Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Sorry, entering a bug into the product JDT has been disabled.,

Just curious, if as you stated

how do you know that, as you stated

and it was not considered?
From what I have seen on the mailingslist and elsewhere, many different
options where discussion and there was a lot of room for the community
to participate and give suggestions.

Sorry. This is vandalism. No other word for it. "action involving
deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property." I
didn't call anyone in particular a vandal since I do not know who / what
is the underlying motivating force for this madness.
Yes I'm frustrated and seriously considering quitting Eclipse since the
EF is pulling the rug out from facilities that I considered sacrosanct.
No I can't use gitlab since gitlab doesn't talk to me.

Ed,
I want to suggest *yet again *to please have this discussion on this
issue rather than on this mailing list.
https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues/678
This way all the interested parties can partake in the discussion and
it will be recorded in one place rather than threaded through this
mailing list. Also, you will then see how issues work (which is
rather cool in my opinion) and you will be able to comment in a more
informed way about it.
I'd also strongly suggest omitting the emotional baggage from the
discussion because when you describe something as 'vandalism' it
implies that there are vandals about. I'm very sure that our fine,
overworked, Eclipse-Foundation IT staff will not appreciate that
implication, nor suggestions that there is craziness and madness involved.
Let's please be nice with one another, even when we are frustrated...

Ed

A plan. Yes, a plan facilitates discussion that enables craziness to
be avoided.
So where is the Bugzilla that precedes the mad rush to issues?
Unfortunately I cannot participate on gitlab issues since gitlab
seems unable to send notifications to me. I am excluded which may
please many. I do not have the bandwidth to keep a Firefox tab open
on every gitlab issue I care about and to poll them to see what has
happened.
Re the respelling of git.eclipse.org as github. I moan but accept
that this may be a necessary evil.
It is the loss of Bugzilla that I regard as unacceptable and a
totally unjustified vandalism.
The plan never considered a new-GIT + new-Wiki + old-Bugzilla option.

Ed,
The fate of Bugzilla, Gerrit, git.eclipse.org.and wiki.eclipse.org
was announced to all committers:
https://www.eclipse.org/lists/eclipse.org-committers/msg01340.html
The announcement included a plan:
https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/wikis/Gerrit/Gerrit-and-Bugzilla-deprecation-and-migration-plan
It also included a place for providing feedback:
https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues/678
The platform has diligently migrated everything to Github, so that's
a done deal and will not be undone.
Certainly there are issues with issues, e.g., you can't really move
them between organizations, when an organization has many repos,
it's not so clear where to open and issue, and how to search for
issues across repos and organizations isn't clear.
Note that the Eclipse TLP has 4 organizations.
https://github.com/eclipse-equinox/
https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/
https://github.com/eclipse-pde/
https://github.com/eclipse-platform/
There are also advantages to issue, e.g., the user interface is much
richer, allowing to create nice documentation with images and examples.
In any case, the place to have a discussions, and to suggest
concrete proposals to mitigate the downsides, is here rather than
the mailing list:
https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues/678

Ed

Hi
Surely the fix is to abort this mad vandalism and so avoid the need
to chase endless ripples?
While changing the spelling of git.eclipse.org and wiki.eclipse.org
might be necessary and a manageable pain mitigated by redirects,
terminating Bugzilla is madness.
Bugzilla has been providing an invaluable to service to the
platform and JDT for over 20 years and as such is THE record of
many design decisions. The integrity of this record should not
lightly be discarded, particularly given that Bugzilla is not EOL.
Ok it is not seeing much progress towards version 6, but to me that
just demonstrates that it is adequate. Proposed replacements are
far from adequate.
Eclipse is an aggregate of many projects and so we have long
encouraged users to report their bug making a best guess at the
correct product, sure in the knowledge that it can be re-componented.
For instance
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_activity.cgi?id=578944 was
recently plausibly raised as an EMF bug, but then equally plausibly
triaged as an OCL bug. Upon investigation this was bounced back
again to EMF with the option to bounce further to platform.
Bugzilla supports this very cleanly.
For instance again, last week I was forced to raise
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=579718 against PDE
since JDT has gone. hoping that some PDE recipient would know what
the new technology for re-componenting was. Instead a comment
suggests that this is likely a side effect of the 16 year old
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=99622 that is still
being worked on.
Examination of Bug 99622 shows that although JDT bugs have been
moved to archive the active bugs have not yet been migrated and
that no moved notifications have been sent.
It seems essential that ALL bugzillas from ALL 'platform' projects
should be kept in the SAME search space; Bugzilla provides this.
Replacements do not. This would seem to apply until some major
disruption such as "e5" may justify the new team starting a new bug
train for the new activity. Until then please keep e3 and e4 together.
For Modeling projects this is even more of an imperative. Sadly
Eclipse and World Modeling is dying so the amount of new work in
the next 20 years is likely to be much less than that in the last
twenty. It is therefore crazy to split the dying embers off from
their predecessors. If/when some magic new team of well funded
enthusiasts comes along to pioneer EMF 3, then let them too choose
the appropriate bug platform for the new initiative. For now please
do not spend so much effort vandalizing out past achievements and
burning our precious development resources.
Is there any long term Eclipse committer who actually wants this
Bugzilla vandalism?

Agree though, we need some redirects or links at the very least.

It sounds like the PMI needs attention too...
see https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues/1186
Anybody with a bookmark on bugs.eclipse.org or even
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi will simply learn
that JDT is no longer accepting bug reports. End of story. I
thought open source development is all about communication. Never
too old to learn better. I'm glad I no longer feel responsible
for any of this, otherwise I'd have trouble avoiding any bad
words ...

Hi
The PMI form for JDT at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=JDT
is no longer able to report a bug. It reports "Sorry, entering
a bug into the product JDT has been disabled.,,Please press
Back and try again."
Does this mean that JDT is now perfect and will never have any
bugs ever again?
