Announcements And Special Reports

• We're pivoting from our own Jetty p2 repository to one supplied by the Oomph project, as its artifacts are GPG-signed
• Migration from Bugzilla+Gerrit is coming, but no decision has been made between GitLab and GitHub for our project repositories.
• Our web site repository, on the other hand, has been moved to GitLab.

Main Agenda Items

• New versions of key facets have yet to be added for Jakarta EE 9 and now Jakarta EE 10.
  • Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) 3.0 and 4.0
  • EAR 9 and 10
  • Jakarta Enterprise Beans (EJB) 4.0
  • JPA 3.0 and 3.1
  • JSF 3 and 4
  • JSP 4.0
  • JSTL 3.0
  • RESTful Web Services 3.1
  • Servlet 6.0

• 2022-09 and above allow for Java 17 as a BREE

WTP 3.28 for Eclipse 4.26 and IDE 2022-12

• 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 3.28 (by severityUnresolved Resolved)
• 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 3.28 release, scheduled for December 7h, 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/3.28/bugs . When you log in on the PMI page, the link to create a New Release will be available on the right. 3.28 will GA on September 14th as part of 2022-09, one week earlier than planned to avoid the holidays.

• For bugs that should be in the PLAN, use the "plan" keyword and a 3.28, 3.28 milestone, or 3.28 release candidate target.
• Bugs targeting 3.28 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. "3.26 (2022-06)" or "2022-06 (3.26)" since that's filled in by reporters, but keep the Target Milestone simple as before (3.28, 3.28 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 3.28 and Eclipse IDE 2022-12 release on December 7, 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
