Hello folks,
Our next call is 4 Dec, right in the middle of RC1 for 2019-12 release.
Thanks,
Jonah
Minutes
c. Try to make it that only features are relying on newest version of platform. This is how we did it in the past: https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/143148/
EclipseCon Europe Summary
- New IP Process for Dependencies
- CQ process going away
- as far as possible fully automated
- can be integrated into Maven builds
- Rolling out before all tools are in place
- Maven and npm already working, so we should be ok
- TODO (Jonah): Ping emo@eclipse if and when yarn is supported
- Planning on removing Project Navigator from the Platform
- New Arduino IDE based on Eclipse Theia
- Alpha version released
- Advanced mode with normal debugging functionality
- Demo of Tracecompass with traceprotocol in Theia
- Lots of rendering in server instead of IDE
- Progressing quite well
- Expressif talk
- Using core build cmake support
- Encountered a few issues
- Some API missing, patches have come and more in the future
- Lots of discussions about future Java versions
- GNU MCU Plug-ins
- Liviu gave overview of what it is (ARM and Risc-V)
- New project proposal to bring it to Eclipse
- Perhaps 1 more week until public
- TODO (Jonah): Notify cdt-dev once public
- Fred @ Eclipse Foundation convinced Liviu to bring it to the foundation
- General consensus is a new EPP package rather than add it
- Discussion needed on how to resolve different cross compiler support, GME and existing CDT is different
- Not much enthusiasm for cmsis, instead xpacks being developed to overcome limitations
- xpacks is an extension on npm modules, distributed by npmjs servers
- Other business
- Liviu discussed other features, especially new builder:
- xpack system has its own build system, including something that is equivalent to Managed Build in CDT and a future builder more akin to cmake
- https://xpack.github.io/xpbuild/files/xpbuild-json/
- Instead of xml file cdt uses, uses a JSON file
- Where does toolchain info come from? Either JSON or in the tool itself
- Where is code? npm application
- More detailed discussions happened on this topic that hasn’t been captured in the minutes.
