Re: [platform-releng-dev] Proposing rebuild of Juno RC3 ... never mind,

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Its been called to my attention there is
at least one other bug that's being considered for RC4. 
Bug 399287
- Widget is disposed exception if field editor left open when resuming
from a breakpoint 

Even if that bug doesn't go through,
it changes the "balance of probabilities", so rather than introduce
more stress, I think its best to wait and we'll just plan on needing an
RC4 after all. 

Plus, there's a technical question on
bug 398711, which, regardless of what answer it gets, I think should be
answered before we commit to putting in a release candidate. 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=398711#c17

Plus, Dani points out in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=398711#c9

"According to http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/plans/freeze_plan_4_2_1.php
[bugs past this point] also needs to announced to the whole PMC."

So, best not to rush.

See 
Bug
398711 - NPE in AbstractTreeViewer.getSelection
trying to select non-expanded nodes 

Still waiting to hear if SWT can be ready by those times, but, my advice
is if we can do it today, there should be time to "fit it in"
without delaying M5. 

If we had to wait till tomorrow, for example, then not so sure (windows
and mac unit tests tend to "queue up"), and probably better to
do for RC4. 

If anyone else has any opinions on it, please speak up, for example, if
you too need a rebuild but those times don't work for you, or if you already
know you will need an RC4, etc. 

If I don't hear any complaints, objections, or counter proposals by 2 PM,
I'll start the 3.8 build then, and the 4.2 build at 4 PM. 
(I would also proactively touch that examples.source feature, since comparator
"breaks" when swt updates their contribution ... no fault of
theirs).
