Hi, all
BIRT/Buckminster/Maven had a meeting on October 17. Thomas presided the meeting, the attendees are: Thomas Hallgren [Buckminster] John Casey [Maven] Sue Lee [BIRT] Xiaoying Gu [BIRT]
We discussed the steps forward and initial milestones based on the initial evaluation for Buckminster by BIRT and Buckminster/Maven integration. We agreed that: BIRT: Regardless of if Buckminster is used or not, the BIRT build system must become PDE build compliant. The BIRT team will put a significant effort on this over the coming weeks. Buckminster: Working on becoming more PDE build compliant Will try to build the RCP platform BIRT/Buckminster rendezvous when both projects are close to PDE. Maven: Finalize public API so that Buckminster can use the Maven libraries for artifact support and to call plugins 17-Nov: Alpha version of BIRT build system based on PDE build. BIRT Milestone 2 17-Nov: RC1 of Buckminster Maven artifact support (no support for version ranges) Maven plugin support Check Buckminster Wiki for planned features 1-Dec: Achieve understanding of how to perform integration of BIRT build with Buckminster In coming months: Work closely with BIRT/Buckminster to get the conversion done. Please see the meeting minutes for more details.
So, 2 of the action items for Common Build Infrastructure will be deferred accordingly, they are: 1. (1 November - Denis, Henrik, Sue) Set up a vserver for Buckminster/BIRT builds 2. (1 December - Henrik, Sue, Nick, Denis, Andrew) Report on past few months' work to determine what is required of the foundation for the future
Thanks,
Sue Lee
