Agenda / Notes

• Last meeting: Architecture Council/Meetings/July 13 2017 -- open actions see #Action_Items

• Mikael: Status on migrating Platform SWT Windows build to Foundation servers ?
  • Dani: Not yet ready for broader discussion, there's license compliance issues and more.

• Martin: Infrastructure issues with Eclipse Asterisk unstable
  • Eclipse PMC had been hit by this recently, others currently not affected

• Maximilian: Eclipse p2 target platform resolution unstable
  • For his teams, target platform resolution still often fails due to Eclipse.org servers unavailable
  • Seems no problem in North America, but hitting people in Europe
    • Currently considering a local mirror of "everything" and redirecting p2 to that, perhaps via artifactory
    • But the team is very distributed, so would prefer a mirroring service over that - still researching;
    • Do others see this issue? Workarounds?
  • Torkild: Also seeing this problem all the time!
    • Solution: Bash script creates a target_platform ZIP file that they use; updating only a couple times per year
  • Doug: Updating the Target Platform every night, and resolving locally - still seeing mirroring failures sometimes
  • ACTION Maximilian to create bugzilla for broader discussion of solution ideas / workarounds

• MartinL: Any final decision on shipping Java9 ?
  • Carl: Planning Council decided on Oxygen.1 first, then shipping Oxygen.1a 2 weeks later -- see https://wiki.eclipse.org/Planning_Council/August_2_2017#Discussion for details
