Minutes

• Very little response to suggestion of p2 gathering, so we won't bother
• URI integration
  • Everything updated except p2 UI due to branch work going on
  • All tests pass, added some tests for repositories with spaces in paths
• UI branch integration
  • Going through manual tests today
  • Still waiting on changes in Platform UI Help>About
  • May add a new menu item for exposing new work without disrupting existing Help>About
• PDE UI support for patching
  • Currently blocked on an NPE that we don't understand the cause of
  • Some complex multi-patch scenarios that cause conflicts that haven't been pinned down
  • Otherwise on track to release for tomorrow's I-build
  • Next looking at p2 for target platform provisioning
• Jed's patches
  • Pretty busy until M3
  • Some time allotted between now and M3 for submitting some patches
  • After M3 should be in a position to make a more concerted effort to get patches contributed
• PDE build integration with p2
  • Want to start using Bundle-Shape manifest header
  • Currently we infer bundle shape from whether '.' is on the classpath
  • How do we handle conflicts between Bundle-Shape header and feature attribute
• Integration of Apache client
  • Those who have installed it have reported success in cases that failed before
  • No reporting so far of it making anything worse
  • Would like to widen user base to validate that this is the way to go
  • Will raise issue with PMC this week
    • There are other potential users of HTTP client in the platform, so need to figure out what feature it lives in
  • ECF looking at new httpcore API
