WTP 3.3.0

  • No build to declare this week ... planning week.

Planning

  • Project Leads: See subproject plan documents under standard-project-plans\indigo\
  • Tip while writing Planning document: be sure to use '&' in place of merely '&' in URL queries
  • Initial Planning document by M2
  • Iterate/Review plans by M3
  • Final Plans by M4


Themes

  • improve Java EE 6 support
  • e4 (Eclipse 4.1) tolerance (no exploitation of non compatible function planned)
  • Objective is to work with both Platform 3.7 and 4.1 (with only one set of compiled code ... compiled against 3.7)
See briefest Eclipse 4.0 intro. One thing I forgot there, was a pointer to e4-dev mailing list ... that's were Eclipse 4.0 builds are currently discussed, announced (in addition to e4-only topics).


Other Candidate Themes?

Anyone interested in these? Resources available? Do they cross projects, or just enhancement to one or two?

  • Maven enablement support (at least make more friendly for maven users, if not direct support)
  • OSGi enterprise support
  • Any items from "top 10" list of problems to focus on. deadlocks? performance? modularity? api? test coverage?
  • ... ?

Schedule

8/13 WTP M1

9/24 WTP M2

11/4 WTP M3

12/10 WTP M4

Other business

  • no meetings for next two weeks?
yes. Next status meeting Thursday 1/6/2011
  • no declared builds for next two weeks?
yes, no declared builds until 1/6. Builds will continue. Please keep them clean.

References

  1. Hotbug Policy
  2. Our plan dates are on 'Friday' of the week. But, we produce and test the build on Thursday of the week, and ideally declare on Thursday. The dates in the Google Web Tools group calendar are for 'Thursdays' since that's a calendar for committers. We give ourselves the buffer to Friday, as our "public" date, that others can pick up our build, just in case a regression is found on Thursday and we have to respin and retest. [Technically, some might say, we still have till the following Tuesday or Wednesday for some "Simultaneous Release" due dates ... but it's hard to do much in that window, without disrupting everyone ... so we'll not use that buffer, except for the worst emergencies.]
