WTP 2.0

• Build Status

• See David's note for detail, but we will declare M4 with our own patched JEM version for the January 4th Europa date.
• Component teams should be sniff testing and verifying defect fixes on the final build and component leads should vote thumbs up or thumbs down for M4 by end of day Thursday.

• Please perform two types of smoke tests:

• Zip File Test - please use the build from 2.0M4 Thu, 4 Jan 2007 -- 01:46 (UTC) with all the exact pre-reqs listed there (note, no JEM required, as we are now including a patched version for our M4).
• Update Site Test - install the Eclipse Base, and all the pre-reqs first (from zips), and with that as your starting IDE, define a new remote update site with a URL of http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/testUpdates/

• License file issue that prevents update manager from installing JPA SDK. Other JPA issue with property files may be passable for M4.
• Java EE found an issue with JEM reflection and Java5.
• Feedback from component teams is that the zip builds look okay, but seeing issues with update manager, xerces problem. Component teams will investigate known issues, finish sanity tests and send an email to wtp-releng by 5 pm EST with a thumbs up or thumbs down vote. We will make a call about a respin at that point if there are fixes in hand. If you do release a fix to the build, please also mention that to wtp-releng.
• Just a reminder, be aware a Java5 JRE is required for WTP 2.0.

We will still declare M4 on time if we can't resolve the update manager issues and will investigate fixing for next week's mass Europa update site organizing.

• Compatibility Tests for WTP 1.5 <--> WTP 2.0

Information on what to test and how to publish your compatibility test plans can be found here.

Only web services has entered this information, so we will start collecting status from each component next week.

A JUnit test is fine, but please explain what the JUnit does. These tests only need to be run during milestion test passes.

• Performance and API Tests

Need to investigate re-enabling these tests for M5. We will publish these results with every weekly declared build.

• Usage Reports

• The Adopter Usage Reports are posted for component owners...

• To ensure no one is using code they should not be using.
• To prioritize which code you plan to make API.

• The Extension Point Usage Reports are also posted. The instructions for adopters on how to contribute can be found here.

Rob F to follow up for BEA to contribute these reports.

• Stay tuned in M5 for automated test coverage report numbers based on using TPTP's line coverage analysis tools. Also investigating cross referencing the data from the usage reports to detail where test coverage must be improved.

Other business?

• Suggestion from Raghu - Use wiki to track and list any changes which go into the builds during shutdown phase.

• Java EE 5 Update - Chuck?

There is a wiki page established for people to follow along.

There are some open emf2xml bugs and patchs were submitted including test suites, which are being investigated. SAP proposed a model extension framework and there is a lot of interest in the emf2xml framework being expanded for the increasingly complex schemas.

• Website Update - Bob F - The WTP homepage and top level pages for sub projects will be checked in next week, so please take a look.
