Re: [eclipse-pmc] Exception for JDT/Core patch by the Object Teams Project
|
I can confirm this.
If Object Teams agrees to ship their code in a way that the patched JDT
Core plug-in isn't picked up unless their feature is explicitly installed
by the user. then I will approve this exception to ship something which is
in our namespace. Also, the plug-in and feature must be recognizable as
patched JDT Core version in the UI, either via bug 330338 or directly in
the names.

[eclipse-pmc] Exception for JDT/Core patch by the Object Teams Project
Dear PMC,
As you certainly remember the JDT/Core patch provided by the
Object Teams Project caused quite some discussion some weeks ago.
Just now I spoke to Dani and the essence was that he no longer objects
to what we are doing. Some of the details we spoke about:
Essential:
- accidental installation of the OT-version where the original was
expected
is effectively prevented by the approach from
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=330534#c8
(patch bundle non-greedily requires the patch feature)
RESOLVED.
Nice-to-have:
- visualization of patches:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=330338
It would be good if the UI would signal when a user is about
to install a patch. Currently two techniques are proposed
(per patch feature, per explicit attribute in patch bundle).
The Object Teams Project is fine with either solution.
- incremental touchpoint actions:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=329784
would need solving for co-existence with other features also using
Equinox adaptor hooks.
Given the Essential issue is solved, given Dani has expressed
his consent and given some (mild) progress on the Nice-to-have
bugs, I request an exception so that the Object Teams Project will
be allowed to release a bundle under the name org.eclipse.jdt.core,
marked by a version qualifier that includes the name "OTDT",
packaged and provisioned using a patch feature that is explicitly
marked as such.
The project is participating in the Indigo release train and plans to
request graduation soon.
Background and details of this patch are also documented in
http://wiki.eclipse.org/OTJdtCore
thanks,
Stephan
PS: given that this mailing list is the recommended way of
interacting with the PMC, the need to subscribe to the list prior
to posting is - cumbersome. Also a hint about this could help
on both
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/team-leaders.php
and
https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/eclipse-pmc
:)
