[eclipse-dev] Planning Meeting Notes - June 6, 2003


Help:
- 2.1.1 status: Help test finished - no regressions found. One minor issue
  routed to SWT.
- dynamic loading of TOCs feature implemented and released ("Improve scalability
  for large help books" plan item)
- added support to display resources (Javadoc) form jars/zips ("Support HTML
  pages in archives" plan item)
- will look into allowing dynamic help content

Update:
- new UI ready for M1.
- document describing the changes in progress - will be ready when we declare M1.
- another 2.1.1 candidate fixed and released in time for the Wednesday build
  (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=38335). The fix verified with
  the product team that originated the defect.
- Linux/GTK merging investigation ended with a conclusion that it cannot be done
  without simultaneous Releng changes and is too risky for 2.1.1.

PDE:
- import wizard redesigned for M1 based on input from large products' teams.
- new PDE Build code not ready for M1 - several PDE issues found. Both PDE
  Build and PDE UI code related to these changes rolled back for M1 (will
  continue the work after we declare a stable build).

Team:
- 2.1.1 PRs have been code reviewed and verified and test pass completed on Monday.
- CVS workaround for the Sidecar buffer problem has been removed from 2.1.1 and
  we verified that the VM patch fixes the original problem.
- work is ongoing for enabling background synchronization and running of CVS commands.
- started work on defining the Provide User Settings item in the 3.0 plan. See
  http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-vcm-home/docs/online/team3.0/settings.html.
- talking with the UI team about our object contribution requirements.

Platform/JDT Text:
- 2.1.1 testing and verification

      dependencies on org.eclipse.core.resources.

    - will have report on findings re: common views, and direction going forward.

      shortly post-M1.
  - editor management:
    - unable to address due to lack of resources.

      at UI level for now.
