Attendees

DJ to give an update on Orbit IP Log info web page generation. (student project)

no more progress
make sure we have a generic tool - use with Equinox Bundles and others for instance
people are gathering information for their own release reviews
is this required for Europa? not a stop ship

David to give an update of where we are with splitting up the Xerces APIs bundle.

have to be careful about releasing a bundle name and changing it later
if they are combined, then we shouldn't name it something that we might want to split it out into later because that would cause problems for people who require bundle
what about putting the API jars into Xerces and shipping it as one jar for now?
David to talk to other Europa teams to ensure this won't break people
do we really need to break the APIs into 3 bundles? (javax.xml, dom, sax)
