Discussions

• Intro

1st community meeting. 

• Project Update
  • 3rd party .jars Tigerstripe 3rd party jars

- During early discussions with Eclipse Legal, we floated a list of the 3rd party .jar files to be 
included in the Tigerstripe plugins. Only 2 were seen as potentially problematic.
 - Qdox is almost cleared.
 - Jaxen to be next.
AI: Eric to raised CQs for all of the required .jars that are not in the orbit plugin. 

• • Build status

- First build based on org.eclipse.tigerstripe namespace was run last night internally on build server
provided by Cisco. This is intended to push night builds onto the Eclipse drops dir when everything is ready.
Richard reported problems with the build. Eric to investigate.
This internal build allows to work in parallel until we get the "go ahead" from Eclipse Legal.

• Web content

Initial content was posted. Split between Tigerstripe web (http://www.eclipse.org/tigerstripe) and
Tigerstripe wiki (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tigerstripe). Most of the content to live on the Wiki as it is
quicker to Edit and keep up to date... at least once the Wiki syntax is understood :-).

• • Wiki/Tutorials

Richard has been migrating the content of the old http://www.tigerstripedev.net website, in particular, the
tutorial are being migrated. This is a tedious manual process... but it is happening.
Richard will hold off before posting the corresponding screenshot to avoid having to redo with the 
potentially different version from the first OS-based builds.

• • Use Cases

Steve to look into posting a Cisco use-case for Tigerstripe describing how Cisco uses Tigerstripe (
modeling, building, validation, generation driven by Maven). This is intended to illustrate how TS is
used.
