WTP Release Tasks

For each release of WTP, there are a few book keeping tasks unrelated to planning, development, and building, that also need tending to. They should be recorded here so they're not forgotten.

Tasks for annual releases

  • New Help for Old Friends page created
  • New and Noteworthy collected
  • Maintenance branch created and wtp-releng notified (with the newer build system, is this mandatory?)
  • Marketplace listing version created at https://marketplace.eclipse.org/user/nitind/listings (contact Nitin D. if you want edit privileges, but try to keep the mandatory features to a minimum)

Tasks for every release

  • Project Leads:
* Repositories tagged for the release
* Bugs triaged/retargeted out of the release
* Babel repo/branch set/updated for release
  • R-build GA'd on http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/, and email sent out declaring it
  • Front page and web site links updated in /common.php (linking to Java EE package page and release train update site)
  • WTP_FAQ installation instructions updated (add versions/numbers/update sites)
  • Marketplace listing version numbers updated at https://marketplace.eclipse.org/user/nitind/listings (contact Nitin D. if you want edit privileges, but try to keep the mandatory features to a minimum)
  • Release landing page created in /releases, what-is-fixed bug query included, and /releases/index.html updated
  • News feed entry published in news.xml
