3.3 RC3

• resolver
  • Tom looking at a resolver performance regression
  • either 3.3 or 3.3.1. Tom would like to put into 3.3

• osgi.services/util and source
  • Kim is investigating this

• compiling with optional pre-reqs
  • not for 3.3

• s390 source
  • small change needs to be done

• linux/motif crashes in certain cases
  • SWT is looking into it

• harmony vm
  • just started looking at it
  • not for 3.3

• permgen
  • certain configurations of command-line args don't work if the numbers are too big
  • Oleg to investigate
  • might have to change the defaults in the eclipse.ini
  • pascal to experiment with europa
    • Results with Europa RC1: 97M of perm gen used after all views and perspectives have been opened. Nothing interesting done. After the creation of a few projects (ejb, reporting, java, static web tools and a few others) I reached 143M, and I have not opened any editor (maybe except java). Therefore we can not reduce it to 128M. I'm tempted to leave it to 256M as it is now.

• • need to test machines with different amounts of memory as well

• doc
  • the build next Friday is RC4 and is the last scheduled build for 3.3
  • if things are slowing down for RC3 then we need to hit the doc now

• pde/build fixes for 3.3
  • one message related bug
  • adding to the state multiple times
  • generated build.xml - plugins already fixed, need to make same change to feature
  • finding features from platform.xml - need to decide if this is really for 3.3

• constants
  • the os/arch constants in the Platform class are outdated
  • we don't have os versions, do we need them?

Other

• registry and singleton bundles

• dynamic
  • we have bundles which say they are dynamic but are lacking in test cases
  • inevitably things get introduced which break people but they aren't caught

• website
  • we need to update the website with doc, etc
