[eclipse-dev] Planning Meeting Notes - Feb 8, 2006

[Mike Wilson <Mike_Wilson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

[ A bunch of us are traveling this week, so there
may not be a formal status call... ]

-------- 
 Status
--------

JDT Core:
- added API class org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.IndentManipulation
to
  deal with indentations
- added API
    org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.CodeFormatter#createIndentationString(int)
  to return the indentation string corresponding
to the given indentation
  level
- access restriction warnings (discouraged & non-accessible)
can now be
  silenced using @SuppressWarnings("restriction").
Note: if certain
  restrictions are configured as errors, the
annotation has no effect.
- java projects can now depend on other Java projects
that have replaced
  the default builder with their own builder,
such as an Ant builder. We
  will now trust that the Ant build was successful
and propagate any
  changes to the affected class files. Note:
When projects are associated
  with the Java builder, it is able to track
structural changes to
  classfiles (signatures etc...) and only recompile
dependents of
  structurally changed classfiles. In the absence
of a Java builder on a
  prereq project, all modified classfiles will
be considered as
  (potentially) structurally changed; and thus
recompilation will be less
  optimal. 
- added an application to format code in a headless
environment. See bug
  75333 for details. 
- added API to ASTRewrite to get actual value of a
property as managed by
  the rewriter. See bug 96663 for details.

JDT UI:
- add new UI to configure the 'Null Reference' option
(Java > Compiler >
  Error/Warning)
- working on pre-delta computation for refactorings
- feedback to Platform/UI for FieldDecorations
- reviewing patches with support for JUnit4
- worked on JUnit view
- new Clean Up Wizard UI
- remove unnecessary block quick assist and clean
up
- working on 'Fix Deprecation' quick fix / action

- started performance testing
- bug fixing

Search:
- working on new text search UI
- ongoing work on APIs to use the text search engine
programmatically

Debug:
- bug fixing
- Investigating support for dynamic columns in debug
views, based on
  debug model
- EclispeCon preparation
- re-worked virtual, asynchronous tree viewer to render
an underlying
  "tree model" (see bug 125536)
- consolidated common set of Java launching property
testers for Java
  launch shortcuts. Provided patches to PDE and
JUnit launchers
- added support for Ctrl-Click on console hyperlinks
- added API to retrieve "show monitor" and
"show thread group" settings
- modified debug popup dialog constructurs to not
require a text viewer

Platform/JDT Text:
- finalized all APIs introduced in 3.2 and finished
Javadoc
- performance work:
  - investigated test quality
  - added statistics information to test results
  - investigating red performance tests (in progress)
- improved action enablement for non-workspace resource
in Java editor
- provided feedback for field assist and field decoration
support from
  Platform UI (in progress)
- bug fixing
- bugzilla inbox tracking

PDE Build:
- releng style builds from a product file

Runtime/Equinox/OSGi:
- investigation into a remote platform configuration
manipulator (not only
  the running instance)
- continued review of the runtime refactoring
- new org.eclipse.equinox.servlet api bundle added
to the equinox feature
- new framework adaptor hooks released
- added new bidi helper class (TextProcessor)
- released support for multiplexed URL stream and
content handler factories
- removing core.runtime dependancy from update.configurator
