------------------- 
Discussion Topics 
------------------- 

UA: 
- 2.1 Backward Compatiblity:   
 - How long are we committed to maintaining it?

-------- 
Status 
-------- 

Debug: 
- merged "flexible debug platform" support back to HEAD for integration
 build 
 - test pass and bug fixing for new support 
- experimenting with textual display of runtime classpath on Classpath
tab 
- continued work to associate launch configs with resources
- bug fixing 

JDT UI: 
- refactorings: 
 - worked on update derived elements refactoring (local variables)
 - looked at performance issues in move static members
 - finished work on empty parent package and non-empty sub-package
   deletion features 
 - working implementation of refactoring-aware update based on team
   model support 
 - various improvements and optimizations of the refactoring history 
- Clean Up action: 
 - wrote performance tests for clean-ups and improve performance
 - found more stable solution for clean up actions that interfere with
   work on the same region 
- new API: 
 - work in progress: import rewrite as API 
 - JDT actions to work on non-Java elements: pluggable SelectionProvider
   for actions 
- JUnit: 
 - worked on model for JUnit view 
- make JDT .java agnostic 
 - updated jdt.ui code to work with complation units with file name
   suffix other than '.java' 
- miscellaneous: 
 - code review of Common Navigator framework and JDT extension
 - open type dialog now picks up current selection if it looks like a
   type name 
 - API discussions with JDT/Core 
 - bug fixing 

Platform/JDT Text: 
- started to investigate impact of StyledText changes
- bug fixing (including a 3.1.2 fix) 
- bug inbox tracking 
- military service 

JDT Core: 
- JavaCore#initializeAfterLoad(IProgressMonitor) used to 
 schedule a job to do its work. It now does it in the 
 same thread. Note this is not an API change as the spec 
 allows both scenarii. 
- DOM type bindings for generics got adjusted. There were 
 situations where a reference to a generic type from within 
 itself would expose the declared generic type binding, 
 instead of a parameterized type binding (using its own type 
 parameters as type arguments). This is now corrected, clients 
 should ensure they did not rely on the previous inconsistency 
 (note: no change was required from direct JDT dependents).
- added APIs on JavaCore to leverage support for Java-like
 file extensions (from the Java source content-type).
 @see JavaCore#getJavaLikeExtensions() 
 @see JavaCore#isJavaLikeFileName(String) 
 @see JavaCore#removeJavaLikeExtension(String)
- working on builder integration of compiler participant 
 (enabling APT as preprocessor, but should also allow
  postprocessors) 
- working on more robust DOM AST. Tuning recovery to
 common cases, but could consider using syntax diagnosis
 to drive some recovery action. 
- working on null reference analysis. Reached code review
 stage. Code to be made available for M4. 
- adding compiler support for StackMapTable attribute
 (Java SE 6 requirement) 
- working on model support for secondary types, tuning
 performance 
- working on providing additional element info on search
 match (e.g. local var decl if any, siblings in multi
 var decl if any) 
- bug fixing 

Platform UI: 
- bug fixing: 
 - problems with themes when using certain 2.0 workspaces in 3.1.X
 - preference leak testing 
 - problems view bugs 
 - logged performance bugs, some improvements made in performance
- builds: 
 - Platform UI has a bot machine that runs test builds and is downright
   friendly and helpful on IRC it needed some fixing up this week
to support 
   the new Bugzilla 2.20 etc. 
- Commands: 
 - working on legacy Action persistence parsing
- Common Navigator: 
 - port the ActionExpression enablement classes to 
   org.eclipse.core.expressions: 
   - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=115130 
 - update extension point schema doc for navigatorContent:
   - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=115123
- flexible workspaces: 
 - investigation into using more support in wizards etc.
- JFace: 
 - reviewed data binding API 
- logical model support: 
 - gathering editor opening requirements (see bug 42643)
 - worked on editor opening scenarios for Library example
- NL/Accessibility: 
 - Mac OS/X accessibility and NL investigation
- RCP: 
 - investigation into adding support for window types (aka personalities)
 - investigated whether Equinox refactoring will work for standalone
   JFace dependencies on runtime utility classes (looks good)
- tests: 
 - dynamic test synch problems 
- working sets: 
 - working set patches for other teams 
- general: 
 - working on more flexible trim support in the workbench
 - review of Tabbed Properties framework and example from WTP

User Assistance: 
- linkability: 
 - writing a first draft of a proposal for adding general-purpose
   linking capability that acts as a broker between link providers
and 
   consumers: 
   - the draft should be done by the end of this week
- solution guides: 
 - writing a first draft of a proposal to introduce high level UA tool
   (solution guide) that can guides through large tasks:
   - the draft should be done by the end of this week
- M4 planning 
- work continues on dynamic help content and search enhancements
- a solution for a problem where cheatsheets are blocked by modal dialogs
 is near completion (cheat sheets that reuse aux. help window)
- bug fixes 

PDE: 
- launching: 
 - support for new startup sequence due to refactored runtime
 - provide backward compatibility for pre-runtime-breakup targets
- participation in refactoring: 
 - manifest files will now be updated correctly when:
   - multiple packages/classes are moved in a single operation
   - a package and all its subpackages are renamed
- new pretty schema editor nearing completion:
 - in addition to being easy on the eyes, the editor will expose
   new important features; more details next week
- target management: 
 - relaxed the criteria to discard plugins/fragments when resolving the
   target platform 
 - this, for example, will allow you to see all platform-specific
   fragments on the target platform preference page when the rcp delta
   pack is installed 
- classpath computation: 
 - the "is this package coming from the host or the fragment?"
problem 
   has been solved 
 - the "imported package is split across multiple plug-ins" problem
   also solved 
- bug fixes 

Update: 
- verification and installation of bundles can now be done in the
 background 
- automatic server-side mirror support planned to come online this week
- bug fixes_______________________________________________
