Other Stuff to Do
- 1. API Improvements
- SystemType improvements; retargetable actions/commands;
- Asynchronous API/callbacks; How is the client informed about job completion?
- IHostShell changes for Terminal;
- 2. Play well with the Platform
- retargetable actions/commands; capabilities; icu4j; Orbit; ssh prefs; drag&drop
- 3. Improve overall quality (unit tests; special characters; long filenames; background jobs; parallel access; logging; ...)
- 4. New Features
- Terminal-in-rse; Persistence-as-xmlfile; Service enablement
- Remove RSE Performance Logging; place contents of logging into core
- Reduce number of plugins (once UI/Non-UI separation is done, have e.g. ssh.core and ssh.ui but not more)
- 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.dsore, shells.dstore)
- 1. API Improvements
- Add Montavista shell processes subsystem
- Orbit bundles to be added differently
- Unittests to run every night
- Version Number Changes to be done by Martin
- Copyright Year Changes
- General code cleanup -- to do right after M4:
- Get rid of unused icons, e.g. rse.ui/icons/full/obj16/system390_obj.gif, IBM_logo.gif
- Get rid of commented out source code
- Get rid of unused properties (chkpii)
Communications
- Europa Requirements
- Avoiding non-API from other projects
- AI create bugzilla against CDT
- Update Wiki to explan whether SDK contains examples --> AI Martin wait for Platform and adapt
- Avoiding non-API from other projects
