[mdt-ocl.dev] Indigo Initial Daze

[Ed Willink <ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I've updated build.properties to use the final Helios drops, and checked 
it with an N-build. That completes 3.0.0 development.

I've created an R3_0_maintenance branch for 3.0.1 development.
(Oops first mistake of the new release; I created an R3_1_maintenance by 
mistake first.)

HEAD is therefore clear for 3.1 or 4.0 development.

As indicated earlier my provisional plans are an 'mid'-year 3.1.0 
release making the Xtext editors much more robust and friendly. This 
release to coincide with SR1 or M2.5 at approximately 1-Oct-2010, 
comfortably before Eclipse Summit Europe.

At 3.1.0 non-examples plugins will have little more than bug fix 
development. Fully API compliant. All non-trivial changes to be approved 
by a second committer.

At 3.1.0 examples plugins may have major changes probably affecting 
internal APIs. I'll probably rebaseline the ReflectiveLibrary branch 
until there is a coherent pivot model etc change available.

4.0.0 for Indigo will fully integrate the Xtext and pivot model with the 
LPG parsers, largely preserving internal parser APIs.

For Indigo+1 we will work with QVTo and Acceleo and ... to see how best 
to deprecate the internal parser APIs.

I'm about to try to learn to love Mylyn to see if I can't improve our 
Bugzilla usage so that all Bugzillas can be related to planned work 
activities that appear in the project plan.

I would like to partition the Bugzillas as 5% defer, 5% won't fix, 90% 
planned fix for Indigo and actually fix at least 75% of them. i.e for 
the 111 bugs up to 317398, we actually fix at least 83!
