Hello,
How about plain text emails please? HTML with the font size set to
sub-atomic is a real bother to read since I have to increase the font
size to even SEE if there anything in there I should care about.
Thanks,
Gary

Discussion Topics

Outreach
----------
Code camp in Toronto this week.
EclipseCon:
- ElipseCON 2004 is a resounding success!
- pictures, news, and reports from the conference are here:
- http://www.eclipse.org/events/eclipsecon2004/live.html
--------
Status
--------
Debug:
- bug fixing and M7 shakedown
- Inspect/Display results in lightweight popup windows
- context menu launching - "Run >" appears in the context menu
- the ability to use "Step into Selection" on any line in the Java
debugger
(used to be limited to current line of execution)
- ability to prepend/append to the default runtime classpath for a Java
project on a Java launch config
- refactoring support for Java launch configurations
- EclipseCon Debug Technology Exchange. Turnout for the tech exchange was
larger than expected, which resulted in a BOF. Some common themes among
debug developers are scalability issues (different debuggers/languages,
and debuggers supporting a larget number of
threads/frames/variables), a
dynamic debug model (rather than the strict hierarchy defined in
Eclipse), and issues around multi-threaded debug models which are more
pertinent in 3.0 with background jobs.
- EclipseCon Ant poster and BOF. Encouraging turnout for the poster and
BOF. We were able to work with some developers in a "plug-in clinic"
style, and develop relationships with developers interested in
contributing to Eclipse.
Ant:
- bug fixing and M7 shakedown
- demo for importing existing project in the local filesystem into the
workspace, based on an existing build file
- editor enhancements
Rel. Eng.:
- investigating causes of missing org.eclipse.jdt.core* source in
midnight
builds
- testing builds with jdks in new location
- moved to using JDK levels specified in updated 3.0 plan for building
and
testing, i.e. Sun J2SE 1.4.2_03 on Windows and Linux.
- PDF doc generation
- investigating how to take performance measurements during automated
JUnit
tests, analysis of data, automated reporting of results using an
existing
performance testing framework
- testing M7 warm-up, test and candidate builds in Eclipse build process.
Platform/JDT Text:
- EclipseCon tutorials, talks, and poster presentations
- occurrence Highlighter promoted from work in progress to Java >
Editor -
Appearance preference page
- a new preference allows to choose whether occurrence annotations are
sticky
or not
- spell checking for comments and strings is now available in the Java
editor.
- to enable this feature a word list must be provided. See Java >
Editor >
Spelling preference page.
- linked mode decoration is done via annotations and can be configured
- new annotation decoration styles have been introduced, e.g. boxing
- bug fixing
JDT/UI:
- attending EclipseCon
- bug fixing
- worked on filtering matches in import statements when searching for
type
references
- experimenting with reduced Java search result tree
- improved Java Workspace Search scope when searching for references. The
scope is limited to those projects which are able to reference the
element
to search for
Compare:
- working on outline view support for Compare Editor
Team/CVS:
- testing for M7
- finishing synchronize APIs. Work is still branched (plan on
releasing early
in M8).
- CVS console ported to new generic console support from
org.eclipse.ui.console.
Equinox:
- recovering from RCP excitement at EclipseCon
- renewed interest in documenting what we are doing and fixing bugs
- improved runtime error reporting and logging
- good progress on the OSGi specification changes
- consolidation of command line options and system properties
Platform/Core:
- working on a first cut of non-uniform encoding support
- good progress on the new preferences mechanism:
- finalizing API
- implemented the compatibility layer
- defining the scope precedence/lookup order
PDE Build:
- Starting to investigate updating PDE build for runtime changes
Platform UI:
- 1/2 of the team members at EclipseCon
- worked on demos and talks for EclipseCon
- ongoing work for New Look stream
- ongoing work for RCP Themes
- ongoing work for Workbench Intro
- bug fixing
