JDT APT team:

JDT UI and Text:

  Call Hierarchy

  failing call

  so it can be used by Platform/IDE and other clients

  (expect a full rebuild with this week's integration build)
- investigated performance of the "Initializing Java Tooling" job
- still working on fine grained search
- still working on adding annotations to the Java model
  (thanks to all who gave feedback)
- bug fixing

Performance:
- 3.4 performance tests results for N20071015-0010:
  - need new baseline run (this should fix regression on
    JDT/UI "Organize Imports" test)
  - org.eclipse.core:
     - problem with "Core Headless Startup on one box:
       between -24% and -149% since the beginning
  - org.eclipse.jdt.core:
     - regression on indexing and some search tests
       between -1% and -8% (not confirmed by local
       results => wait for next results)
  - org.eclipse.jdt.text:
     - opened bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=206487
       for regression on "Activate 30 Java Editor" test
     - "Undo in text editor" looks suspicious: this test is now
       frankly negative on all boxes and since several builds.
       However, as the standard error is really big (around 20%),
       it's difficult to be 100% sure that there's real a
       regression...
  - org.eclipse.osgi:
     - problem with "State Resolution" test on all boxes: was +20%
       better in M1, but it is now back between -15% and +2%
       - regression since M1 between (-35% and -18%)
  - org.eclipse.pde.ui:
     - opened bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=206493
       for small regression on "Open Plug-in Editor: plugin.xml" test
  - org.eclipse.swt:
     - opened bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=206500
       for small regression on Linux boxes for "Layout Composites" test
- plan to release on Friday fixes for bugs:
  - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=198957
  - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=201469:
    - with improvements made for this bug, the time to generate the
      performance results HTML pages should be downsized from 2 hours
      to less than 10 minutes!
