WTP Development Status

Remember, any committer can add an agenda item. Typically, short announcements or news items go in the "Announcements" section at the beginning. Longer items or issues requiring discussion should go in the "Other business" section at end.

To join the call: >> https://eclipse.zoom.us/j/6300031838 <<

Next Meeting Date: December 2, 2021 for 3.24 (2 weeks)

Announcements And Special Reports

• The EMO has requested the addition of the now-mandatory files: README, LICENSE and CONTRIBUTING, to the main repositories, and to consider adding files: NOTICES, CODE OF CONDUCT and SECURITY. It's also a good opportunity to do something other than work on source code, dependencies, and builds. There's a documentation generator at https://www.eclipse.org/projects/tools/documentation.php?id=webtools (adjust for the appropriate project) for starting the three required files, plus NOTICES, and you can adopt the security and CoC files from https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/.github if you find them agreeable. You can also look at the Source Editing repository if you're curious about what else you might want to include or change from the generated versions.
• Our milestone/release schedule have been pulled forward a week to align with the 2021-12 Simultaneous Release.

Main Agenda Items

• New versions of key facets have yet to be added for Jakarta EE 9, even as more and more Jakarta EE 9 servers are being released.
  • CDI 3.0
  • EAR 9
  • EJB 4.0
  • JPA 3.0
  • JSTL 2.0 (did we have a JSTL facet?)
  • JSF 3
  • JSF 4?

WTP 3.24 for Eclipse 4.22 and IDE 2021-12

• Java EE wizards are not yet respecting the package name changes. Efforts to fix this are taking time.
• Dali and Web Services have consistently failing tests. Orbit has added the Jakarta EE 8 versions of APIs that were removed in Java 11, making those usable as potential solutions.
• The new version of Xerces is causing many unresolved failures in the Source Editing XPath tests, although they mostly look like changes to how whitespace is handled in the output from the newer library version. The other functional failures have been addressed.

• Release Plan
• Bugs of WTP 3.24 (table).
• Jakarta EE 9 Platform has GA'd. 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.

• Project Leads, make sure you have a 3.24 release, scheduled for December 8th, 2021, 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/3.24/bugs . When you log in on the PMI page, the link to create a New Release will be available on the right. 3.24 will GA on December 8th as part of 2021-12, one week earlier than planned to avoid the holidays.

• For bugs that should be in the PLAN, use the "plan" keyword and a 3.23, 3.23 milestone, or 3.23 release candidate target.
• Bugs targeting 3.24 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. "3.24 (2021-12)" or "2021-12 (3.24)" since that's filled in by reporters, but keep the Target Milestone simple as before (3.24, 3.24 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 approval
  • 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 3.24 and Eclipse IDE 2021-12 release on December 8, 2021.

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
