Minutes
1. Meeting Time
Arthur: The current time is not good
for some people. Can we move it up 2 hours?
TedB: BEA is OK with the change.
[RESOLVED] The meeting will be
held 9:00 PM EEST = 2:00 PM EDT = 11:00 AM PDT.
2. Bugzilla Backlog
Arthur: We need to start reducing the
bug queue. Starting next week, we'll review the open bugs. To start, everyone
who has resolved bugs should verify them. Jeffrey posted a note showing
there were around 800 bugs waiting to be verified.
Thomas: What builds can we verify them
on? Only Milestones?
Arthur: You can use an I-Build. Don't
use Nightly builds. Ideally, you should also contribute a JUnit test case
to guard against regressions.
Arthur: Component leads should also
start assigning targets to bugs. Since many bugs will be deferred to the
next release, we need to add the Milestones for the December release. Let's
discuss the Milestone plan next.
3. WTP 1.0 Milestone
Schedule
Arthur: Assuming we ship WTP 1.0 on
Dec. 16, that gives us 20 weeks after WTP 0.7. Do we want 2 or 3 Milestones?
[RESOLVED] There was general
agreement that we need 3 Milestones (including the Endgame).
Arthur: Since we are not renaming the
old WTP 1.0 Milestone builds, it will be confusing to reuse the Milestone
names M1, M2, etc. Discussion on the mailing list indicated we should also
not use M7 to avoid confusion with WTP 0.7. The options are either M8,
M9, etc, or M101, M102, etc.
[RESOLVED] The Milestones will
be called M8, M9, M10.
[ACTION] Arthur will get WTP
1.0 M8, M9, and M10 targets added to Bugzilla.
Arthur: How does the strawman schedule
look?
Thomas: We need 8 weeks for the first
Milestone for the Flexible Project changes.
Arthur: Sept. 23 is actually 8 weeks
after we ship WTP 0.7. I was assuming some vacation so really only, say,
6 weeks of development time. Does that date look OK?
TimW: That date looks reasonable.
David: Just to clarify, M10 is the Endgame
so now new function in it. If so, we only need 4 weeks.
Arthur: OK, we'll move M9 to Oct. 18.
[RESOLVED] The proposed Milestone
schedule is:
M8 - Sept. 23
M9 - Nov. 18
M10 - Dec. 16
4. Other Issues
TedB: I'd like to request a more rigorous
approach to logging bugs in Bugzilla. We've seen fixes with no corresponding
bug.
[RESOLVED] Everyone agrees to
open bugs for all changes.
TimW: We should also adopt the Eclipse
platform practice of increasing the level of notification of changes as
we approach the end of the cycle, e.g. notify the mailing list and/or newsgroup
of changes towards the end of the cycle.
[ACTION] TimW will propose a
change notification policy.
Thomas: Can developers also include
the CVS revision number when closing bugs?
TimD: We have the convention of putting
the bug number in the cvs commit comments.
Thomas: OK, if we can have CVS
mail notification to a new mailing list.
Jeffrey - FYI, Naci had some CVS
logging but disabled it. (in CruiseControl) Probably because of the email
traffic. However a separate mailing list should eliminate the objection.
[ACTION] Arthur will request
a new mailing and CVS commit notifications.
David: Has anyone tried the latest I-Build.
Jill - Yes. It's problematic. Openning
files, e.g. WSDL, causes crashes.
TimD: I can open JSP files.
TedB: We are running into problems in
RC1 with Java 1.5 support. We're tracking JDT bugs.
David: We can move up to RC2.
TimD: Also the new EMF breaks J2EE.
Chuck has checked in changes. We should move up to this after this week's
I-Build.
[RESOLVED] After this week's
I-Build we will move up to RC2 and the new EMF.
David: We also need to move up
to the matching versions of GEF and JEM when they are available.
