• Growing Communities: Robert Norton doing Launch Actions; Oliver Hardt doing EFS; 1245 downloads of RSE 1.0.1
• Getting the APIs right

Upcoming Work

• Top priority this week is getting API things done for M5. Plan items are currently more important than bug priorities.
  • (Bugzilla#173772) RSE New Connection Wizard Rework
    • 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).
    • Does any one has a problem with reworking newConnectionWizardDelegate extension point to be a newConnectionWizard extension point contributing a standard IWizard??
  • 173042 (Uwe) Improved / pluggable Refresh
  • 170909 (DaveD) User Actions & Import/Export
  • 170923 (DaveD) UI/Non-UI splitting
    • OK for martin to continue this work as outlined?
    • Be able to do ssh non-ui only? Would need an API for password / passphrase prompting in RSE core.
  • 170627 (DaveM) ISystemFilter in SystemViewElementAdapter.getChildren()
    • Tobias looking at a solution where SubSystem.resolveFilterString() returns wrapper objects which also hold a context
    • Doing this for Windriver now; looking at a solution that can be shared by RSE
  • 170922 (DaveM, Martin) Making as much as possible "internal": SystemView, SystemFilterReferenceAdapter, Subsystem Impls
    • AI: component owners to come up with a list by thursday!!
  • 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
  • 163820 (Kushal) Encodings
    • Test cases?
  • 170916 (Kushal) EFS
    • Oliver Hardt looking at it

  • 170832 (Martin) Read-only setting on ssh - what about using EFS on the back-end? (dstore doesnt do streams)
    • AI timestamp, ro-flags: still TBD for ssh and ftp
  • add unit tests for all new or modified API
