Upcoming Work

  • Top priority this week is getting started with the "big rocks" in bugzilla, for RSE 2.0 Planning
    • add unit tests for all new or modified API
    • document API changes:
      • ALL API changes need to have an associate bugzilla item tagged with [api]
      • At time of API freeze, we will search all [api] bugs and generate migration docs (manually out of them)
      • When making an API change, not only look at the code but also look at ISV docs
        • Text search for package names or class names
        • Usually javadoc is sufficient - there are rare cases where overview is affected as well
  • RSE 2.0 Planning
    • Plan not made yet, but looks like everyone is working on proper items already. Martin to finish plan items this week
  • Think about limiting the API: Make APIs internal along the way of updating documentation, and making Unit tests, we'll see some API we want "internal".
    • DaveD: Is there a tool that looks for cycles in package reference graph?
    • Michael: Lattix - shows dependencies as a matrix
    • Martin: API Scanner from the WTP project
