Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Disabling Mylyn from SimRel + Removing related Orbit workarounds
Hi folks,

At the recent Planning Council meeting we discussed this item[1] and have come to the conclusion that enough time has passed to allow these problems[2] to be resolved. As they haven't been resolved a reminder, the plan is that at the beginning of the 2022-06 release cycle (in time for M1) that:
- Mylyn will be removed from SimRel
- the current Orbit direct contribution to SimRel will be removed (this was the workaround to make Mylyn work)

I still fear there are a number of side effects of this change that we will have to deal with, and doing this in M1 timeframe (mid-March) should give us plenty of time to resolve any issues before the final release (mid-June).

[2] The bugs that were tracking the issues that are not resolved are Bug 569078 and Bug 568379

Thanks,
Jonah

I have heard from a number of projects, both on this list and elsewhere that they are making the updates. I have not submitted these changes today and propose that I do them at the beginning of the 2022-06 release cycle (mid-March). At that time I will recheck to make sure I am not disabling anything that gets fixed in the meantime.

Regards,
Jonah

Probably correct, but I don't have the nerve to disable (or knowledge/time to fix) Mylyn. 

Hi folks,

It is time to remove the temporary workarounds. When I had a look today I realised that more and more projects are relying on the temporary workaround initially put in place for Mylyn.

Over a year ago I filed numerous bugs asking projects to fix their contributions, some projects were very responsive and others I have not heard back from.

Therefore for M2 I plan to disable all projects from SimRel that aren't up to date or have otherwise started relying on these workarounds. I will submit the following gerrits[1,2] after 2022-03 M1 is done. Please see the gerrits for what is disabled. I attempted to only disable features where possible and not entire contributions.

The affected projects are (with some comments):
- Mylyn (fully disabled Bug 569078)
- Passage (only one feature, so fully disabled)
- DTP (many features, lots because Lucene 7.x is no longer provided by Eclipse Platform? + Bug 569181)
- WTP (Bug 568136)
- m2e-wtp (JPA related code)
- PDT (Composer feature needs org.apache.commons.exec) 
- soa-bpel (depends on disabled WTP features)
