Re: [eclipse-ide-wg] Eclipse Mylyn tests infra needs investments or will be retired soon
|
Hi Alexander,
can you explain what kind of (build) resources are required
specifically? e.g. with Tycho / m2e / Platform / SWT we made good
experience in using Jenkins for the official stuff and Github for the
platform specific test, there is even a reusable workflow for this and
it can become as easy as this:
https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform/blob/master/.github/workflows/ci.yml
From m2e project I can tell that we also made some good experiences
where m2e has adopted some of its "connectors" in the codebase, even
though they usually never really change, when refactoring or dependency
upgrades happen it is usually not a big deal to adjust them with little
effort.
So maybe for mylin it would also be good to have its "core" parts
integrated into the eclipse-platform repositories (even though that's
just more an idea and needs to be discussed) and we just join forces
here so that mylin contributors become platform contributors.

Dear Eclipse IDE WG,
Let me inform you about the situation with the Eclipse Mylyn project,
because it provides valuable additions to Eclipse IDE scenarios.
As you may know, Eclipse Mylyn was going through hard times and was
revived by a group of enthusiasts about a year ago. It is now back in
SimRel and has regular releases.
However, It is still noticeably understaffed. Moreover, with the
stepping back of the company [1] that established Eclipse Mylyn along
with all the tests infra we have a risk of loosing the ability to
execute the most part of our integration test suite [2]. Every release
we need to upgrade 3rd party libraries to be aligned with SimRel, and
without integration tests, the viability of the Eclipse Mylyn project is
in question.
Dear Eclipse IDE WG, are you interested to support Eclipse Mylyn with
additional resource pack [3] or in other terms?
Please feel free to respond to the Eclipse Mylyn team in any way you like:
* this email thread
* discussion at GitHub [2]
* any other ways
Thank you for reading.
Alexander Fedorov,
Eclipse Mylyn Project Lead
