Re: [epp-dev] EPP Juno RC4 build

Hi,

bad news from the modeling package.

The CDO team introduced, by mistake, a new action only meaningfull in debug scenarios : "EFS TEST". Any end user clicking it ends up with an Eclipse which get stuck for about one minute and ends up with timeout errors. It is contributed in every perspective.

It has been introduced in CDO very late  (2012-06-12) explaining how we missed it before RC4.

I don't think this would qualify as a ship-stop bug, but it is quite bad from a modeling package point of view.

I see two feasable options, maybe three:
1 - removing the CDO contribution from the package and rebuilding the modeling package (we can even use the very same update-site used to build the RC4 packages as we won't depend on some changes in the Juno repository). I did commit the disablement of CDO (05290c9852f9d7ac21e240b0aedc01560e5fdb52) . Using the discovery UI we will be able to make CDO installable from an update-site containing a fixed build, without impacting the Juno one.
2 - live with it, but as I said before the result is quite bad, so if you feel option 1 is doable that would be great!
3 - any plugin_customization magic ? in any case It would require the package to be rebuilt so I feel option 1 would be safer.

Can we do something ? any opinion ?

Hi package maintainers,

now we've got a build available that I think could be the final RC4 build:

  http://build.eclipse.org/technology/epp/epp_build/juno/download/20120614-1725/

Upgrades etc. can be tested with the RC4 p2 repositories at

  http://build.eclipse.org/technology/epp/epp_build/juno/download/20120614-1725/repository and
  http://download.eclipse.org/releases/staging

There are some 'special' things that I should mention:

(1) Bug 382574 - An internal error occurred during: "Indexing help...".
The workaround that we came up with includes adding a new Java property to the eclipse.ini file. With this property set, the search in the Eclipse Help system should work even in case someone installs the higher version of the Apache Lucene library from the Juno repository at a later time. But it is important that you test the search in your package to make sure there are no bad side effects.

(2) There won't be the usual 'release' of the packages from eclipse.org/downloads tomorrow/Friday. RC4 has always been a 'quiet' release. If you send your +1's these packages will be the final ones that will be released on June 27th.

Huh, it's going to be a longer list... I hate such lists... :)

(3) Test the packages... if you find errors, try to find a workaround and document it. If you find a stop-ship bug, well, in that case we need to find a solution. In most cases this means that we need to rebuild (and test!) all packages again.

(4) Test the packages early... and send your vote to the list as usual. I'd like to push them to the Eclipse mirror servers beginning of next week to give them enough time to sync. And before doing so, I need your votes...

Good, I'll stop for now...

Thanks,
Markus
