M2E-WTP Development Status Meeting
22/06/2012
General status
m2e-wtp's incubation is moving forward!
- The web site has been set up at https://www.eclipse.org/m2e-wtp/
- m2e-wtp's initial contribution has been greenlit by the IP Team to be uploaded to Eclipse's Git repository, under the parallel IP process.
- m2e-wtp integration tests code is available at github
- The issue tracker has been set up in Eclipse Bugzilla. There will be no issue migration from Sonatype's JIRA. All previous issues will need to be reopened manually in BZ.
- A #m2e-wtp IRC chat room is opened at freenode
- A mailing list for discussions about m2e-wtp developement has been set up.
Build infrastructure
- Due to the m2e-wtp test code not being part of m2e-wtp's initial contribution, m2e-wtp is not built using Eclipse.org's Build infrastructure (similar to m2e).
- Instead, Jenkins jobs have been set up under Red Hat's internal build farm.
- Currently, m2e-wtp compiles correctly against Helios, Indigo and Juno. Integration tests are run against Indigo.
- m2e-wtp is built continuously and CI builds are pushed to a public p2 repository hosted by jboss.org : http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/requirements/m2eclipse/m2e-wtp-indigo/
- Some tests fail randomly. We need to stabilize them and start from solid foundations before going forward
Backward compatibility
- IBM wishes to keep Helios backward compatibility. m2e-wtp currently compiles against Helios, but needs to be tested against it. However, its unlikely the existing tests will pass in Helios due to some slight changes in behaviour.
- IBM is willing to perform these backward compatibility tests on their infrastructure and eventually contribute patches back to m2e-wtp and m2e.
- not discussed : backward compatibility / coexistence with the current m2eclipse-wtp install base
Planning
- Our objective is to join the Juno SR1 release train on 28/09/2012.
- According to the Juno SR1 calendar, we should target RC1+3 and prepare readyness for wed. 22/08
- we'll work on a release plan (using m2e's release plan as an example),
- m2e-wtp 0.16.0 will focus on stabilization and its main new features will be around the Eclipse to Maven project conversion area (converts eclipse settings to their maven plugin counterpart)
