[eclipse-dev] Planning Meeting
02/28/2006 03:17 Notes - Mar 1, 2006
PM
Please respond to
"General
development
mailing list of
the Eclipse
project."
------------------
Discussion Topic
------------------
Platform/JDT Text:
- do we want/need a 'polish' dynamic team like we had one for 3.1?
--------
Status
--------
Platform/JDT Text:
- fixed save operation's handling of characters that cannot be mapped
using the given encoding
- continued with quick assist support
- collected polish items
- eclipseCon tutorial preparation (in progress)
- bug fixing
- bugzilla inbox tracking
JDT UI:
- preview in Clean Up wizard
- new Clean Ups:
- qualify static and non-static method accesses
- remove 'this' qualifier for non-static field and method accesses
- make 'final' where possible (private fields, parameters, local
variables)
- new Quick Assist:
- change modifiers of variable to final
- experimenting on decorators on CU /classfile if class or interface is
in file
- released wizard to automatically fix deprecations
- added ability to perform supertype analysis to Pull Up refactoring
- enabled AST recovery for refactorings affecting only 1 file:
- allows refactorings in files with syntax errors
- please watch out for problems and file bugs
- Java search: added filter for potential matches
- investigated memory leaks
- UI polishing
- bug fixing
- EclipseCon preparation
- released equals & hashCode patch for core.expression
Debug:
- bug fixing
- M6 Planning:
- posted draft plans for debug platform and jdt debug
- investigating performance test failures:
- discovered the toString() computation is not slower, but the test i
now measuring more updates
- added "fitlered tree" support in launch dialog
- attended DSDP meeting:
- gave progress report on enhanced debug platform, received feedback
from early adopters
Workspace:
- grouping by date in history view
- working with adopters of EFS file systems
- EclipseCon, Eclipse in Motion prep
JDT Core:
- M6 planning
- improving null reference analysis (recognize more patterns)
- for 1.5 targets (or when toggling preference for Inlining
Finally Blocks), the compiler is inlining finally blocks at
every exit point inside a try statement. With fix for bug
128705, the inlining got smarter, and identical exit point
are now sharing the same inlined finally block (to be truly
identical, exit points must denote the same break/continue
label, or be return from void method, or return the same
constant or null value.
- fix for bug 127628 required the index version to be incremented.
Indexes will be automatically regenerated upon subsequent
search queries (accounting for indexing notification in
search progress dialogs).
- bug fixing
Platform UI:
- general:
- properties view enhancements
- high contrast features
- ICU4J: scheduled integration of ICU v3.4.3, replacement plugin
- update field assist support and example to support latest proposed
visuals
- API reviews
- look into editor lifecycle support for the common navigator
- preparation for EclipseCon
- UI polish
- commands:
- performance work on handlers (Bug 126901)
- common navigator:
- discussed M6 plan and API changes with Michael Elder
- JFace:
- proposal to push field assist policy into JFace API
- logical model support:
- continued working on save lifecycle support
- performance:
- examining M5 results, identifying false positive results
(e.g. some don't have 3.1 baseline results)
PDE:
- added support for the new <?eclipse version="3.2?>:
- this instruction is needed only for developers to take advantage of
the extension namespace support
- new plug-in projects are generated with this instruction
- investigating performance of opening manifest editors and building the
state
- added support to reload the target platform directly from the target
editor
- splash screen section of the product editor now allows the customization
of an embedded startup progress bar/message
- Feature Import wizard revamped
- SDWest preparation
- bug fixing
User Assistance:
- work continues on dynamic content search issues (refiltering the
search results)
- welcome:
- Universal Welcome in today's build (using classic Eclipse theme)
- work still ongoing
- cheat sheets:
- flushing out composite cheat sheet flow of control
- working on remaining composite cheat sheet work items
- linkability:
- working on the link authoring utility (will be published on the
UA home page)
- started adding live help links in various places of the SDK
documentation:
- the links that open dialogs (most of them) critically depend on the
ability to see the help window while in the modal dialog (bug 95478)
- we have re-enabled the Help code that uses separate Display to show
the Help window
Update:
- investigating the possibility of adding update site digest support to
minimize downloading large number of feature JARs for site browsing and
searching (to support Callisto downloads and searches)
- file handle or memory leak suspected in Update that prevents full
Callisto download -- investigating
- bug triage _______________________________________________
