Platform UI Git repos for 4.2/3.8
General Introduction
Important: After you install EGit, please refer to Platform-releng/Git Workflows for a description of our common git workflows. For Platform UI, that means setting the default Pull for your branch to do a rebase merge instead of a normal merge.
For all work, we use the UI and Runtime repos. Runtime has org.eclipse.core.tests.harness and the org.eclipse.core.expressions bundles and tests. UI has everything else.
- ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git
- ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.runtime.git
To clone the repositories anonymous use:
- http://anonymous@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git
- http://anonymous@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.runtime.git
Additionally, to present (for casual browsing) the repos using the handy Git wiki template:
eclipse.platform.ui.git (browse, stats, fork on OrionHub)
eclipse.platform.runtime.git (browse, stats, fork on OrionHub)
NOTE:
org.eclipse.test.performance will be in the releng repo, but for now you need it from :pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse path=org.eclipse.test.performance
For 4.2 work we are also responsible for:
- ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/e4/org.eclipse.e4.ui.git
- ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/e4/org.eclipse.e4.tools.git
- ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/e4/org.eclipse.e4.releng.git
Our Eclipse4/4.2 releng project at :pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse path=e4/releng is being decommissioned. Please don't use it.

Development in Juno
Development and maintenance branches to use
For eclipse.platform.ui.git:
Branch | Why |
---|---|
master | All Juno related work, both 4.2 and 3.8 that doesn't include the org.eclipse.ui.workbench. |
integration | This is the build integration branch for 4.2. Releasing for the build involves updating this branch to master. See Platform-releng/Git_Workflows#Contributing_to_a_build |
R3_development | Work that needs the 3.8 org.eclipse.ui.workbench. Juno related work that is not related to the org.eclipse.ui.workbench bundle should also be cherry-picked here. |
R3_integration | This is the build integration branch for the 3.8 builds. Releasing for the build involves updating this branch to R3_development. See Platform-releng/Git_Workflows#Contributing_to_a_build |
R3_7_maintenance | Our standard maintenance branch for 3.7.2/Indigo SR2 |
R4_1_maintenance | Work on fixes for 4.1.1/4.1.2 |
R3_6_maintenance | The maintenance branch for any 3.6.2+ contributions. |
R4_development | Don't commit to this branch, it has been deleted. |
For all other repositories:
Branch | Why |
---|---|
master | All Juno related work, both 4.2 and 3.8. |
R3_7_maintenance | Our standard maintenance branch for 3.7.1/Indigo SR1 |
Using git right now in eclipse.platform.ui.git - explanation
Right now our build dependencies are:
- 3.8 I build
- 4.2 I build picks up most content from 3.8
- e4 0.12 builds on top of 4.2 I build
Until this changes the nightly builds are still 3.8 builds, but are being done off of R3_development.
Our goal in Juno M2
The main focus our Platform UI's Juno development is 4.2. To that end, we expect to do most of our work on master. It will contain all of the Platform UI plugins as they were in 3.7 except for our forked compatibility layer, org.eclipse.ui.workbench. It will contain all of our Eclipse 4 UI plugins (Modeled Workbench, CSS Support, Eclipse4 Applications) as they were in 4.1. And it will contain the forked compatibility layer.
All work in Juno on any plugins that haven't been deliberately forked (and so far that short list only includes org.eclipse.ui.workbench) should happen in master. So working on JFace in 3.8/4.2 really means working on master.
Any work that needs to be done in the 3.8 org.eclipse.ui.workbench should be done in the R3_development branch. This will be created off of the R3_7 tag.
Platform UI plugins in 3.8
At the moment, 4.2 and 3.8 are separate streams, just as 3.7.x is. We need to cherry-pick changes for non-workbench plugins from master into R3_development so that the other plugins are up to date.
We'll re-visit this setup after 4.2 becomes the primary build.
Development in 3.7.1
All work on plugins for 3.7.1 should be done in the R3_7_maintenance branch off of tag R3_7. It has already been created.
