[eclipse-dev] Planning Meeting Notes - Nov 24, 2004
|
[Yes, it's late. Sorry all. Component leads, please check out the
discussion topics at least.]
-------------------
Discussion Topics
-------------------
PDE:
- unsticking the RCP deployment support
- tactical or strategic solution?
Platform UI:
Key binding proliferation, and use of Alt+Shift bindings:
- we have way too many key bindings, leaving few available for
downstream plug-ins
- Alt+Shift key bindings are bad, conflicting with the trigger for
keyboard layout switching on Windows
- in general, Alt combinations are bad
- see the original accessibility guidelines off of the UI team's dev
resources page:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-ui-home/accessibility/index.html
- we should leverage multi-key sequences to reduce use of Alt combinations
- part of the problem is that teams adding a particular feature think it's
necessary to access that feature with a key binding, and have the power
to add the binding without any further review (following a piecewise,
greedy allocation algorithm)
- we need an overall program manager for the Eclipse SDK who will decide
which features merit a key binding, and decide which key bindings are
defined across the whole SDK
- can we agree on this, and who is the best person?

Outreach

Status
--------
Debug:
- option to redirect/multiplex console output to a file and/or console
- available on "Common" tab
- started work on J2SE5 work for JDI extensible connectors
- investigated UI for user defined logical structures
- variable value editors for Java variables, allows evaluations to be
performed when assigning a new value to a variable (with code assist)
- investigated use of working sets for breakpoint groups
- continuing API review of memory view
- enhancements to background content in debug view, allows for incremental
update in viewer avoiding collapse on refresh
- bug fixing
Ant:
- continued work on Ant debugger
- leak profiling
- bug fixing
JDT/Core:
- javadoc support can handle full 1.5 syntax
- completed DOM AST batching effort
- work on annotation support is making progress (starting generating some
attributes)
- added performance tests: AST creation, hierarchy computation, search
operation
- return type covariance addressed
- tuned semantics for generics
- progress on codeselecting parameterized code
- bug fixing (39)
Platform/JDT Text:
- bug fixing
- further improvement of performance tests:
-
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-text-home/3.1/performance_scenarios.html
- implemented and released performance meter that allows to count the
number of invocations of an arbitrary method based on JDI
- code cleanup:
- moved registration of all adapter factories from code to XML
declarations
- adapted schema files according to PDE proposal
- Javadoc cleanup
- removed usage of deprecated code expect in code ensuring backward
compatibility
- restructured code to reduce number of reported warnings
- extended SourceViewerConfiguration to provide access to all
IAutoEditStrategies for given document content types
- continued work on NLS tooling:
- added "Show in" support to Java Properties file editor
- fixed broken save of plugin.properties file
- finished Occurrences in File menu rework
- contributed to the preferences dynamic team:
- back/forward navigation
- continued restructuring editor preferences pages
User Assistance:
- prototyping new ideas in the UA space (XML conversion)
- continued discussion with RedHat about platform-specific help content
- minor bug fixes in classic Help
PDE:
- first iteration of the reworked dependency view released (discussion
ongoing on pushing the view down the stack to provide for generic
dependency presentation by JDT)
- knee-deep in schemas
- improve parsing
- reduce memory footprint
- investigate addition of multiple namespace support
- identifying 3.0.2 candidates (2 so far)
- bug fixing
- off dairy this week
Update:
- discussions with eRCP (embedded RCP) team on eUpdate (there are ideas
to partition Update so that a partial Update that fits into embedded
devices is made available)
- more OSGi interaction
- updated schemas with new attributes
- working with the runtime team on new versioning proposals
- better support for FTP update sites (FTP with authentication, support
for canceling connections to FTP sites)
- bug fixes (reacting to font changes in various places)
JDT/UI:
- theme J2SE 5.0:
- additional test cases for move refactoring
- improved AST view to show new API on bindings
- theme Ease of Use:
- ongoing: New Java project wizard
- preferences rework: breaking up compiler preference page, be ready
for more options
- continued work on showing working sets in package explorer
- Refactoring:
- finished support to adjust visibility for "non visible"
members to Move Method refactoring
- refactored Rename Local Variable into processor/participant
architecture
- ported performance tests to 2.1.3, 3.0 and 3.0.1
- bug fixing
Search/Platform:
- performance tests of new multi line text search
Rel. Eng.:
- eclipseCon abstract preparation
- added Solaris GTK sparc configuration to builds
- performance baseline data collection on Windows
- testing source build scripts for Linux gtk ppc and ppc64 (including
automated native library compilation)
- working on adding detection of update site mirrors
Platform Core:
- new history store implementation released (off by default). See message
on platform-core-dev mailing list for information on how to enable it
- new registry has been released....flushing out and fixing bugs
- working on document describing some of the issues surrounding
large-scale workspace development
- tracked down source of sporatic session test failures
- bug fixing
Platform UI:

- working on prototype for command stack (re: Undo/Redo support)
- cross team work
- Preferences dynamic team
- add links between pages
- navigation history
- prototyping search options
- view preferences
