• Europa To Do's

• Ensure all plugin manifests have execution environments specified - David will verify this is done for RC0.
• Use signed plugin jars - This is not a requirement anymore, are we still going to do for WTP 2.0?
• Each component must run the eclipse copyright tool to ensure all files have a proper copyright. JSF done. J2EE no update.
• Component Leads - Please update the exception section of the WTP 2.0 Europa Ramp Down Plan with the relevant info and bugzilla numbers for exceptions to M6 feature complete.
• Updates to feature.xml's to pull in required dependencies on update site and for more fine grained EMF features. David to release for RC0.
• WTP 2.0 API Delta - Component leads please provide a a summary of API changes between WTP 1.5 and 2.0 for your component. This is due by June 6th for the release review meeting.

• Build Status

JUnits all passing! One more respin tonight to get updates to feature.xml's but teams should start smoke testing.

Ready to declare? Please use the wiki status to declare readiness to declare RC0

Update site - David?

Website news update? Bob F will update and add new and noteworthy link when we declare tommorrow

• Function and Compatibility Tests

You can store your tests plans here. You are encouraged to ask the community for help!

Remember to also be testing with many Europa components installed like BIRT or TPTP to ensure compatibility.

• RC0 New and Noteworthy - See Nitin's email or bug 186461 for more information.

• PMC Review - One vote required, i.e. "tentative approval" on website

WTP 2.0 PMC Bugs for Approval Page

PMC members remember to use the flags instead of the +1 comment!

• API Violations Review -

Raghu to investigate JSF ones. JSF numbers are significantly reduced. For remaining items, JSF will open bugs or API request bugs on dependencies.

Cannot underestimate the importance of this in the stability and quality of WTP as a platform. These numbers are embarrassingly high. Each component needs to really get someone focused each week on improving these numbers and opening API requests.

• Tweaking the Access Rules for WTP
• Current 2.0 API Violations

Action 1 = For any violation, open a bug to request API or fix code to not use internal discouraged access. An example is using images or labels from other plugins, these should be copied into your plugin. Also, using internal classes instead of the API interfaces.

Action 2 = If you do have a clean plugin of API violations/discourage access, switch prereq ranges wide so you can react to small version number changes without issue.

Action 3 = To be able to develop with discouraged access enabled, we need to update plugin's .classpath rules. Should we turn off defaults to expose all warnings to get a quicker resolution?

Working Groups

• Java EE 5 - Servlet 2.5 and most scenarios working. Raghu reporting problems running UC1B and UC2B. Chuck to investigate.

JEE5 Test Scenarios

When opening related defects, add "JEE5-UC" in the Status Whiteboard

• Website

Bob F - Pheonix enabled people pages looking good, working on tutorials and bugs, and new and noteworthy for rc0.

Other business?

David to investigate with webmaster possible issues with committing using platform M7 as a development environment. Kathy, Neil, and Raghu have all had some similar issues.

Teams Status and Focus for Coming Week

XML/JSP Component Team

• Working on limited "mustfix" defects
• Defect (fix) verification
• Updating tutorials (105989&181979) to match 2.0 UI
• Reviewing performance tests
• Ongoing triaging of incoming bug reports

Java EE Component Team

You can now create servlets in Servlet 2.5 containers (Java EE 5 Web projects). The ModelProvider interface now allows modify()

Dali JPA

• Completed last code items for RC0
• Completed New and Note.

releng

• Investigating improving usage scans and test coverage reports
• Running Performance and API tests

Performance

Known Issues

• The baseline test needs to be rerun each week to eliminate false "hiccups" in performance.

Action Items

• Improve the UI readability and cohesiveness of the output result pages
• Improve the actual tests. Why do some take so long? Why do some results fluctuate? Why do some have 160% performance degradations? Are the tests even still valid?
• Allow committers to reliably and efficiently run perfomance suites in the workspace before checking in code
• Add JSF and JPA performance JUnits
