- Symbian - Javier Montalvo Orús
- Wind River - Martin Oberhuber
Agenda
- Our top goals
- Grow the Communities - active users and adopters --> tutorial, docs, mailinglist help
- Get the APIs Right --> enable public API discussion --> ISV docs, Wiki API discussion, [api] bugzilla's
- Get our Processes in place --> JUnit, nightly builds, infocenter, update site
- Latest News
- Martin -- Javier; Ericsson probably joining; PMC:Europa; ssh enhancements (pattern parsing)
- DKM: local pattern parsing also done on iSeries QShell; common preference page for patterns?
- DaveD -- Almost all docs links fixed; users can file bugs against docs now; now working on signon without password
- DKM: pathes too long for Windows (256 chars)
- MOB: take path components and use as prefix for keys, in order to collapse dir structure? - DD: already done partially. Change areas for team support and merging? - MO: If the contents is sorted, the areas of change will not overlap. DD to check possibility of collapsing
- DaveM -- Fixing bugs; will look at P1 bugs. MOB -- use Java Exception Breakpoints
- Kushal -- sick
- Javier -- Updates - catchup with everything
- Other News --
- Martin -- Javier; Ericsson probably joining; PMC:Europa; ssh enhancements (pattern parsing)
- Urgent work to do
- Bug Work
- bugs 149186 still open, 149133 reopened, 148981 easily reproducable
- Please try a bit harder to reproduce problems, and verify fixes
- Kushal where are your checkins?
- Kushal why are your bugs still in "NEW" state?
- We should be accountable and honest: things we have promised should be kept. It is ok that we are not able to keep something
- You can now assign back to dsdp.tm.rse-inbox@eclipse.org
- Open bugs: Open with Patch, P1 bugs, API bugs, P1, P2 bugs
- API Things
- Parallel Services --> see RSE API Discussion, Meeting 19-Jul-2006 Notes. We might need to support parallel access in the services, because clients can request the service UI-Less and make requests in arbitrary parallel threads
- Javier: use java 1.5 util.concurrent? - Better stay with 1.4 for now.
- MOB to implement a queue for ssh
- Get rid of service calls on UI thread
- Other "Big Rock" API issues
- Making stuff internal: EFS, Service and Subsystem implementations, what else? -- DD to compile a list of suggestions
- Make all framework external, all implementation internal. It doesnt make sense to derive from an implementation in order to create a modified implementation. Make FTP, ssh, local internal; Have a closer look at dstore since it is designed to be extendible.
- What about things in the Platform? E.g. Extension-point rseConfigDefaults vs. plugin_customization.ini
- Kushal to review, remove if possible.
- Create a list of potentially obsolete things on the RSE 2.0 Planning page.
- Parallel Services --> see RSE API Discussion, Meeting 19-Jul-2006 Notes. We might need to support parallel access in the services, because clients can request the service UI-Less and make requests in arbitrary parallel threads
- Legal: JUnit (Some IBM signoffs needed, but not too hard); Jakarta-commons (TBD aug.24 latest)
- Windriver has submitted the terminalview; to be refactored and hooked up with IShellService
- DKM: are IShellService streams sufficient? Its a tty after all
- Bug Work
- Other items
- Keeping Tutorial up-to-date vs. review at the end of the release process
- Javier & Martin Fixing things in RSE -- e.g. casts and deprecated implementations -- what process to use?
- Subscribe to dsdp-tm-cvs-commit@eclipse.org
- [1]
- Mark minor changes as [cleanup] in the commit comment
- Review changes on the changelog
- e.g. ISubSystem.setVendorAttribute() vs. SubSystem.setVendorAttribute()
- e.g. RemoteCommandHelpers:93, IRemoteCmdSubSystem cmdSubSystem = (RemoteCmdSubSystem)sses[i]
- e.g. SubSystem.getRemoteAttribute() used by RemoteCmdSubSystem
- decide about deprecated for M5
- e.g. SubsystemConfiguration vs. SubSystemConfiguration
- e.g. unnecessary checks: if (x instanceof X && x!=null)
- e.g. adding documentation to interfaces
- Documentation being repeated in the abstract superclass impl of the interface: put correct docs into the interface, and have the abstract class just refer to the interface with @see
- e.g. adding //$NON-NLS-1$ for Strings that are clearly not to be translated
- DONT do that for example code
- Subscribe to dsdp-tm-cvs-commit@eclipse.org
- Please focus on "big rocks" (hi-pri bugs)
- Manual test plans - in work by Martin
- EFS feature, Examples feature to be created by Martin
- Free discussion -- feelings, comments, critics
- Move M4 ? Not if we are able to make the P1, P2 things and most [api] things
- Try to keep current, and see how we're getting along. If it turns out we have too many big things after I-build, we'll move by another week
- Javier still talking with Scott Lewis -- Javier to talk to him again once SD is integrated with Eclipse
- Javier on holiday till September
