Minutes News and Noteworthy Marcin: The platform has closed the proxy
bugz item. Proxy settings are now be consolidated in a single location
for reference by all plug-ins. Brian: Oracle announced Strategic
Membership Dennis: Bryan Hunt (via newsgroup) had
some confusion over Eclipse collaboration projects. He assumed that Marcin: It would be nice if Eclipse
projects would coordinate their exemplary applications to provide more a
cohesive solution. Paul: Need to follow-up w/ Technology
Project’s F2F that was held in January. API Refactoring Glenn: 1st pass focused on
removing dead code. Next step is focused on refactoring Container,
ContainerManager interfaces. Goal is to simplify the use of context
container. Pawel: Will there be changes to
configuration? Impact of SystemContainer could be large. Glenn: Configuration changes – yes.
Refactoring conflicts will cause some pain. Suggested use of time zone differences
between Glenn: Additional time is being spent
considering “new” design ideas instead. Marcin: “A lot of time!” Jim: Suggested that we expose extended
methods for web services. Glenn: Stated it was a design decision not
to expose the inherited methods. If the method is to be exposed, it must
be defined the referenced interface. Joel: It would be possible to use
annotations to govern what methods are exposed. We would need to define
either an “opt-in” or “opt-out” model. Dennis: Suggested this would be an
enhancement for Europa Release
Engineering Dennis: Every plug-in is required to have
an “about.html” that contains a brief description of the plug-in,
the EPL, as well as all 3rd party licenses. This will be
required for Pawel: no release engineering task have
been done this past week. Marcin: Should be no problem moving our
release engineering to Eclipse build server. Recommends we move to
Eclipse build server after next milestone build. Exemplary Implementation Marcin: Having been focusing how the
Project model (ProcjectContainer, UI, etc…) uses the collaboration
framework (ContextContainer, ContainerManager). Work has been done w/ API
Refactoring. Piotr: Refactoring
ProjectContainerExplorer to more generic ContextContainerExplorer (CCX). Support
for specific container type actions. Glenn: Can provide custom actions now,
however, they are subject to change “location” due to API
Refactoring. Piotr: Jackrabbit repository access can be
done in background. J Marcin: CCX is now independent from
Project model. Needs to reside in its own plug-in, not in a “project”
plug-in. Piotr: Request other team members
test/verify CCX to provide feedback. Server-Side Test
Framework Pawel: A few server-side tests are being performed
during each build. Marcin: We should the Eclipse releng test
framework for build process. JUnit 3.81. is required. Marcin: The WSDM test framework would be
better to use as an exemplary way to perform server-side testing. Dennis: Q: is the Eclipse releng test
framework appropriate for server-side test framework? Marcin: yes Open Issues Glenn: Having some issues using the SVN
client with Eclipse 3.3M5. Joel: Suggested try using HTTPS. But
you will need an Apache ID for accessing Joel: Do we want to generics w/ web
services? Glenn/Jim: yes – need them for
collection classes Marcin: Would like to use generics to
expose repository interfaces (ex: IRepositoryAdapter) Glenn/Marcin: some discussion on use of
generics (to be continued offline) Dennis: Can a WSDL be created for Joel: not yet – but soon Joel: what is more important – WSDL or
generics? Dennis: move this debate to dev mailing
