Agenda

• walk through webtools 2.0 plan items
• overview bugzilla enhancement requests
• open session for requirements

Webtools 2.0 plan

David williams walking through the plan [1]

• plan will remain active
• we will mostly move to J2SE5 as execution environment
• by 2.0 the now incubating project will be graduated (JSF, JPA, ATF? Is not yet clear)
• JSF, JPA provide inroads to JEE5

Themes

• QUALITY is a major theme for 2.0 - not a lot of new features, but resolving major bugs
• Adopter readiness
  • JEE5 - SAP supplied a patch that just works
  • better componentization (make reuse of components easier)
  • improve API, extend official API
• USE the build infrastructure for Europa, called Orbit
• USE Deta for help content
• Move to DTP (from rdb)
• Make it pluggable - that others can provide implementations, but WTP does not have the capacity to provide all implementation ourselves

Kaloyan Raev:

• have submitted a patch - want to continue working on that and be involved in the discussion
• want to work on the models and would like to be involved in the discussions
• will supply a document that covers their vision of how to become involved

Tzanko Stefanov:

• also have implementations in the area of web services, that they are inclined to contribute to webtools
  • contributions for the 1.5 code stream
  • David Williams: We have a general theme that we only extend the 2.0 stream (not maintenance stream) - but will try to resolve this in further discussion

• investigate: import a JEE5 project (help wanted)
• investigate: export/publish a JEE5 project (help wanted)
• validate a JEE5 project (help wanted)
• JSR 181 (annotations for web services) - we won't add any specifics, but the annotation processor could handle that (Bob Fraser)

JPA / Dali

Neil Hauge walks through plan (plan on wiki has been updated before the meeting) [2]

• working on 1.0 as part of webtools 2.0

Themes:

• ecosystem integration (better integration platform, webtools, datatools, orm-xml) - 'in plan'
• extensibility (major focus for 1.0 - 'in plan')
• Rich UI support for JPA XML descriptor - 'in plan'
• usability: better validation, quick fixes, code assist 'some of that is not garantied, some depend on new features in JDT'

Wishlist vs. In plan (Bob Fraser) - see notes above in 'italic'

ATF

ATF requirements walkthrough by Geno [3]

• not yet clear whether ATF will exit incubation with WTP 2.0
• milestone2 planning:
  • try to improve javascript editing
  • porting jdt to a javascript development tools suite - code not yet available in CVS - get that into CVS hopefully soon
  • embedded mozilla browser (interesting new views, performance of existing, CSS tooling, DOM type ahead filtering)
  • improve install (today placeholder plugins - want to implement something similar to the wtp server adapters with automatic fetch)

overview bugzilla enhancement requests

• Bugzilla Enhancement requests with more than one vote
  • should be brought up the attention of the component leads

open session for requirements

Rob Frost:

• maven support - need BUG 128851 (could fall into Adopter readiness theme) - further discussion in wtp status meeting needed
