Topics:

 

ECF2 – Enterprise Component Framework how does this compare with Corona?

 

Corona Core – Joel

• Continuing work on integration of new Apache Muse code,
• Apache Muse has been committed to Apache subversion repository
• Will revisit AbstractManagedContainer would manage all Container properties or just WSDM based properties
• Restarting work on Corona Core to work with updated Corona WSDM

 

Corona WSDM – Joel

• Nearly complete with reintegration of new Muse 2.0 drop with Corona Core Code
• Work creating the distribution as OSGi bundles – build meeting Thurs about OSGi with Daniel, Weitzel

 

Project Container – Glenn

• Working on reading reading configuration from ZipConfigurationStore
• Started discussing issues regarding nested ProjectConfigurations
• Started documentation of the communication flow using ECF connector between Collaboration Client and Collaboration Server – Dennis created a sequence diagram for this it still needs to be posted on wiki  
• Working on implementation of Project Join user story – next 3 weeks

 

Project Container Client – Marcin, Edyta, Pawel

• Work on implementation of Project Join user story from RCP client side – next 3 weeks

 

Collaboration View/Feature – Edyta, Marcin, Pawel

 

• Collaboration View needs a way to display hierarchial set of Projects within Eclipse.
• Investigate feature implementation for Collaboration Client update package to be posted on eclipse download site – Any progress?
• Memory Usage grows with every event since they are kept in memory – Any progress?

-          Look at TPTP Common Base Events as a format to save the events

-          Find the Common Base Event Viewer and see if it is useful for looking at the event file logs

• Icons/Graphics needed for Collaboration View – had a brief meeting about the icons usability group needs a long lead time since very busy.  Yelana will probably be doing the work
• Corona Team will try to create a batch of icons to be done all at once so that they are built with a consistent look and feel.
• The Collaboration View should be working on Linux.

 

 

Join User Story – Edyta, Marcin, Pawel, Glenn

• How do we support nested ProjectContainers?
• Client Side needs a way to retrieve,hold,synchronize with ProjectContainer Hierachial Structure from Corona Server.
• Old Items

-          User story: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/SharedProjectUserStory_1

-          Use case: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Corona_Use_Case_Project_Join

-          Get List of ProjectContainers

-          User selects from List (starts action)

-          Request / Response protocol built on ECF but abstracted so ECF specific code is not coded into Client  or Server code

-          Allow different client project names to be associated with a singe ProjectContainer

-          Determine how ECF can support a conversation between one client RCP and one  ProjectContainer

-          How to handle File New Project wait until Collaboration Nature is added to associate with ProjectContainer?

-          How to handle File Import Project –defer until after New Project is completed

 

Corona Server / Client Communications

• We are currently planning on using ECF for Asynchronous Communications (Collaboration Events, Group Features), and use SOAP/WSDM for Synchronous Communications. The initial use case implementation will be using SOAP/WSDM calls.
• Corona Client side should have a package allowing easy communication to the Corona Server Side.  Should there be 2  cooperating bundles on each side?
1. bundle 1 Web Service Communication
2. bundle 2 ECF Communication

 

 

 

Build

• Corona Server and Client need to execute at the same time for automated testing to work
• The Corona Client Testing should not be started until Corona Server is running and available
• Dennis and Pawel will work on Ant Parallel Target to start Server and Client Test execution
• Corona will be built with projects using JDK 1.4 as the default and only some projects with dependencies on JDK 1.5
• Build instructions are posted see Wiki on build: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Corona_Development_Build
• The Build works on Linux too (run.sh and buildCorona.sh are created)

 

Project Container Server/Client

• Glenn sent initial cut of ProjectContainer interface for Review see corona-dev for postings

• Need to decide on client-server communication in the request-response way and server interface available for client (there are problems with "remote invocations" in ECF)

 

 

 

JUnit Testing - Pawel

• Some progress was made on adding automatic junit testing to the build process
• Need a way to start both Client Eclipse and Corona Server for testing ???
• Ongoing
