    Hi Folks, 
      
      The final non-emergency build of ECF 3.10.0/Mars is complete.   
       
      I've already contributed this build for ECF filetransfer usage in
      p2/Eclipse via [1], and if all goes well over next few weeks (no
      critical/major/blocker bugs) this build will be released as ECF
      3.10.0 (as well as contributed to the Mars SR repo).
       
      If you are able to do install and smoke testing, please do so with
      the repo here [2].   Any testing would be appreciated.
       
      Please delay pushing any code changes to master for at least the
      next two weeks (frozen).  Doc changes and/or safe releng changes
      OK.
       
      Thanks,
       
      Scott

         Hi Folks, 
           
          Sorry about the long note below, but we are coming up on the
          final days 
          for ECF 3.10, and I wanted to communicate so that everyone
          will know the 
          timing of things, what's going to happen, and what everyone's 
          responsibilities are going to be. 
           
          1) When:  First, here's the Mars Simultaneous Release Plan and
          Schedule 
          [1].  For all those not familiar with SR releases, all of
          these 
          deadlines are considered both immutable and inviolable...i.e.
          they 
          cannot and will not change.  If any project doesn't meet these
          deadlines 
          it will be dropped (with prejudice).  For ECF core and
          filetransfer we 
          are actually considered a -1 project, because these components
          are 
          depended upon by Equinox/p2/Eclipse.  That means that we have
          to be done 
          *earlier* than the platform (+0).   Just yesterday I provided
          an M7 
          build of ECF core and filetransfer to the Platform.  On this
          comment [2] 
          David clarifies our schedule.  Please see that comments [2]. 
          Given 
          those dates and David's comment about how hard it will be to
          get even 
          trivial new builds in place for later release candidates, my
          inclination 
          is to shoot for the RC2 May 20th as our *final* non-emergency
          build for 
          ECF 3.10.0.  We can discuss this, if people have other
          thoughts, but 
          realize that the later we go, the more we will have to fight
          with the 
          Eclipse PMC to get new builds through to the Platform for
          Mars. 
           
          2) What:  First, starting next week (May 4) we will be on a
          feature 
          freeze.  That means no more new things added to this release,
          and only 
          bug fixes.   If you have something that you intend to get into
          this 
          release and have not already, please get it in (with
          notifications to 
          everyone here) by mid-day PT on Monday.  From that point on
          only bug 
          fixes (no enhancements) may be added until after we've
          complete the Mars 
          final builds. 
           
          3) Who:  I, Wim, and Harshana will be triggering release
          builds when we 
          are ready, and coordinating our own schedules to do so when
          needed (e.g. 
          May 18th).   When we do that and everything is complete, one
          of us will 
          send a note to this pointing to the updated download page, New
          and 
          Noteworthy, build qualifier, maven repo, and git tag
          associated with the 
          release.  At that time one of us will also update the Mars
          meta-data, so 
          that the Mars build will include the latest 3.10.0 release in
          the Mars 
          SR repository. 
           
          4) Request for Help with Release/Install/Smoke Testing:   
          It's always a 
          struggle to get sufficient testing, but this is particularly
          true for 
          release/install and smoke testing.    What I mean by this is
          taking some 
          appropriate version of Eclipse SDK (e.g.) the latest Mars
          (4.5) 
          milestone build [3] and installing the latest build of ECF SDK
          repo [4] 
          to make sure that everything installs, all the feature and
          plugin 
          meta-data is correct, all the legal stuff (licenses, feature
          and plugins 
          info, etc), all the source is available, etc.   This release
          includes 
          some significant new Eclipse-based tooling for Remote Services
          If you 
          have a few minutes, *please consider doing this* for some
          Eclipse 
          package or configuration that you care about (e.g. Eclipse EE,
          Eclipse 
          Java, WTP, Equinox server, Karaf, etc) and some set of ECF
          features (RS 
          SDK/Eclipse SDK).   If you find any problem, please open a bug 
          immediately here [5] and classify it as 'major'. 
           
          Thanks!  3.10.0/Mars is going to be a great ECF release!
