Announcements And Special Reports

• The release has been so far delayed due to build problems caused by unit tests. They have been disabled until the next milestone at least.
• Now the release is waiting for a short test. This encountered some problems on Ganymede when installing the Faceted Project Framework.

Details

Wiki

• created the XQuery Development Tools/Release Notes page
• Sam will create the milestone road map wiki page with milestones until Helios (M2, M3, and M4)

Bugs / Issues

• there is the unsolved Unit Test problem (junit4 tests are not compatible with the Galileo stream release)
• the Athena Hudson build is having a problem finding org.eclipse.test plugin which is not needed by our tests. If this is a dependency for the test framework, it should be added by the build scripts. See [Bug 999999]

Development Status

• Gabriel corrected two minor issues:
  • The search interpreter functionality was blocked by a NullPointerException thrown by the XQDTJavaInterpreterInstallType
  • one more I cannot remember...

Future Plans

• for M2 (end of February) we have in plan:
  • grammar extensions: how can we make grammars extensible (Gabriel will look into this)
  • WTP XML editor integration
