Main Agenda Items

• We're migrating to JIRO; it is not a zero effort task.
  • CBI Bug 568551 on our breakage
  • JIRO migration bug 568553
  • FAQ entry on what needs to be updated, followed by a section on getting our UI tests running
• Tycho 2.x introduces breaking changes along with its support for Java 11. Older versions do not know to exclude any bootclasspath options on Java 9 and newer.
  • Tycho 2.1.0 has released; it is no longer necessary to refer to a SNAPSHOT.
  • Our toolchain file used the jre directory inside of JDKs for 1.3-1.8, but uses the main JDK folder for 9 and above
    • References to the javadoc (and other) executables may have been expected at the wrong relative path in any buildDoc.xml Ant scripts
  • Bug 562851 - tycho-eclipserun-plugin does not set -data directory correctly
    • Instead of a ${basedir}/workspace/ folder under the working directory, it is now ${basedir}/target/eclipserun-work/data/
  • Bug 563893 - Require Maven 3.6.3 as minimum Maven
    • CI jobs may need updating.
  • Bug 562851 - Switch to Java 11 as min requirement
    • This should already be updated in your CI job, and is needed to be able to consume the target platform plug-ins.

WTP 3.20 for Eclipse 4.18 and IDE 2020-12

• Standard shutdown rules for changes: Project Lead approval required for changes after M3, PMC Review for any changes after RC1 (e.g. to be in a RC2).
• Project list with links to their pages, showing the current leads can be found here.

• 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 had 22 consistently failing tests on HIPP10.
• Java 16 is expected in March 2021. Java 17 is the next scheduled LTS release.
• Still watching for mentions of JOnAS support 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
