Eclipse Project 3.5 Plan items that affect Platform Workspace

• There is no Eclipse 3.5 plan yet but when there is we'll make sure to update this section.

Overall Platform Workspace 3.5 Plan

The overall themes for this release are detailed below (Note, at this point, these are just items that we could potentially address):

• Adopt new menu/commands (196349): The new menu/commands story has been evolving over the last few releases and should be in a state in 3.5 that will allow the Team, Compare and CVS plug-ins to adopt the support.
• Adapt editor functionality to Compare Editor (169386): We should continue to provide as much editor capabilities as possible in the compare editor.
• Improve unmatched patch handling: There are several improvements that can be made around patch handling. Some examples are:
  • Better visual feedback in the merge viewer when portions of a patch cannot be matched so that the user understands what to do and has some additional tools to help them find a match. (190844)
• Compare with Each Other (193321): We would like to provide a more Synchronize view like work flow to the Compare with Each Other action.
• Address Model-based Synchronize View regressions (172027): When the model-based Synchronize view was introduced in 3.2, there were several regressions that prevented CVs from removing support for the old-style Synchronizations. It would be good if these regressions could be addressed.
• Performance: There are several performance issues we would like to address:
  • See the list (Query)
• Builder should be able to specify scheduling rule (198591).
• General proxy settings improvements: There are several issues we would like to address:
  • Fix Gnome support for system settings. (232495)
  • Provide better UI for system settings. (228739)
• History View improvements:
  • History sometimes not correctly filled with revision. (188278)
  • Author not shown in remote compares. (80577)
  • CVS Resource History doesn't persist UI. (50260)
• Create compare tool to generate a patch from any comparison:
  • Compare tool should be able to generate a patch. (151980)
  • Generate diff from any comparison. (103681)
  • Generate diff from "Compare With". (71374)
