Discussion/Reminders

• [dw] bug 421038 should we use zero for service field in labels/names for releases
• [dw] bug 361901 should we have a separate feature for SWT? Is this an important bug to fix?

Status

Platform SWT (Lakshmi)

• 4.4 Bug Fixing

Platform Releng (David)

• bug 420888 - Add categories for JDT, PDE, and CVS

I also added "descriptions" to all categories. Please review for errors or obvious improvements.

With p2 IDE client, use 4.4 I-build repo to read categories:

http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.4-I-builds

If no comments, in bug, in a few days, I'll count as "fixed" and roll out to "milestones" and backport to 4.3 repos.

Status

Platform Text (Dani)

• working towards 4.4 M3, no further fixes planned

Platform SWT (Lakshmi)

• 4.4M3 Testing
• Switch made to use GTK3 by default on Linux instead of GTK2
• Working on bug 420581 - eclipse hangs on startup, on new workspace. It is caused due to problems in loading the webkit libraries. Workaround is to set SWT_GTK3=1 explicitly.

JDT Core (Jay)

• Bug fixes and testing for 4.4 M3 - No open items for M3
• Progress on Java 8 work

JDT UI (Markus)

• working on Java 8 in BETA_JAVA8 branch:
  • switched the shared AST level to JLS8
  • UI should work fine with Java 7 code, but support for Java 8 constructs is still weak

October 23, 2013

Discussion/Reminders

• [DW] Reminder: Our M3 stabilization week is next week, beginning with I-build on Sunday, 8 PM, 2 I-builds per day Monday through Wednesday, sign-offs on Thursday, and finally promotion on Friday, November 1. See our build schedule. (Plan is not to have an M-build next week, unless someone requests it).

• [DW] Can we coordinate a "buildId" branding bundle change for M3? Or should we wait until after M3? See bug 419503.

Enticement: it is mostly "getting rid" of POM code. No "touching" required (since branding bundles always increment qualifier). If not coordinated, just a minor impact of branding-bundle "about" would say "@buildId@" instead of normal Idate-time ID.

Requires these 5 components to apply a POM patch in branding bundle in next few days:

eclipse.jdt

eclipse.pde.ui

eclipse.platform.resources

eclipse.platform.runtime

eclipse.platform.ua

Only unknown is effect on "source branding bundles".

• [DW and Dani] Should we remove "requires platform feature" from cvs-feature, pde-feature, and jdt-feature? See last few comments in bug 419201#c26 (comment 26 and beyond). For reference, see Version_Numbering#To_require_features_or_to_require_bundles. Does this impact ability for these features to have a "root" IU? See also bug 403811.

⇒ [Dani] We decided to test whether it fixes the build issue and if so, remove the "requires" dependencies where applicable.

• [DW] Just a question: are "capabilities" (activities) usable in 4.x stream? (Asking for bug 419334.) I see preferences for them in build I20131022-1300 ... but recall hearing "not supported in 4.x" (long ago)? And, they are not in JEE Package like they used to be ... maybe IDs/dialog changed name?

⇒ [Dani] It works for old-style contributions but is not yet fully implemented for E4-style ones (see bug 359778).

• [DW] Should we respin I-build for bug 419940? (Could just do an I-build in place of tonight's N-build, unless someone really needs an N-build?)

Discussion/Reminders

• everyone: please prepare for the Kepler retrospective Eclipse/Kepler Retrospective

• [dw] Remember to tag and branch Kepler repositories. Instructions for both in bug 410747. Please comment in bug once done.
• [dw] In master, remember to update version of eclipse-platform-parent pom you reference. Update to 4.4.0-SNAPSHOT. Umbrella bug 410966 should have a patch for your repository.
• [dw] Any objections to doing 4.3 maintenance builds at 10 AM on Tuesdays?
  • Dani: I would suggest to do it at the same time as in the past years (except last year where we had two streams) i.e. Wed 08:00. Or are there good reasons to switch to Tuesday, where we already deal with the I-build?
• [dw] Congratulations, and THANKS for Kepler release!

