[wtp-dev] Status of M3 build

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just to keep everyone informed, while
not all teams have officially voted yet,
results are looking good and so far
we expect no changes, except  ....

we have received a last-minute (tentative)
approval from the Eclipse Foundation
to include the Xerces jars in our build.
So, I will be asking for a re-build,
just to include those. This will make
things easier for our end-users, even
though they will still need to do the
"manual" updates for dependancies related
to web services. For those interested,
this difference was primarily due to
Xerces being distributed before with
the Eclipse platform (and an earlier
version is still available in platform
repository as part of 2.x stream) but we
will are still going though the Eclipse
Foundation's legal process for re-
distributing "3rd party" code.

This (re) build should be available
early on Friday and, hopefully, promoted in
afternoon ... teams are not being asked
to re-test this build assuming no other
changes are requested. Just a few of
us will "sanity check" the build,check the
config maps, diff the build directories,
etc., but if all matches, should be no
differences from today's build.
