Recently discovered a nasty
deadlock bug in Eclipse Webtools 3.8.2 [1]. 3.8.2 was
planned to be the final release in the Neon.x
stream - Neon.3 dropped last month as the final
simultaneous release.
We've already moved Fedora
25/26/rawhide, RHSCL 2.4, JBoss Tools 4.4.4.AM2 and
devstudio 10.4.0.AM2 to include these latest Neon.3
updates, so all 4 products/projects are affected.
This deadlock bug impacts
most of JBoss Tools/devstudio, including m2e-wtp and
Fuse Tools, so we're hoping we can get Webtools
PMC to approve a 3.8.3 maintenance or patch release.

Actions/Questions:
@Victor, can you escalate
this problem to the rest of the WTP PMC to get this
moving?
@Joe/@Kerri/@Honza/@Vaclav,
what's the latest we can push a fix into the RHSCL 2.4
Beta/CR bits before it goes GA on April 26?
@Tim/@Martha/@Jeff, the
latest we can update the JBT/devstudio target platform
in preparation for the 4.4.4.Final/
10.4.0.GA
builds is May 9, but a few days before that is ideal
so more testing/verification can occur. Alternatively
we could provide a patch feature in Red Hat Central,
or patch webtools ourselves and provide that in our
target platform. Upstream is preferred, of course.

More info:
Note also that Fedora 26 has a Beta Freeze on May
2, so getting this in there beforehand would be
ideal.
