+1 to Alex opinion. Our target should be to longer the entrance barriers
for new contributors not increase them.
Especially in SWT Win and Mac in which only very few committers are active.

Hi All,
In order to speed up the patch review cycle, we have framed a checklist
of testing that's needed against an SWT patch submitted for review.
Here is the complete list that needs to be associated with the patch:- Results of the
test snippet (if any) associated with that specified bug.
- Results of the
Widget's new behavior(if applicable) as tested with various SWT examples:
ControlExample.java, CustomControlExample.java and BrowserExample.java
- For changes done
to any specific widget, which all related SWT snippets are covered from
the list of: SWT
Snippets.
- When adding a
new API always add new JUnit tests as separate gerrit patch(as gerrit validation
will only succeed when the new API is in master and an IBuild exists)
- For Windows only
patch, which all operating systems are covered like Windows7, Windows10(at
times specific version of Win10 if applicable)
- For MAC only patch,
patch should be tested on latest OS version.
- For Linux only
patch, which all GTK versions are covered (GTK3, GTK4 or both) and also
if applicable what all desktop managers(gnome, wayland etc..) are covered.
- For patches across
multiple platform, the patch should have been tested on all affected platforms.
- Also if you expect
some behavior change in Eclipse, always launch Eclipse in self-hosted mode
to verify the behavior.
Same entry added to SWT FAQ page: https://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#swtpatchtestingdetails
I appreciate the list but we have to tone it down. If all these things
are mandated before a patch is even looked at I can assure you that very
few people (if anyone) contributes back. Currently a lot of these
verifications happen from reviewers/committers (at least for the GTK port)
as it is simply not reasonable to expect someone contributing on their
free time to invest in having all the complicated infrastructure to do
these checks.
So all these should become like - "Patches satisfying all the items
on the list may/will be reviewed with priority".
Regards,
Niraj Modi
