Upcoming Work

  • See also Last Meeting for notes
  • M6 must-have issues
    • All development and testing against Eclipse 3.3M6 now, please!
    • NLS changes: mostly IBM, not very strict; and need to know what the changes are, so we can report them (notify what files have changed)
      • Translation Test late april
      • Adding user actions+importexport for Ganymede only? - Problematic since it's a committed plan item
      • Useractions is problematic since it has a persistence component.
      • Decision: making all UDA and import/export "internal" and add it with M7, probably as "experimental optional" package
        • Will need some API for default user actions (configuring dialogs to define own file types)
    • Source tgz delivery for source IP scans? - Not heard back
    • 170922 (DaveM, DaveD) Making stuff internal
      • take care of "discouraged access" warnings!
      • rse.core: Should RSESystemType be public? - Uwe: is bound to the extension registry, so OK to be internal
      • files.ui: Activator should be internal (util methods to go to RemoteFileUtility). FileResources should be internal? Dialogs should be internal? (Some to be reusable); SystemFileNewConnectionWizardPage - why not with ConnectorService, or dstore? SystemFileFilterStringEditPane should be public to derive from?
      • 170920 rse.logging is this really complete? Should the bug be split up or the summary changed?
      • processes.ui: Clean-up Manifest (export with ;x-internal="true"); Fix doc.isv; Kill etc actions should be internal. Activator should be internal. SystemProcessFilterStringEditPane should be public to derive from?
      • shells.ui: Activator should be internal; SystemViewRemoteOutputAdapter is public but SystemViewRemoteErrorAdapter not? Why is SystemCommandsView public?
      • subsystems.files.dstore: Almost everything internal, good! What about SearchResultsChangeListener, StatusChangeListener? What about package.html?
      • subsystems.shells.core: What about OutputRefreshJob, its currently needed
      • rse.ui/filters: Can we remove SystemFilterStartHere? Looks like convenience, since it is internal now can we remove it? Should SystemFilter be public so clients can derive from it?
      • rse.ui/UI: OK to have massagers internal? Shouldn't these be re-usable by clients?
        • SystemNewConnectionAction - how to officially do it (needed by remotecdt);
        • SystemResources to be internal? (Or we cannot change strings!)
        • Why did the RefreshAction remain public? Why did the dialogs remain public?
        • Why did the SystemFilterWorkWithFilterPoolsTreeViewer remain public?
        • Why did ui.filters.actions package remain public? Why ui.filters.dialogs?
        • Why did rse.ui.propertypages remain public?
        • Why is SystemTableView public?
        • What to do with SystemCommunicationsDaemon? - Kushal: doesnt matter if it is in Open Source - AI Kushal Remove it
    • ImportExport and User Actions
      • Do importexport and useractions have API? Stuff we need to make internal?
      • Can we add it to the features / downloads?
    • UI/Non-UI Refactorings
      • connectorservice have some Javadoc still referring to SuperAbstractConnectorService
    • API Changes
      • 179910 (Kushal) removing unnecessary upload/download - do we really need still 2 upload methods?
    • TM 2.0 M6 Testing - What changes / features need to be especially tested?
      • "internal" refactorings; new connectorservice; encodings; EFS;
    • Persistence Provider
      • Reason it is in the workspace, is to allow sharing connections with other team members
      • But this doesnt work very well anyways, most requests are for import/export of connection or filter definitions
      • We could move persistence out of the workspace for now; and at some point, re-add an idea of "Profiles" which are stored in a single file and associated with a project later on
      • Migration tools might require multiple persistence providers at some point
      • Some customers have team environments without source control, so import/export is better than CM-based sharing
      • DaveM could imagine using ECF (or other AIM clients) to share connections
      • Use case for different persistence providers:
        • Migration - Uwe: For Launch Configurations, they added a LaunchConfigurationMigrator extension point
      • Persistence Provider could be a Product preference
  • Plan Items
    • 170909 (DaveD, Kushal) User Actions: Still waiting for IP review. Found many icons related to UA and import/export in rse.ui which will need to be moved.
    • 170923 (DaveD) UI/Non-UI splitting: Conn.Svc almost done, others will fall nicely into place afterwards. rse.ui/plugin.xml/systemTypes need to go to core
    • 170932 (DaveD) Default Persistence Provider: mostly non-API
    • 170936 (DaveD) Macintosh - machine for unittests? - Kushal now has access to the box - for M6 testing: Kushal do a sanity test, DaveD do elaborate Mac testing
    • 170926 (DaveM) Improve IFileService: Returnvalue for copy
    • 150498 (Javier) More service-oriented; Multiple subsystems of the same kind - Javier raised bug 174495; 176490 new "dynamic wizard" request, see also "Improve SystemType" below
    • 170911 (Javier) Discovery
    • 170916 (Kushal) EFS
    • 163820 (Kushal) Encodings - AI Kushal UnitTests
    • 170915 (Martin) Adopt 3.3 Concepts: Jsch
    • 170922 (Martin) Optimize RSE API: ISystemRegistry
    • 170910 (Martin) Integrate Terminal
    • 170918 (Martin) Improve SystemType and Wizard: AI Martin Replace Name by IRSESystemType in IHost and wherever possible. AI DaveD Start persisting systemType id in addition to name
      • if() queries -> these are implementation details later, even replacing Name by Properties since the systemType does have Properties already
  • Other API things not directly marked as plan item
    • 173042 Improved / pluggable Refresh: AI Martin make a start, DaveM to review
    • 166338 Asynchronous Callbacks - AI Martin to start
    • expandTo() - AI Martin probably connected to async callbacks, non-UI multi path query and event changes for Refresh
  • Other Business
    • Cleanup: JDT Cleanup wizard, AI Martin start with one plugin
    • 170915 (DaveM) Getting rid of Platform "internal" access
    • add unit tests for all new or modified API

Priorities are folded into the Action Items below

Other Stuff to Do

  • 1. Play well with the Platform
    • capabilities; icu4j; Orbit; ssh prefs; drag&drop
    • retargetable actions/commands instead of actionsets;
  • 2. Improve overall quality (unit tests; special characters; long filenames; background jobs; parallel access; logging; ...)
  • 3. New Features
    • Persistence-as-xmlfile; Service enablement
  • 4. Cleanup/Optimization
    • Remove RSE Performance Logging; place contents of logging into core
    • Reduce number of plugins (once UI/Non-UI separation is done, and once we have Capabilities: have e.g. ssh.core and ssh.ui but not more)
      • Move org.eclipse.rse.connectorservice.local into org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.core
      • org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.core (collapse files.core, processes.core, shells.core)

    • Build Process Improvements
      • Orbit bundles to be added differently
      • Unittests to run every night (Ted's scripts)
      • Version Number Changes to be done by Martin
