WTP 2022-05-19

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: May 26, 2022 for 3.26RC1 (1 week)

Announcements And Special Reports

• The removal of CVS-originating bundles from Orbit requires that we build with the legacy site, for now, pulling in required bundles from the old Orbit via our features. We're updating the parent POM with each Orbit stable build to avoid accidentally building against something for 2022-09M1 before 2022-06 GA's.
• Web Services build failures appeared as Error 13 abends of tycho-surefire test executions, but "resuming" the build showed conflicting chains of javax.xml (and related packages), caused by bundles importing those packages at the same time they were requiring Xerces as a whole.

Main Agenda Items

• Migration from Bugzilla+Gerrit is coming, but no decision has been made between GitLab and GitHub.
  • GitHub has many proponents, and its Issues can contain rich information, but moving them between repositories requires a Committer on both. Triage is also limited to Committers in general.
• 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 3.26 for Eclipse 4.24 and IDE 2022-06

• Java EE wizards are not entirely respecting the package name changes. The Servlet wizard should be fully functional, but the Filter and Listener wizards still need work.
• 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 update to Xerces 2.12.x 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 3.26 (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 3.26 release, scheduled for June 15, 2022, 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/3.26/bugs . When you log in on the PMI page, the link to create a New Release will be available on the right. 3.26 will GA on March 16th as part of 2022-06, one week earlier than planned to avoid the holidays.

• For bugs that should be in the PLAN, use the "plan" keyword and a 3.26, 3.26 milestone, or 3.26 release candidate target.
• Bugs targeting 3.26 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. "3.25 (2022-03)" or "2022-03 (3.25)" since that's filled in by reporters, but keep the Target Milestone simple as before (3.26, 3.26 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 on 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 3.26 and Eclipse IDE 2022-06 release on March 16, 2022.

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
