We'll have more I-builds at least once every day until M5. But lets find the issues first before we start fixing minor ones
    • Invest 2-3 hours of testing before starting the bugfix cycle
  • Current plan items and API things:
    • Changes in Platform M5 and M6:
      • Official API for ssh prefs
      • ssh now part of cvs feature
      • Helpserver changed, Userdocs not accessible right now; DaveD will check
    • (Bugzilla#173772) RSE New Connection Wizard Rework
    • 170909 (DaveD) User Actions & Import/Export
      • Attached on bugzilla; AI Martin will upload refactored version after M5
      • No need to rush anything into bugzilla, DaveD to work with Kushal on finishing the contribution
    • 170923 (DaveD) UI/Non-UI splitting
      • Preferences finished, these were the hardest; more stuff to do - DaveD really wants to get it done soon after M5
    • 170627 (DaveM) ISystemFilter in SystemViewElementAdapter.getChildren()
      • DaveM wants to get rid of the FilterString stuff in IRemoteFile now that IContextObject works
      • getImageDescriptor, getLabel should also get the context
      • more to do to get closer aligned with Platform (bugzilla bug exists)
    • 170922 (DaveM, Martin) Making as much as possible "internal": SystemView, SystemFilterReferenceAdapter, Subsystem Impls
      • What should be the recommended way of re-using existing subsystems against a new systemType
      • Registering FTP or ssh against Windows will not be case insensitive; roots, drives etc are all unix-style
      • DaveM: Dstore overrides SubSystemConfiguration for Windows in order to provide different filters etc; The SubsystemConfiguration defines the filters etc
      • If we make SubsystemConfiguration public, we'll also need to make stuff API that is being returned; probably make some methods final that return non-API interfaces
      • What people win: createDefaultFilterPools(), isCaseSensitive(), for UDA it might also be important
      • Decision: make the SubSystemConfigurations API again for M5, AI Martin make it API
      • Kushal: API Scanner? - Martin: too early to use yet, do it for M6
    • 170915 (DaveM) Getting rid of Platform "internal" access
      • AI Martin fix the ISV docs
    • 163820 (Kushal) Encodings
      • Test cases? Manual Tests?
    • 170916 (Kushal) EFS
      • Oliver Hardt looking at it; Kushal prepared Streams for ftp, ssh
      • Kushal trying to fix it for M5
    • Martin & DaveM work on EclipseCon tutorial: fix bugs as needed
      • AI Martin write bug for preselection
    • 170832 (Martin) Read-only setting on ssh - what about using EFS on the back-end? (dstore doesnt do streams)
      • AI Martin: timestamp, ro-flags still TBD for ssh
    • add unit tests for all new or modified API

Other Stuff to Do

  • Reduce number of plugins (once UI/Non-UI separation is done, have e.g. ssh.core and ssh.ui but not more)
    • Prerequisite: need to be able and disable registered stuff; TBD through Capabilities
    • Move org.eclipse.rse.connectorservice.local into org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.core
    • org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.core (collapse files.core, processes.core, shells.core)
    • org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.dstore (collapse files.dstore, processes.dstore, shells.dstore)
    • Have it split up now in order to allow people "get what they need"; and as an example for ISVs "here's how to do your processes" - having stuff bundled together gives people the impression that they can't change it
  • Add Montavista shell processes subsystem
    • Martin wants to put it into processes.core
    • DaveM: confusing for people who want to use it
    • Would it be better to have a Process Service to interface with the Shell Service rather than doing a subsystem --> Allows to take the ProcessServiceSubsystem and choose which service to use
    • Decision: Put it into its own plugin but part of the core feature for now, think about consolidating plugins in next iteration
  • Other stuff
    • Orbit bundles to be added differently
    • Unittests to run every night
    • AI Martin Version Number Changes in plugins and features - any more to do?
    • Copyright Year Changes

Communications

  • Europa Requirements
    • (done) TM 2.0 Ramp down Plan for Europa
    • (done) Update features and include the words "end-user" and "extender"
    • Avoiding non-API from other projects
      • AI Martin create bugzilla against CDT
    • Update Wiki to explan whether SDK contains examples --> AI Martin wait for Platform and adapt
  • For bugs, see the bug process page (assigned to inbox, plan items, status new, hi-priority, API, open with patch, assigned to M5) -- pretty many right now
  • Update Copyright Year to 2007 if you happen to think about it
  • (done) Fix N-builds (second workspace, use Ted's scripts)
  • Please continue on Compiler Warnings
  • Change Requests
  • Vacations, Holidays etc.
    • DaveM, MichaelS, Martin, Javier coming to EclipseCon - DaveM flying in Sunday afternoon, staying at the Hyatt;
      • AI Martin arrange a committer meeting in addition to the BoF
    • DaveD going to Florida in February for a week
  • Free discussion -- feelings, comments, critics
