Upcoming Work

• Top priority this week is getting started with the "big rocks" in bugzilla, for RSE 2.0 Planning
  • add unit tests for all new or modified API
  • document API changes:
    • ALL API changes need to have an associate bugzilla item tagged with [api]
    • At time of API freeze, we will search all [api] bugs and generate migration docs (manually out of them)
    • When making an API change, not only look at the code but also look at ISV docs
      • Text search for package names or class names
      • Usually javadoc is sufficient - there are rare cases where overview is affected as well
• RSE 2.0 Planning
  • Plan not made yet, but looks like everyone is working on proper items already. Martin to finish plan items this week
• Think about limiting the API: Make APIs internal along the way of updating documentation, and making Unit tests, we'll see some API we want "internal".
  • DaveD: Is there a tool that looks for cycles in package reference graph?
  • Michael: Lattix - shows dependencies as a matrix
  • Martin: API Scanner from the WTP project

  • Michael travelling next 2 weeks
  • Kushal busy with IBM until Jan.19
