Re: [eclipse-pmc] Photon (4.8) Release Review Material

Overall, I am +1.

Some thoughts...

One minor point In the platform debug plan, where I see:


I'm fine with labelling things like this "partially delivered", if the benefits couldn't be realized because some particular enhancements didn't get finished. However, if the set of enhancements that *were* delivered would be separately beneficial, then I would trend toward declaring the item DELIVERED, even if there is additional work to be done next release. The reason is that, with something as open ended as "improve usability" there is *always* more work that can be done.

In the N&N, where it talks about modifying project natures it says "some natures may not properly handle manual addition/removal, so using this can lead to some inconsistencies in those cases". For my own edification, what is the plan for getting those cases fixed? (I'm thinking of, for example, what Apple does when you start a 32-bit app now, where it says "the developer need to update this application...", or something like that).

Also, reading through the JDT N&N reminds me once again of how awesome a powertool it is for Java developers! I couldn't help but wonder though, if I was a Java noob, would I be able to find and configure all the myriad of options that are available. It might make sense to take another round of thinking about the new user XP (doc, guides, progressive disclosure, etc.) in future releases.

Dear PMC Members,

please review the
Photon (4.8) release review materialand respond with feedback to this list. As agreed before, this comes in a minimal version. Please respond whether you approve or decline the review by May 30,

As already with the previous releases, the IP Log is no longer attached to the release review record. You can review it here:
https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16480.
NOTE:
There seems to be a problem with a very old bundle that never caused an issue but has no CQ. Alex, I also tried to add you to that CQ, but it said: "CC:akurtakov@xxxxxxxxx did not match anything"

The review itself is tracked by
bug 535136: [release] Eclipse Photon (4.8).

Thanks,
Dani
