Jeff - Discussion of actions items are added as comments to the bugzilla.
2. WTP 1.0.2 Status
2.1 WTP 1.0.2 Build Status - David Williams
David - We declared a build this week, our first 1.0.2 build.
Ted - The list of bugs that was fixed is still relative to 1.0, can we change it to 1.0.1?
Ted - I looked at the M build this morning and it's still relative to sometime in Dec.
Arthur - Does Eclipse have any planned Maintenance release pass 3.1.2?
David - Not currently.
Arthur - If there's one, we want to line up with them.
2.2 WTP 1.0.2 Bugzilla Status [1] - Jeffrey Liu
[1] http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/plans/1.0.2/adopter-hotlist-report.html
Jeff - Discussion of hot bugs are added as comments in the bugzilla.
Arthur - Are these really hot issues?
Jeff - Bug owner should work with originator on these hot bugs. If there are workarounds, see if the originator is satisfy with the workaround and willing to move the bug off the hot list. If the bug owner does not agree that a bug is hot, then the originator need to justify why he/she thinks it is a hot issue.
Tim - I want to add 129112 to the hot list.
David - This is already fixed in the 1.5 stream, we should be able to back port it to 1.0.2. Please open another bug to avoid confusion on which stream this bug was fixed in.
Ted - Do we need to publicize all the bugs that we fixed in the 1.0.2 stream? If we want to fix a bug, do we have to put it on the hot list?
Arthur - No, we are not limited to hot bugs. We can use comp leads' judgement on what should be fixed. However, no new features, and keep changes to a minimum.
3. WTP 1.5 M5 Status
3.1 WTP 1.5 M5 Build Status - David Williams
David - We changed our prereq to a pre-M6 I build. This is needed for some improvement in the navigator API, so that we can migrate completely. Please test with the same I build.
David - We will need to respin this evening.
Kathy - We have narrowed down the problem. Some manifest.mf changes have the required bundle removed. We need to restore them.
David - Are you using Class.forName(...)? and that's why the builder is not calculating the bundle dependency correctly?
Chris - It's the 3rd party dependencies, for example, WSIL4J depends on UDDI4J, etc.
Kathy - Reverting a few plugins seems to work.
Jeff - When we create new packages, is there anything that we need to watch out for to avoid discourage/forbidden access?
David - Discourage access is just using internal packages. We may need to define friends packages. That should help us prioritize what should be API.
3.2 WTP 1.5 M5 Bugzilla Status [1] - Jeffrey Liu
[1] http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/plans/1.5/adopter-hotlist-report.html
Jeff - Discuss of 1.5 hot bugs are added as comments in the bugzilla.
Other 1.5 items:
David - The milestone plans on the Eclipse.org Web site show that our feature complete date is 04/28. However, the intended feature complete date is suppose to be 04/14. We will update the plans with this info. I wanted to make sure nobody on the call is depended on the 04/28 date, and everyone is good with 04/14.
4. Hot Bug Process
Tim - Havent' really discuss this on the PMC call yet.
Tim - We don't want the hot bug process to become an vechical for people to "increase the attention of the bug".
Kosta - How do we treat enhancements that are on the hot list?
Arthur - If an enhancement is inhibiting an adopter's adoption of WTP, provided that the enhancement is well justified, then we should consider it.
Arthur - Also, critical and blocker should be dealt with.
Ted - I want to propose a simper approach. Anyone can mark a bug as hot, but if no one is in the status meeting to support it, then it is removed.
Arthur - We should give an adopter more time. An adopter may miss a meeting due to reasons like travel.
Ted - If repeatly failed to support a hot bug in the status meeting, then we should take it off.
5. Other Business - Open
Arthur - On Wed/Tues, there was a creation
review for the AJAX project. And it will become an incubator project in
WTP. Their project lead is Craig Becker will join the PMC call.
