[eclipse.org-architecture-council] Agenda items for today's meeting

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FYI,

 

I added 2 agenda items for today, more items welcome:

git at Eclipse - current state of affairs

• is Git for Committers still up to date with bug 280583 complete for the read-only git of all of Eclipse
• could instructions be simplified for the most common use cases:
  • Getting source for a plugin I want to change
  • Adding a branch for a patch of mine
  • Rebasing my branch to a new milestone

target platform docs

• Today, all searchable documentation is for the development host (e.g. o.e.platform.doc.isv)
• When I develop against multiple target platforms, how can I access correct documentation?
• Sample use cases:
  • Use Eclipse 3.6m4 development host but work on the R3_5_maintenance brach as target platform
  • WTP: Documentation for the server-side target e.g. servlets
  • CDT: Documentation for the C runtime I develop against
  • RT/Equinox: Documentation for the target I develop against
• Any known solutions? What are people doing today?
• What could be done from an architectural point of view?

 

Cheers,

Martin
