* '''Top priority''' this week is getting API things done for M5. Plan items are currently more important than bug priorities.
** Work started. Goal is to make the new connection wizard looking and behaving like standard Eclipse new, import or export wizards. This should and will include support of categories in the new connection dialog. Current newConnectionWizardDelegate extension point and implementation is duplicating more or less existing Eclipse wizard framework functionality (via WizardDialog.setWizard(...) and IWizardPage.getWizard()). Fallback to use as much of standard Eclipse interfaces and existing functionality as possible (IWizardNode, IWizardRegistry, IWizardDescription, IWizardCategory, WizardSelectionPage and related).

** [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=173042 173042] (Uwe) Improved / pluggable Refresh
 +
*** WR can't live with refresh throwing away children and showing "pending".
 +
*** Unaffected nodes need to remain; when only properties are changed, nodes need to remain;
 +
*** Subsystems need to be more responsible for the Refresh policy to accomplish this
 +

 +
*** Expect initial submission on ipzilla later today

 +
*** Concentrate on bringing .core in one place so it can be refactored later
 +
*** OK for martin to continue on the IConnectorService thing, it should be fairly straightforward and self-contained
 +
*** Anonymous login for ftp is also associated with this;
 +
*** Dave will keep in touch and continue working from Florida, though not full-time
 +
** [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=170627 170627] (DaveM) ISystemFilter in SystemViewElementAdapter.getChildren()
 +
*** Tobias looking at a solution where SubSystem.resolveFilterString() returns wrapper objects which also hold a context
 +
**** Problem: Selection etc. will return the wrapper object, and not the model object. Also, ISVs would contribute against model objects and not the wrapper
 +
**** Doing this for Windriver now; looking at a solution that can be shared by RSE
 +
*** Idea from DaveD: Intercept the expand event, and construct an object that contains Element + Context for the Content Provider
 +
**** Context for IRemoteFile is Subsystem + Filter + Parentnode
 +
**** Don't want multiple model objects for the same physical thing any more
 +
** [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/showdependencytree.cgi?id=170922 170922] (DaveM, Martin) Making as much as possible "internal": SystemView, SystemFilterReferenceAdapter, Subsystem Impls

*** DaveD: original idea of RSE was to make stuff convenient; now its good to make it internal
 +
*** AI: component owners to go ahead and make stuff internal
 +
** [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/showdependencytree.cgi?id=170915 170915] (DaveM) Getting rid of Platform "internal" access
 +
*** (done) popupMenus and propertyPages removed; need migration docs, for testAttribute; need to think about what to do with ISV docs
 +
**** DaveD: Our examples should be complete. We should improve the example to show the list of attributes we can check for through the IActionFilter
 +
**** DaveM: Create a new enhancement request for that; Martin to do it
 +
**** Also check Javadoc of ISystemViewElementAdapter, IRemoteFileAdapter
 +
** [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=170916 170916] (Kushal) EFS
 +
*** Oliver Hardt looking at it; Kushal to look at limiting API as next task, then do the Streams for IFileService;
 +
*** DaveM: DStore Streams API: While downloading a file, open a separate stream to look at it while downloading?
 +
** Martin & DaveM work on EclipseCon tutorial: fix bugs as needed
 +
** [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=170832 170832] (Martin) Read-only setting on ssh - what about using EFS on the back-end? (dstore doesnt do streams)
 +
*** AI timestamp, ro-flags: already done for FTP, still TBD for ssh

* '''Update Copyright Year to 2007 if you happen to think about it'''
** '''1. Make APIs usable for clients, harden the APIs, improve documentation'''
+
* Please continue on Compiler Warnings
*** '''Make stuff internal'''
+
**** SystemView, SystemFilterReferenceAdapter, Subsystem Impls
+
*** UI/Non-UI separation (Condition of Satisfaction: be able to do a headless launch; try to reduce number of plugins? - DaveM be able to use service layer without profiles, persistence etc.; DaveM could envision service layer as part of ECF or similar; put subsystem.files together with subsystem.files)
+
*** Be able to do ssh non-ui only? Would need an API for password / passphrase prompting in RSE core.
+
*** SystemType improvements; retargetable actions/commands;
+
*** timestamp, ro-flags: still TBD for ssh and ftp
+
*** Streams for IHostShell, IFileService - upload already allows an InputStream; download will need new API; may be a problem for dstore since the agent "pushes" the file; ftp allows canceling the download
+
*** Asynchronous API/callbacks; How is the client informed about job completion? Event? Callback? Progressmonitor? - Progressmonitor is created by the job typically, so we have no control over the progress [could use a SubProgressMonitor]? Use Java5 Concurrency classes?
+
*** IHostShell changes for Terminal;
+
** '''2. Make EFS work'''
+
*** Kushal looking at it - problem is the strictness of resource locking / scheduling rules
+
*** What about putting EFS directly on top of IFileService without using the cache? Might avoid scheduling rules; might require further extensions of IFileService
+
** '''3. Play well with the Platform'''
+
*** get rid of platform "internal" access; this may also mean getting rid of customized extension points for adding actions
+
*** retargetable actions/commands; capabilities; icu4j; Orbit; ssh prefs; drag&drop
+
** '''4. Improve overall quality (unit tests; special characters; long filenames; background jobs; parallel access; logging; ...)
+
** '''5. New Features'''
+
*** Import/Export & User actions; Terminal-in-rse; Persistence-as-xmlfile; Service enablement
+
* Think about '''limiting the API''': Make APIs internal along the way of updating documentation, and making Unit tests, we'll see some API we want "internal".
+
** 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)
+
* Add Montavista shell processes subsystem
+
* '''Fix N-builds''' (second workspace, use Ted's scripts)
+
** Orbit bundles to be added differently
+
** Unittests to run every night
+
** Version Number Changes to be done by Martin
+
** Copyright Year Changes
+
* '''Compiler Warnings'''
+
** Good progress, please continue. Most warnings are javadoc warnings now. See the [http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/development/committer_howto.php#check_code Committer Howto] for settings
+
*** 109 -> 113 -> 113 -> 3 connectorservice.dstore
+
*** 176 -> 265 -> 161 -> 12 rse.core
+
*** 474 -> 558 -> 558 -> 94 files.ui
+
*** 637 -> 662 -> 662 -> 23 services (javadoc)
+
*** 221 -> 250 -> 248 -> 27 subsystems.files.core
+
*** 1622 -> 346 -> 293 -> 192 rse.ui (mostly javadoc)
+
* '''Quality'''
+
** '''Docs are a high priority'''. Add ISV Javadoc where it is still missing or incorrect; review, and improve all docs
+
 
+
=== Communications ===
+
* 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
