| Re: [eclipse-pmc] Mars (4.5) Release Review Material |
|
Hi Dani, Great work – very informational while not too verbose, and well structured. I like it a lot, thanks to the author(s) for great work, +1 approved ! Some minor comments – mostly cosmetic: 1.
Clicking the planurl (“Mars Plan”) doesn’t work for me, perhaps you need
https://www now instead of http://www ? This URL worked for me though the styling looks a bit basic:
https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/plans/eclipse_project_plan_4_5.xml
2.
In the overview, you mention “performance and stability” though later on you also mention “usability” as a theme. To me, bringing back Perspective Customization/Export/Import in Mars is a significant
achievement in the Usability sector so I think it would make sense exposing that a bit more prominently.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=378811
isn’t even mentioned in the N&N or the Plan at the moment ?!?
a.
Might make sense wording the overview “For more details, see the Mars Plan and the New & Noteworthy below.”
3.
Architectural Issues section: “More APIs have been released” in this context sounds like it’s a problem or a bad thing ? But likely wasn’t meant that
way. Perhaps move the “More APIs” sentence under the “API Certification” headline ? 4.
Non-Code Aspects section: “Open accessibility bugs”
would be good if hyperlinked to a bugzilla query 5.
Usability section: “Eclipse User Interface Guidelines” should
be a clickable hyperlink 6.
End of Life section: The “deprecated API removals” hyperlink points to cgit master, would it make sense pointing to a tag or branch instead for 4.5
?
a.
In the documented, consider changing the headline “API removals after June 2015” to “Planned API removals after June 2015” 7.
Communities section – Would be good to have clickable hyperlinks for http://planeteclipse.org ,
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/IRC and
http://stackoverflow.com 8.
PDE – would it make sense to talk about the situation in “PDE Build” versus Maven / Tycho, in the “Architectural Issues” section ? – There is some
confusion around these two in the wider Plugin Developers Community I think (“Is PDE Build deprecated? Is it still supported ? Do I have to switch to Tycho?”) . Thanks, Martin -- Martin Oberhuber, SMTS / Product Owner – Development Tools,
