| [eclipse-dev] Planning Meeting Notes - Jan 28, 2009 |
[ Belated status from yesterday. Sorry all, I was/am max'ed. (Note: This is what they look like if I don't canonicalize them.) ]
--------
Status
--------
JDT APT status:
- newsgroups, inbox, Bugzilla, conf calls
- lots of APT/JDT questions this week; have been doing a lot of user
support, testing, and filing bugs
- APT is finished for 3.4.2 and for 3.5M5
Debug
* Debug view bread crumb control is released for M5 (bug 252677)
- when the view is sized to one line it automatically switches to a bread crumb control showing the suspended thread/frame
* Working directory chooses for launch configuration tabs made API (bug 221973)
* Investigating console deadlock fix for 3.4.2 (bug 259107)
* Bug fixing
PDE
* Target Platforms
- experimental preference page to manage mutliple target platforms and wizard to create/edit new targets
- new target platform editor supports installation based targets (in addition to directories/features of bundles)
* System library reference validation
- API errors/warnings page provides link to download required metadata (per environment)
- you need to install the environments (fragments) you want validation for
* Continued work on API use scans/reports
- using XSLT to create HTML reports
- investigating use of database to store/process scan results
* Start levels supported on Eclipse application launch configurations
* PDE supports DS (declarative services) in self-hosting and build scenarios
* Bug fixing
