Re: [cosmos-dev] Candidate build - COSMOS-1.0.0-200708161250

[David Whiteman <David_Whiteman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to request approval for
defect 200419 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=200419) to
be included in COSMOS i5 build.   Schematron validation is failing
in deployed plugins.

Including this fix will ensure that
all JUnit tests pass, except a couple very low priority ones.

1. Explain why you believe this is a stop-ship defect. How does the defect
manifest itself, and how will users of COSMOS/ consuming products be affected
if the defect is not fixed?
This is a regression problem that has existed since we started shipping
our plug-ins in jar file format.  The net effect is that Schematron
validation is completely unavailable to the SML-IF validator.

2. Is there a work-around? If so, why do you believe the work-around is
insufficient?
Not really, unless the user wanted to convert the jar file to a directory
structure and also convert the manifest file to a plugin.xml by hand.

3. Is this a regression or API breakage? Explain.
Regression since i3.

4. Does this require new API?
No.

5. Who performed the code review?
To be determined. 

6. Is there a test case attached to the bugzilla record?
No the existing test cases cover this problem.

7. What is the risk associated with this fix?
Low.  Since it just involves a file path character, nothing that was
working before could be affected.  The worst it could do is keep things
working as they were before the rebuild.

8. Is this fix related to any standards that COSMOS adheres to? If so,
who has validated that the fix continues to adhere to the standard?
No.
