Re: [starter-dev] Moving to Proper Eclipse Sponsorship
Hi Reza,

Thanks for sharing the link issue!

In the issue it says:

"I kindly request the following:

  • Create a new resource group `jakarta-starter-rg" in the Eclipse Foundation Azure subscription.
  • Create an App Service instance in that group for the starter named "jakarta-starter-ui". The instance should use the latest JBoss EAP and corresponding latest supported Java SE.
  • Enable Application Insights.
  • Set up access such that project committers can deploy from: https://ci.eclipse.org/starter/.
  • Redirect https://start.jakarta.ee to the instance once a successful first deployment is done."
Who do you expect to do the above work?

I expect the community can complete this work if access is provided. All we need from the EF IT team is access to the Azure subscription. Is this correct?

Thanks,
Tanja

I’ve had this for a couple of months now: https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/work_items/7545? Is there something else I should do?

Hi Reza,

Can you please log an issue with the IT team (link) including all the requirements? We can handle it that way.

Many thanks!
Tanja

I want to make sure we all understand the potential consequences of continued inaction on this.

Currently, as far as I know, there is no one to support this at Microsoft with any decision making weight.

This is one casual cleanup away from the starter becoming offline, with no quick fix until this is resolved.

Thanks.

Is there any hope for this? Chasing Microsoft outside of Microsoft is really awkward...

To be honest, chasing Microsoft do to a manual deployment was a pain. Hence I am trying this: https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues/7545.

Kindly support so we can move this along. This is the right thing to do at this point.

The war deployment is done. Please check it out. Again, one of the most valuable things you could do for the project.

The Archetype version is now out: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.eclipse.starter/jakarta-starter/versions. Please test it out, it’s one of the most helpful things you could do.

I have reached out to Microsoft to deploy the new war. Hopefully they will respond soon.

Please LMK if you can assist. If I do not hear back from you soon, I am going to move ahead with this. I think the only thing that’s in the way is Jenkins permissions?

It has taken me quite a while, but here we are (it's been busy for various reasons including Jakarta Agentic AI). I have now thoroughly cleaned up, bug fixed, and tested everything.

Can we kindly have a release of both the Archetype and UI? Once we verify the Maven Central publish, can you please ask Microsoft to deploy the fresh UI version?

Thanks!

If you have an intention to test, can I kindly ask that you do so soon? If I hear nothing back by Monday, I am going to suggest we start the process for the next release and deployment. Having the UI bugs out there honestly I don’t think is a good thing.

Subject: Re: UI Revamp - Please Help Test
 

Great - this is now sorted - thanks! For the rest of the folks - please test the changes so we can have a stable release soon.

Shabnam/Kito/Ivar - can you look at this please: https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/starter/issues/279#issuecomment-3716050793? I can't fix this. I am not a UI guy. I have done everything that I can already. Please help.

The UI and Archetype revamp is now completely done. This includes addressing all bugs that I could see, implementing a UI workflow, and simplifying the UI validation logic as much as possible, as well as general streamlining towards hopefully sustainable maintenance going forward.

It’s quite a few critical changes. Can you kindly help test? I’ll test myself some more too, but just one person testing is never a good idea for project important to the community. After that, I think we are ready for a fresh release.
