Status

Platform Workspace (Szymon P)

• Fixed several bugs related to data races.

Platform SWT (Arun)

• Neon M4 and Mars.2 bug fixes and patch reviews
• Continuing work on HiDPI implementation

Platform Releng (David)

• Have been working on preparing an off-cycle release of Orbit, to pick up commons.collections security fix (does not impact Platform). (bug 482130)
• But, "new Orbit build" does have minor changes to ICU4J bundle and httpcomponents.client that will require tweak to "pre-reqs" (no functional change). (bug 472808 and bug 481627)
• Found and provided a patch on threading issue in UI code (bug 480076). Would be good to get wide spread review/testing.

Platform SWT (Arun)

• Worked on HiDPI support on all 3 platforms.

Platform Releng (David)

• Have made some progress on understanding the root problems with "Display performance results" bundle (bug 481272).

- Will take lots of changes to fix in the right way.

- Does anyone remember it ever working as part of IDE? If not, I plan to remove that "dead code".

• See also the performance umbrella bug (bug 454921)

- failing tests should be removed, or fixed.

- long running tests should be shortened.

JDT UI (Markus)

• Released first cut of substring completion in Content Assist. Still working on better proposal ordering, rendering in the UI, etc.

Equinox p2 (Ian Bull)

• Tracked down and fixed DNF on mac-tests2 (bug 480416).
  • Problem was Apple's "Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?" dialog that blocked a second instance of Eclipse.
  • Part of the solution was a fix in the test framework: We now get screenshots even if the SWT thread is blocked or if SWT is not working at all.

September 9, 2015

Discussion/Reminders

Maybe we should start using the Gerrit build job for the aggregator? See https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/platform-releng-dev/msg23427.html

• Conclusions:
  • A Maven/Tycho build could detect compile errors, but can't currently run all tests (since not all tests have been ported to Maven, and some tests need special setup that is hard to port).
  • Building/testing the whole SDK on every single commit wouldn't scale.
  • Nightly builds are good-enough to catch integration problems. It's acceptable to have failing N-builds every once in a while, but those who broke it should reply to the platform-releng-dev list and communicate the bug that covers recovery actions.
  • Ping David to request an extra N-build if you'd like to verify a nontrivial cross-component change, or after recovery commits have been pushed.

Discussion/Reminders

• [Markus] Pushing changes that cause API problems is easily avoidable: Version_Numbering#API_Baseline_in_API_Tools. Expect such commits to be reverted without much fuss. If you find a bug in API Tools, you should report it and include the bug number in the API filter's comment.
  • Note that committers are expected to run on the latest I-build.

• Reminder: Mars.1 RC3 is our last scheduled build. All changes need PMC approval:

• Need to promote an Orbit build!
• Need to re-check our versioning.
• We'll supply BETA_JAVA9 patch for Neon stream only (for M2).

- have discovered feature patches are no longer published specific to exact feature.

- Only work around is to do some "hand editing" of content.xml (or, ant task, of some sort).

bug 475853 - Reminder to increase Mars service fields, if changed

Platform Releng (David)

• A few things left for Mars.1. (relatively minor, but low impact on others).
• Have been VERY busy with "Simultaneousness Release" problems.
• Got the Orbit Maintenance Builds running again (finally)

- Jsch 0.1.53 is ready for one of our M-builds, after someone sanity checks it.

• After moving all the unit/integration tests up to Java 8, want to sync up "production tests" with "stand alone tests"

- This may cause some disruption, to those that use "stand alone tests", until I am finished (such as some paths and variables are not always defined as they need to be.

• Have started to look at producing java9patch again. Gotten far enough to know if won't be easy. :\

I think 3 or 4 components need to finish fixing Bug 471835 - Build succeeds, even when "old" parent pom is referred to

I think that *might* be making it harder to straighten out the patch streams.

August 5, 2015

Discussion/Reminders

• Mars retrospective Eclipse/Mars Retrospective

• Question that came up in the call: How can I see what version of GTK is used to run the tests during the build?
  • Answer: You can see it in the "Properties »" link at the end of test results for tests that ran in an Eclipse runtime instance. E.g. here, it says: "org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.version 2.18.9".
  • These properties also tell other interesting things like the exact VM version, XULRunner path, locale, etc.
  • The gtk.version property does not show up in the swt.tests results because SWT tests need to run with the plain JUnit runner, which fetches these properties at a time when SWT has not been loaded yet.
  • Teams are working on setting up an environment where tests can regularly run under GTK3 as well.

• Mars M6 Bug fixing
• Adapting to Platform UI IAdaptable changes
• Performance test to load Breakpoint Manager with 50 BPS is down 23%. Even though loading with 200 BPS does not seem to have regressed. In One scenario, it was reversely observed with 32% improvement with 200 BPS and 23% regression with 50 BPs. Needs some analysis.

• Our Platform Luna SR2 RC4 is due this week (which is our "final build" for SR2, but appears a new build is not needed. So far?

- Unless someone feels strongly otherwise, I will rename our "RC3" as "RC4" on due date, Friday.

Even though "same bits" (same versions, etc.) from my experience, less confusing to community to have them renamed on DL site, and will state in "announcement" that they are the same bits.

Discussion/Reminders

• Can "web app dependency" issue be fixed by making its web app BREE 1.6? bug 457396. (Jetty and org.apache.jasper.glassfish require that anyway.)
• Reminder: This week's M-build is for Luna SR2 RC1. Build schedule has been updated for Luna SR2 and M5 ... there is some overlap, so a few "busy days".
• Architectural question: Should we increase default -Xmx? (See bug 456585) It has been 512m for 5 years. I *think* VMs now "use only what they need", not literally reserving max heap value, like they used to? Anyone know for sure? Or, who to ask? An alternative, interesting approach (at least approximately 2012) some IDEs set the default "mx" more dynamically, based on the memory they find installed on the system (such as 1/4 total RAM -- which user can still override).
• Time to triage Luna SR2 (4.4.2) open bugs?

• Produced the "JGit Security Fix" repo for Luna SR1a (bug 456947)
• Some tricky issues getting some teams "aggregating" on Luna (bug 457144
• Despite the problem it's causing us now, important fix in Orbit's "jasper.glassfish" bundle (with Tom's help!) (bug 442310)
• ICU4J

- we plan to update for 4.4.2 and 4.5 (different versions). ICU team "nearly done building" (every day :)

• Inconsistencies in org.eclipes.rcp.configuration. (bug 457071)

- in local tests, two steps forward, one step back ... but, more optimistic than I was a week ago, that it can be fixed.

- did get some of the history of those "configuration units" from Andrew (via email) [which I'll summarize in some bug, somewhere.]
