Re: [epp-dev] package-wise source code & bug data information
|
Thank you Markus for the reply.
In the case of Eclipse, if I want to get some information such as
coverage for Eclipse, etc. is it possible to find test suites or
integration test cases that have been used to test the final package of
Eclipse? I can reuse those tests after assembling Eclipse from the
source and try to find coverage report for Eclipse.
Is there any way to get such test cases?
Thanks,
Sandeep Krishnan

Hi,
first some words about the bugs: Each and every Eclipse project
defines one product and at least one component in Bugzilla. For the
EPP packages there is exactly one component for every package that may
be used by the users for filing bugs, but you cannot be sure what
users are really doing. If you are looking at a package details page
in the web (such as
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/heliossr1)
you will find numbers and queries to resolved and open bugs for this
particular package.
About the content: There is a list of features on the package details
page (see above for an example) that defines the packages content. But
please be aware that this list of feature is only a starting point for
the p2 director that tries to find a solution to the given
dependencies. So in the end there are *more* features installed in
every package. That about the features... now: Every feature includes
a set of bundles that are in the plugins directory of the package. All
these bundles are from Eclipse projects and you should be able to
guess from the bundle name which project created it. And these
plugins/bundles *are* your package (i.e. not the features!). IMO the
source doesn't help you that much, but maybe you should look at the
Usage Data Collector output (http://eclipse.org/org/usagedata/ - for
some unknown reason the data is currently unavailable).
Regards, Markus
