WTP 2.0
- Please review the Europa Final Daze shutdown plan.
June 2007 Platform +1 WTP RC4 June 15 June 20 June 21 3 PMC +1's Europa GA June 29 June 29 June 29
- Europa To Do's
- Testing
- Do some install testing from the Europa Discovery Site
- Early remote update site: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/europa/staging/
- Try running WST without installing JDT.
- Try installing everything from RC2 Europa and run through normal scenarios.
- Be sure to also test with different features installed in different locations.
- Open bugs on Cross-Project bugzilla component under Community if you see any issues when installing all of Europa.
- A preview of the release's New and Noteworthy is now available. Components should edit copy and update as needed in case anything in the UI has changed since the original milestones. Please review and update or provide some feedback by Thursday June 21st.
- A known issues and workarounds document will also be provided. Nitin will send a note with further details.
- UI Changes
- We have had an unexpected high number of UI changes during the release candidate shutdown periods.
- For example, in RC3 alone, JSF added 171 new words in one properties file. UI changes this large, this late are unacceptable.
- Breaking Changes
- Breaking changes, even if internal API, are inappropriate, especially during RC's. We have had some breaking changes slip in the past few weeks from multiple teams. If you are not sure if anyone is using the API, run the breakage scan, if you need me to verify for you, let me know. Releasing to a build and crossing your fingers is not acceptable.
- WTP Build Scorecards
- Here is our current WTP 2.0 Release Scorecard
- WTP Component Scorecards
- We will start maintaining a high level picture of WTP quality and stability across all components. The characteristics expected will be different based on whether it is a weekly, milestone, or release build. Please review and add any thoughts or comments via the wiki or by sending an email to wtp-dev mailing list.
- We will send a note about where to add your Europa shutdown functional test plans and results.
- Feedback on scorecards -
- Add comments, bug links, or details links to know why something failed
- Keep list of known exceptions and links to bugs, to provide a light red x, not a harsh red x, for those known failures.
RC3
- RC3 is declared.
- JUnits look good.
- Smoke Tests all pass.
- Bug Lists
- 2.0 Remaining Targeted RC3 Defects (~0)
- Bugs Fixed in RC3 (~80)
- Bugs Fixed in all RC's (~236)
RC4
- Due to the risk of regression we need to focus on testing (especially around recent fixes) and documentation. PMC approval will be increasingly stringent for this phase of the release:
- No last-minute enhancements or completion of function.
- Bug fixes should have patches attached and be tested, reviewed, and risk-appropriate for this stage of shutdown. Please comment on the function affected and risk of regression.
- Bugs will not be approved without review by the component lead. Component leads please add comments and use the bugzilla review flag when raising for PMC approval.
- Bugs now require three positive votes and no negative votes.
- June 15th - June 21st, WTP RC4

- Build Status
- JUnits so far so good.
- Versioning issues compared with 1.5.4 - We still have plug-ins with different qualifiers and that need a service update. Please review the versioning report on the build pages.
- Build Schedule
- We need to shutdown for RC4 one day earlier than normal next week to declare on Thursday June 21st.

- Bob F -Community resources pages have been converted. Work tracked in bug 192549. I would love feedback. Also, RC3 news added. Ready to declare pheonix conversion complete.
Other business?
- WTP 2.0.1 - We will not officially branch to a maintenance stream until 2.0 is declared. For now, you can use your own private branch for 2.0.1 or 3.0 work because we want to keep head pristine as well, just in case we need to rebuild a plug-in and so we can tag all plugins with a 2.0 version before branching. Instructions on branching to follow, not sure if we branch all or branch as needed.
- WTP 2.0.1 will be a Europa coordinated maintenance release, but they have not released that schedule as of yet.
Teams Status and Focus for Coming Week
Server Component Team
Datatools (RDB, 1.5.x only)
XML/JSP Component Team
- Europa testing and fix verification
- Updating tutorials (105989&181979)
- Growing our 2.0.1 items and trying not to work on our 1.5.5 items.
- Brainstorming 3.0
- Ongoing triaging of incoming bug reports
Web Services Component Team
Java EE Component Team
Dali JPA
JSF
releng
- 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
API Violations Review
- Visit latest build for current 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?
