  • Get the APIs Right --> enable public API discussion --> ISV docs, Wiki API discussion, [api] bugzilla's
  • Get our Processes in place --> JUnit, nightly builds, infocenter, update site
• Latest News
  • Martin -- still on leave
  • DaveD -- Continuing work on bugs, testing, bookkeeping, builds
  • DaveM -- Working on read/dispatch bug from Michael S. (critical P1)
  • Kushal -- Working on bugs, testing
  • Javier -- not available

  • Uwe -- not available
  • Michael -- Attending Eclipse Summit today
  • Other News --
• Top Priorities from the previous week:
  • #1 - Bookkeeping: Copyright Checks
  • #2 - Hi-priority bugfixing
• Upcoming Work
  • New bugs: REVIEW Assigned to Inbox, Status NEW
    • Open bugs: P1, P2 bugs, API bugs, Open with Patch,
    • DaveD: 150128 harder than expected, would like to defer: bugfix to persist each of 3 persist-jobs in a row is easier than adding the API for persist on demand
    • DaveM: 153652 copy&paste - drag&drop works always, copy&paste fails from remote FS to windows explorer.
      • Dave & Kushal could not reproduce problems with Drag&Drop files when folders worked
      • --> Martin to re-test once Commons_Net builds ok
  • Communications
    • We need a RSE 2.0 Project Plan! - Work on the RSE 2.0 Planning page (not discussed)
      • Martin to create an empty Milestone Plan in a hidden area of the webserver; DaveD to fill in features for dates
  • Source Code Style & Cleanness (not discussed)
    • Missing / Incomplete Copyrights - fixes look good, please use UTF-8 as character set for projects
    • Compiler Warnings: See Committer Howto
    • Code Ownership - DSDP/TM/Code Ownership - DaveD to edit (for self).
      • Propose FTP to be transferred from Martin to Javier (OK)
      • Propose CDT Launcer to be transferred from Martin to Ewa (OK with committers, DaveD to clear with Ewa)
  • Change Requests
    • SystemRegistry.getTheSystemRegistry() vs. RSEUIPlugin.getSystemRegistry()
    • Default colors for command view - white background, black or dark blue foreground
    • Remove rseConfigDefaults extension point - Kushal
    • Remove passwordPersistence extension point - Kushal
    • Deprecated getRemoteProperty() --> Document property namespaces, reserve "org.eclipse.rse" namespace
  • Features: Jakarta-commons/Net, JUnit-framework, Discovery, EFS-Experimental, WR-Terminal (bug 152826)
  • Refactorings: DaveM did most important stuff; consider "finished" for now, continue with hi-pri bugs
    • SystemRegistry.getTheSystemRegistry() vs. RSEUIPlugin.getSystemRegistry() -- need to keep this for now
    • Kushal IConnectorService --> if we can afford after addressing hi-pri bugs
  • API Things
    • Service Error Reporting - bug 149472 - DaveD - API ok so far, final resolution? --> Create new different bug id for that one.
    • Parallel Services - bug 142478 all queries in background - DaveM
    • SystemRegistry.createHost for Javier
      • bug 150168 dont commit immediately - DaveD
        • Javier: not important at the moment; DaveD: probably fixed already (Still under investigation)
      • bug 150265 allow specifying subsystem types - DaveM
        • Example: 1 Host providing shell and FTP (different categories)
        • Problem: createHost() only creates a host with 1 service -- See video for service discovery, DaveM to take a look at it
        • Need createHost() with a list of services
        • Can wait until hi-pri bugs are fixed.
    • Making stuff internal - ssh, ftp: Martin; Core: List of candidates from DaveD?
  • Cleanup: API Doc (duplicates in interface and implementation!), JUnit tests, Context help, Test Plans, RSE-7-migration-docs, Copyrights, licenses
• Other items
  • Tutorial: Update at the end of the release process, change instructions (re-use example code: We dont want to teach PDE)
  • Manual test plans - in work by Martin
• Vacations, Holidays etc.
  • Martin - 2 weeks once the baby is here (October 1st!)
  • Javier taking Oct 12-13.
  • DaveD taking Oct.12-13 off, 20 as well
• Free discussion -- feelings, comments, critics
  • EclipseCon 2007 coming in March. Call for Papers has been issued. Martin (and perhaps DaveM) will submit proposal for 2 hour tutorial.