June 19, 2013

Discussion/Reminders

• Discuss when to make maintenance branches (and do maintenance builds) and make coordinated change for parent pom version. See bug 410966.

• Dani: that all unchanged bundles have to update the POM is just wrong. There needs to be a way to fix this flaw - either in Tycho or in our builder,

• Executables will soon be signed. (Windows, then Mac) bug 406157. We'll try in Luna for month or so, and if all seems ok, we'll back port to Kepler SR1. This will be (should be) for "packaged" executables only ... not those in "repository" so adopters can still "brand" their own executables ... is there anyone who knows how to confirm that is needed, and works?

Equinox (Tom Watson)

• Getting luna branch ready to drop in the new framework implementation
• Need to coordinate with other teams to avoid breaking the build. The following defects need attention and coordination.
  • bug 407097 - Add org.eclipse.osgi.compatibility.state to features - e4.rcp feature needs updated (eclipse.platform.ui)
  • bug 408277 - Need to remove references to internals from p2 tests to avoid breaking the build (rt.equinox.p2)
  • bug 411046 - Remove usage of equinox resolver API from simple configurator. Needed to allow provisioning of tests during the build (rt.equinox.p2)
• Working branches that need to be merged into master. The following branches contain the majority of the work already done to implement and migrate to the new framework. All of these need to be merged into master (or rebased if appropriate) at the same time.
  • rt.equinox.framework - twatson/container - contains the new framework. Plan to merge into master.
  • rt.equinox.bundles - twatson/container - migrates equinox bundles to new framework where required. Plan to merge into master
  • eclipse.platform.ui - pwebster/luna - adds org.eclipse.osgi.compatibility.state to e4.rcp feature. Recommend we rebase on master and then fast-forward merge into master.
  • eclipse.platform.runtime - twatson/luna - updates tests to convert 2.0 style plugins to bundles. Recommend we rebase on master and then fast-forward merge into master.
• With these coordinated changes there will be a number of test failures.
  • org.eclipse.core.tests.resources - tests contain 2.0 style plugins
  • org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tests - tests contain 2.0 style plugins
  • org.eclipse.pde.api.tools.tests - one test for 2.0 style plugins
  • org.eclipse.pde.build.tests - needs more investigation, likely has tests for 2.0 style plugins
  • org.eclipse.pde.ui.tests - several tests for 2.0 style

  • This was the bug for enabling Gerrit on PDE: bug 405017
• Reminder to keep your baseline up to date (see the rules)
  • There were API changes in 4.2.2
  • If you modify an installation used as a baseline, you need to reset the baseline IDE (Preferences > API Baselines > Edit... > Reset > OK)

Discussion/Reminders

• [dw] bug 402494: Simplicity vs. Correctness of "local CBI Builds". As a general rule, if a bug is entered from community based on the results of a "CBI Build", they should normally be immediately considered "invalid" and ask originator to reproduce on one of our production (I/S-Builds). There's just too many variables involved in "local CBI Builds".

• M6 CBI builds are about as done as they are going to be. But appear to be usable (for end users, and other's builds).

Most notable omissions: Delta pack isn't quiet right. Equinox drops are not being "collected and published".

• At least Windows Tests are finally working. (If any of failing Unit tests, such as in p2? On Mac? appear due to proxy problems, let me know and there is more tweaking I can do).

• Announcement: A new drop from EMF went into this morning's build, so ... may deserve a little retesting.

• Discussion? Instead of composite of all milestones, should M6 be just M6?

• Proposed Plan for RC3/M5/RC4

• Last scheduled M5 build tonight, 8 PM, sign-off tomorrow, contribute Friday
• If that final build goes well (and no need for Thursday respin of M5) then we'll respin RC3 on Thursday with the known bugs fixes.

• What are those bugs again?
• Will schedule 3.8.x for 8 AM Thursday and 4.2.x 10 AM Thursday (Eastern), but will 'pull plug' if problems with M5
• sign-off RC3 tomorrow, contribute RC3 on Friday

• I believe some bugs are still planned for RC4? Should those builds be "on demand", once PMC approval is given? Final RC4 build on Wednesday?
