Main Agenda Items

WTP 3.20 for Eclipse 4.18 and IDE 2020-12

• Release Plan
• Bugs of WTP 3.20 (table).
• Jakarta EE Platform is closing in on Jakarta EE 9 with a target date on November 20th. Their Meeting and Community calendars. An incomplete list of items needed for WTP to support it properly can be found here: WTP "Jakarta EE 9" Bug Query, using a specific whiteboard value. The list needs more input and additions from the various project leads and committers.

• Eclipse 3.18 requires Java 11 to run. All of our CI builds (and their BVT) are now run using Java 11, with compilation still against your specified BREE. Dali has 22 consistently failing tests.
• Java 16 is expected in March 2021. Java 17 is the next scheduled LTS release.
• Still watching for mentions of JOnAS support still being desired.

• Project Leads, make sure you have a 3.20 release, scheduled for December 16th, 2020, to your project under https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/webtools . With the Bugzilla information filled out in your individual project metadata, you can see overviews like https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/webtools/releases/3.20/bugs . When you login in and then Edit from the PMI page, the link to create a New Release is on the right. 3.20 will GA on December 16th as part of 2020-12.

• For bugs that should be in the PLAN, use the "plan" keyword and a 3.20, 3.20 milestone, or 3.20 release candidate target.
• Bugs targeting 3.20 at a glance
• https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/q/status:open+webtools for open Gerrit Changes

• SimRel FAQ and Plan
• Bugzilla naming: Put the simrel into the Version that's reported against, e.g. "3.19 (2020-09)" since that's filled in by reporters, but keep the Target Milestone simple as before (3.20, 3.20 M1, etc.) so that bug queries don't get too convoluted.

• Schedule is for 13 weeks, 4 cycles per year:
  • one week decompress and plan
  • (3) three week milestones
  • one week RC1, changes require Project Lead approval
  • one week RC2, changes require Project Lead and PMC +1 approvals
  • one week quiet and release

• We meet roughly once per Milestone / RC scheduled for 1 week before the candidate build day. Declare is 5 days later with the corresponding EPP 2 days after that, and official SimRel/IDE availability one day after that. WTP 3.20 and Eclipse IDE 2020-12 release on December 16, 2020.

Builds

• Release and CI builds use Java 11 by default, with toolchains setup so that BREEs are respected during the compile phase.
• Latest CI builds: https://hudson.eclipse.org/webtools/view/webtools_CI/
• Smoke Test
• Bugs reported since our last meeting
