Re: [eclipse-dev] Eclipse project plan updated

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll add a clarifying comment about
this in the plan document, but I'd like to avoid using the Helios RC1+0
notation here. First, it's a notation that only really has meaning to insiders
of the simultaneous release process. Second, they don't always correspond
exactly to our build dates. For example during simultaneous service releases,
we produced our RC2 on a Wednesday but the Galileo SR2 RC2+0 date was a
Monday. So, although 3.6 RC1 is on the same date as Helios RC1+0, it's
not necessarily always the case that our release dates match the date we
make a contribution to the simultaneous release. In any case, I'll try
to find a way of making this clear in the plan without confusing people
even more!

Yes, that makes sense, but perhaps your list of release
milestones should say 3.6RC1+0, 3.6RC2+0, rather than 3.6RC1, 3.6RC2, etc?
I don't see +0 referred to anywhere.

Cheers,
Greg

Hi Greg, 

They are both correct!  The Eclipse top-level project belongs to the
"Helios+0" group, so our milestone and RC dates match the RC1+0,
RC2+0, etc, dates on the Helios simultaneous release plan. Our project
has to finish each milestone a few days earlier to give the other projects
time to do final integration and testing, so our finish dates are what
show up in our individual project plan. 

Hope that clarifies, 

John

John, 

The release milestone dates on the plan are out of sync with the Helios
wiki page (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Helios/Simultaneous_Release_Plan).
Which are the correct ones? 

Thanks, 
Greg

A new update of the Eclipse project Helios plan is now available:

http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=eclipse

This plan update contains only one change: moving the Java 7 plan item
to the deferred state. In order to align our schedule with the delayed
official Java 7 appearance and due to lack of publicly available specifications
(including lack of a Java 7 JSR), we have decided to move the Java 7 development
work to a separate branch and decouple it from the 3.6 release. In that
branch we will continue to develop the Java 7 features as they become publicly
accessible. We will deliver separate updates for the official builds in
order to provide early access to Java 7 features. More details will be
sent out on this list when these separate downloads become available.
