Re: [pde-dev] Merging eclipse.pde with eclipse.pde.ui repo

Lars,

Ed, to contribute to PDE the feature is usually not required.
As I discovered authoring the various Oomph setups for "platform
projects", figuring out the repos in which bundles and features lurk is
a task unto itself!
And that
is the only component left in the repo.
I wonder who has been maintaining it... I guess your saying that the
contributors won't care about it, usually...
Of the top 10 most contributed-to projects at Eclipse, 8 have Oomph setups.
Where do I find this list?
The list was presented to the board. I'm not sure if they're available
via the minutes. The point of the slides were to show information
projects with active contributions. My personal observation was that
most of them had Oomph setups.
There seems to be no good reason not to have an Oomph setup, other than
not wanting to author one (which I've already done) or not wanting to
maintain one. But not maintaining one is like asserting that
documenting the manual steps well, and performing them all manually as
well, is better than automation. An argument that does not fit so well
with Eclipse as a tooling organization.
and breaks the Oomph setup we've provided but aren't keen on maintaining forever...
Are the setups maintained as part of Oomph?
Yes, the ones in
http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/tree/setups/interim
are generally ones that the teams themselves should maintain.
I looked up Oomph itself
and it seems to have no contributors in the last three methods, except
for 1 commit. https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.oomph/who
I believe this is the most recent gerrit contribution:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/commit/?id=a25d7e4e31b2efee4d865a5129d5dd6459f2867a
Best regards, Lars

Perhaps someone will some day maintain an Oomph setup for PDE (not to
mention Equinox, JDT, the Platform, and so on). Perhaps there might be more
contributors if contributors didn't have to spend hours figuring out how to
contribute. Of the top 10 most contributed-to projects at Eclipse, 8 have
Oomph setups.
It's clear that this kind of refactoring (and the one discussed for Equinox)
breaks the documentation, if any, for how to set up a development
environment, breaks existing development environments setups, and breaks the
Oomph setup we've provided but aren't keen on maintaining forever...

Hi,
tagging for 4.5.2 has finished.
I plan to merge eclipse.pde with its history into eclipse.pde.ui repo
on Friday 04.03.
Best regards, Lars

FYI, Dani suggested to wait with the merge until we tagged 4.5.2.
See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=475932#c24
Feel free to commit to both repos again, I announce again once we are
ready
for the merge.
Best regards, Lars

FYI - tomorrow morning (CET) I plan to merge the feature contained in
eclipse.pde with its history into eclipse.pde.ui repo. This should
make the eclipse.pde repo obsolete for future developments.
It is likely that my work is easier, if you avoid committing to both
repos tomorrow.
I send out an email, once I'm done.

Best regard, Lars
