 Discussion Topics 
------------------- 

McQ: 
- There doesn't seem to be much interest in sending me status messages
  any more. Is there something I can do to fix this, or should I just
  give up? 

---------- 
 Outreach 
---------- 

- Eclipse was invited by O'Reilly Publishing to participate in the Open
  Source Innovation Center at Comdex this week.  Response is
split between 
  "what is Eclipse" and "Eclipse is better than sliced
bread".  Its great to 
  see that people are finding Eclipse useful and to let others know
what 
  Eclipse can do for them. 

- Dorian Birsan to do Eclipse presentation for 3rd year students of McGill
  University, Montreal (Nov 20th)

 Status 
-------- 

Rel Eng: 
- changes in Releng JUnit tests so that chkpii warnings are ignored.
  - warnings will be shown in chkpii logs
- new improved version of RelEng Plug-in now available (3.0.0)
  thanks to Team team 
- test builds without org.apache.xerces plug-in.  Should be able to
exclude 
  this plug-in from set of 3.0 M5 plug-ins used to run PDE Build and
Ant 
  headless 
- work on automated build infrastructure template and related doc ongoing

Equinox: 
- tying up loose ends in preparation for making Equinox "the"
runtime 
  next week 
- found and resolved the issue that was stopping us from running end-to-end
  scenarios in the WSAD example case.  (turned out to be a problem
finding 
  resources in the default or non-code bearing package)
- no new performance work as the focus has been completeness
- working with Install/Update and Help to resolve their issues

Help: 
- OSGi: Fixed selfhosting with Help JSPs 
- OSGi: Cannot launch embedded Help in a separate process (class path issues
- 
  Help makes 'interesting' calls to runtime to be able to do it).
Users must 
  switch to the system browser to be able to see help
- Lucene upgraded to 1.3 RC2 
- Tomcat upgraded to 4.1.29 
- bug fixing 

PDE: 
- removed dependency on Xerces in today's integration build
- fixing remaining RCP aftershock issues 
- dDynamic classpaths seem very stable. The only known issue that remains
is 
  the volatile .project file (see bug #46668 for details)
