Upcoming Work
- Top priority this week is getting M5 stable.
- TM 2.0 M5 Testing
- New build on I20070220-1126
- New wizard problems fixed
- Please test thoroughly today!
- We'll have more I-builds at least once every day until M5. But lets find the issues first before we start fixing minor ones
- Invest 2-3 hours of testing before starting the bugfix cycle
- Current plan items and API things:
- Changes in Platform M5 and M6:
- Official API for ssh prefs
- ssh now part of cvs feature
- Helpserver changed, Userdocs not accessible right now; DaveD will check
- (Bugzilla#173772) RSE New Connection Wizard Rework
- 170909 (DaveD) User Actions & Import/Export
- Attached on bugzilla; AI Martin will upload refactored version after M5
- No need to rush anything into bugzilla, DaveD to work with Kushal on finishing the contribution
- 170923 (DaveD) UI/Non-UI splitting
- Preferences finished, these were the hardest; more stuff to do - DaveD really wants to get it done soon after M5
- 170627 (DaveM) ISystemFilter in SystemViewElementAdapter.getChildren()
- DaveM wants to get rid of the FilterString stuff in IRemoteFile now that IContextObject works
- getImageDescriptor, getLabel should also get the context
- more to do to get closer aligned with Platform (bugzilla bug exists)
- 170922 (DaveM, Martin) Making as much as possible "internal": SystemView, SystemFilterReferenceAdapter, Subsystem Impls
- What should be the recommended way of re-using existing subsystems against a new systemType
- Registering FTP or ssh against Windows will not be case insensitive; roots, drives etc are all unix-style
- DaveM: Dstore overrides SubSystemConfiguration for Windows in order to provide different filters etc; The SubsystemConfiguration defines the filters etc
- If we make SubsystemConfiguration public, we'll also need to make stuff API that is being returned; probably make some methods final that return non-API interfaces
- What people win: createDefaultFilterPools(), isCaseSensitive(), for UDA it might also be important
- Decision: make the SubSystemConfigurations API again for M5, AI Martin make it API
- Kushal: API Scanner? - Martin: too early to use yet, do it for M6
- 170915 (DaveM) Getting rid of Platform "internal" access
- AI Martin fix the ISV docs
- 163820 (Kushal) Encodings
- Test cases? Manual Tests?
- 170916 (Kushal) EFS
- Oliver Hardt looking at it; Kushal prepared Streams for ftp, ssh
- Kushal trying to fix it for M5
- Martin & DaveM work on EclipseCon tutorial: fix bugs as needed
- AI Martin write bug for preselection
- 170832 (Martin) Read-only setting on ssh - what about using EFS on the back-end? (dstore doesnt do streams)
- AI Martin: timestamp, ro-flags still TBD for ssh
- add unit tests for all new or modified API
- Changes in Platform M5 and M6:
Other Stuff to Do
- Reduce number of plugins (once UI/Non-UI separation is done, have e.g. ssh.core and ssh.ui but not more)
- Prerequisite: need to be able and disable registered stuff; TBD through Capabilities
- Move org.eclipse.rse.connectorservice.local into org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.core
- org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.core (collapse files.core, processes.core, shells.core)
- org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.dstore (collapse files.dstore, processes.dstore, shells.dstore)
- Have it split up now in order to allow people "get what they need"; and as an example for ISVs "here's how to do your processes" - having stuff bundled together gives people the impression that they can't change it
- Add Montavista shell processes subsystem
- Martin wants to put it into processes.core
- DaveM: confusing for people who want to use it
- Would it be better to have a Process Service to interface with the Shell Service rather than doing a subsystem --> Allows to take the ProcessServiceSubsystem and choose which service to use
- Decision: Put it into its own plugin but part of the core feature for now, think about consolidating plugins in next iteration
- Other stuff
- Orbit bundles to be added differently
- Unittests to run every night
- AI Martin Version Number Changes in plugins and features - any more to do?
- Copyright Year Changes
Communications
- Europa Requirements
- (done) TM 2.0 Ramp down Plan for Europa
- (done) Update features and include the words "end-user" and "extender"
- Avoiding non-API from other projects
- AI Martin create bugzilla against CDT
- Update Wiki to explan whether SDK contains examples --> AI Martin wait for Platform and adapt
- For bugs, see the bug process page (assigned to inbox, plan items, status new, hi-priority, API, open with patch, assigned to M5) -- pretty many right now
- Update Copyright Year to 2007 if you happen to think about it
- (done) Fix N-builds (second workspace, use Ted's scripts)
- Please continue on Compiler Warnings
- Change Requests
- Vacations, Holidays etc.
