Registry

• registry notification changes are for post-3.3 (synchronous listeners)
• bug 185977 - InvalidRegistryObjectException thrown when refreshingPackages
• should we do this for 3.3? needs review

PermGen

• low memory dialog code is attached to bug
• still need to strenuously test the launcher args
• Oleg noticed a couple of times that a lot of handles are being created. Most of them are from semaphores and it happens during CVS-related activities. Will file bug report.

Code Cleanup

• if we come across code that we would like to clean up, don't release changes now. Create bug report, mark as 3.4, attach a patch.

Bug Reports

• discussed different ways to reduce bug count and deal with old bugs

Launcher

• minor bug when running from cygwin
• motif splash screen not centered - will not fix for rc2
• Main should consume -startup command-line arg

PDE/Build

• minor bug for rc2

Source Bundles

• Kim has been doing test builds with the source bundles from Orbit
• changes have been made in Orbit to produce source bundles

S390

• are the constants supposed to be upper or lower case?
• directory names should match constants and platform filter constants

@ symbol

• there is a bug if we have an @ in the bundle folder name
• not critical for 3.3
• @ is not valid for a bundle symbolic name
• they might be able to encode it as a work-around (maybe - although Tom says prob not...)
• add to README
