Dali Meeting Minutes/Minutes20100621

Dali Indigo (3.0) Planning Meeting

June 21st, 2010 14:00 UTC

Attendees: Neil, Karen, Shaun, Paul, Brian, Tran, Nan

Agenda

  • Retrospective
  • Determine themes for Dali Indigo release
  • Prioritize features in the various themes
  • Discuss any new enhancement requests
  • Ad-hoc items


Retrospective

  • Good
    • Scrapped the mid year release, which allowed more complete JPA 2.0 support to be delivered
    • Model is holding up fairly well to new platforms and spec versions
    • Looking at EclipseLink test models to find corner cases
    • Perhaps EL should link to related test model from bug or wiki spec
  • Bad
    • Translators continue to be problematic, but saw some incremental improvements this year
    • More wiki specs would be helpful, where description in the bug isn’t sufficient
    • More involvement with review on EclipseLink features
    • Should join the spec committee from tooling side
    • Eclipse infrastructure continues to be slow, but manageable
    • Builds - Full WTP build still fails too often, and is slow.
    • One option is to move to independent Hudson


Themes

  • Core enhancements
    • Improved validation
    • JDT refactoring participation
    • Facet/Project creation
    • JPQL Code Completion
  • JAXB/O-X Mapping support
  • EclipseLink Indigo support
  • Usability
    • Large project support
    • Quick Fixes


Challenges

  • Complex JPA 2.0 concepts mixed with:
    • Multi-version
    • Multi-platform
    • Multiple metadata sources
    • Extensible

Priorities

  • JAXB/MOXY - 1
  • EclipseLink mapping file overrides - 1
  • Improved validation - 1
  • JDT refactoring participation (basic cases) – 1

  • Utility Facet Removal/Project creation /OSGi/Maven - 1
  • Facet Installation – how can we improve this
  • Concurrency issues (Brian’s work) - 1
  • Internal XML persistence (Sapphire/EMF Store/Translators) - 2
  • EclipseLink native support - 2
  • JPQL code completion / query editor / validation – 2
  • Run JPQL queries - 3
  • Remaining JPA 2.0 functionality
    • ElementCollection - 1
    • Embeddable access type – 2
    • Others - 2
  • Multiple PU support (still low priority) - 3
  • Cross project persistence unit - 2
  • Tabbed properties integration - 3
  • Entity diagram editor - 1
  • Package level annotations - 1
  • Contributing target bundles into JEE package (EclipseLink) - 1


New requirements

  • JAXB/MOXY support


Feature backlog


Contributions

  • Entity Diagram Editor (SAP)
  • Package-level annotation support(JBoss)

Notes

  • Participation in JPA spec, is this helpful?
    • Seems this would be nice at least as a way to get deeper understanding of feature set
    • Would also be able to provide feedback directly into the committee
    • Let’s try to get someone on the spec committee for next spec revision
  • Perspective vs views…perhaps we should be asking if we should add our views to the current perspective.
