• Latest News
  • Martin -- No news; Javiers stuff not yet committed
  • DaveD -- JUnit adapted to refactorings; will look at M4 bugs
  • DaveM -- Refactored UI/Non-UI: "Organize Imports" should be sufficient for client code

  • Other News --
• Upcoming Work
  • M4 bugs: PLEASE REVIEW M4 BUGS!!
  • Inbox: REVIEW Assigned to Inbox

    • Fallback for Martin on the Sep27 presentation: DaveD or Michael Scharf
  • Source Code Style & Cleanness
    • Compiler Warnings: See Committer Howto
      • When you change a code, please make it warning-free before checkin (but dont go and chase compilerwarnings yet)
      • Target VM is Java-1.4 with the satandard settings (i.e. no assert unless set up in build.properties)
    • Code Ownership -- See (and edit) DSDP/TM/Code Ownership
    • Code Style and Format -- defer to next week
  • Change Requests -- defer to next week
  • Features: Jakarta-commons, JUnit-framework, Discovery, EFS-Experimental, WR-Terminal (bug 152826)
    • Jakarta-commons still important for Symbian
    • Discovery: Martin to hook up with Javier directly for initial checkin
  • Refactorings: DaveM did most important stuff; consider "finished" for now, continue with hi-pri bugs
    • Martin to fix ISV docs and document the changes in build notes
    • Subsystem Factory vs. Configuration: Please rename *factory to *configuration whenever you see it (Javadoc, local variables, parameter names)
  • API Things
    • Martin did some minor extension point cleanup (rename), see build notes of N-builds
    • 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
      • bug 150265 allow specifying subsystem types - DaveM to discuss with Javier once discovery is committed
        • 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
        • Look at this again next week
    • 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, Tutorial code in Javadoc
  • Bug Work - please observe priorities
    • DaveD: Team stuff
    • Open bugs: P1, P2 bugs, API bugs, Open with Patch,
  • Legal: JUnit (next monday?); Jakarta-commons (deferred!); WR Terminalview (passed!)
• Other items
  • Manual test plans - in work by Martin
  • EFS Experimental feature to be created by Martin
• Free discussion -- feelings, comments, critics
