Reviewed important dates

Kepler / Luna issue

  • Reviewed important p2 bug bug 427148
    • This is a serious problem for Luna, Tycho creates a new EXE each time, and EPP Uses tycho.
    • Why is this not a problem for the platform build? (could be the way EPP Does branding)
    • We don't really have a solution here. It's not clear this has ever worked, but maybe we have just been lucky. This doesn't appear to be a problem for SR2, having said that, some people (Namely David) have seen it. Not much we can do now for Kepler anyways.

Maven Discussion

  • Should we / can we push all our stuff to maven
  • How do we push dependencies
  • Can we use stuff from Maven, why not? (Legally)
    • We should be doing this. If someone really wants to push on this, get in touch with Wayne and start putting together a proposal

Luna Planning

  • Nothing really to discuss

Progress on Action Items

  • Improved "aggregator examples/doc". (dw -- no progress).
  • Orbit plan
    • Wayne says that Maven is the answer going forward, no real update at this time.

Rolling Release

  • Should we have several streams
  • Should we remove the notion of 'service releases'?
    • We call Sept and Feb releases SR releases. But in reality they are Eclipse Platform SR releases, with some other components that may be or may not be more stable than the previous version.
    • Marcel (Actually, this was mentioned in the AC meeting, but I'll add it here) wanted to put Code Recommenders 2.0 in SR2 but didn't because he wasn't really allowed. However, others have done this type of thing. Are we fooling ourselves? Are we fooling our users? Can we have 3 releases points a year and the projects can contribute whatever they want (as long as the aggregator doesn't object)? Again, if anyone really wants to do this, we need to start with a concrete proposal.
  • Should we stop the release and go with 'Mars forever'!
    • If we did this, what would we call it?
    • Does it still make sense to have a single name for the Year (Mars, Mars 1 and Mars 2)
    • John mentioned that Ubuntu has a good version number XX.MM, so for us that would be Eclipse 14.6 (June 2014), Eclipse 14.9 (Sept 2014), Eclipse 15.2
