I-Build Test Update Site

• test update site is deleted every couple of days
• this is because of disk space on the test machine
• can we change the retention policy?
• currently a cron job that deletes the directory
• can the garbage collector help us here?
• not yet... API is artifact repo and a set of keys
• this is a general problem that others will have
• ask Kim if nightly builds are stored in the update site?
• can we always only have the most recent one there?
• can we have a separate directory for each build?
• need to talk to Kim about this

Launcher

• released win32 ia64 port for the launcher

PDE/Build

• working on PDE/Build and p2 metadata generator integration

Individual Source Bundles

• test build was done
• looks good
• a few minor changes that we still have to make
• would like to release for M4
• waiting on PDE/UI to release some changes
• looking at Orbit source bundles
• might not have to change Orbit bundles for M4

API Tooling

• continued progress being made
• adding javadoc tags for identifying behavior (not to be implemented by clients, etc)
• would like to deliver markers inside the IDE
• will make the component.xml obsolete once javadoc is all updated
