Project Plan For Eclipse Git Team Provider, version 0.6

Introduction

The EGit project provides two major technologies:
  • JGit, a pure Java implementation of the Git version control system. The JGit component is licensed under the EDL and has only BSD licensed dependencies.
  • EGit, an Eclipse team provider plugin which relies upon JGit to access local and remote Git repositories.

Release Milestones

M110/30/2009
The first incubation release of EGit and JGit code from the eclipse.org namespace and eclipse.org the download area.
The primary goals of this release are to fix the outstanding data corruption documented in bug 286653, and to get the project team familiar with the eclipse.org environment and development process.
A secondary goal of this release is to integrate the user-sourced wiki documentation as help text, using wikitext.
M211/30/2009
Polish more of the known bugs in the current code, in an effort to stablize the code base for the 0.6 release.
0.61/1/2010
Final 0.6 release available for download through eclipse.org. Ideally the EGit project would be out of incubation by this point and could make a non-incubation release.
