Agenda for the STEM Call on February 8, 2018
Congratulations to Ahmad Swaid on his election as an Eclipse Committer!
1. Upcoming STEM Release identified earlier as Version 3.0.0 Milestone 5 will move to Eclipse 4.0 and thus be identified as version STEM Version 4.0
*For current workaround to problem with launcher on Mac go to
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/1084123/1753241/#msg_1753241
2. Project Updates
Emily: Taking course on Java programming using the Eclipse IDE this week; hopes to make call; updates included below (thanks, Emily)
*Problem running experiments with a different seed (on Windows) persists, will ask tutor at this week’s course
*Will firm up details on visit to Almaden once exact date set
*Question for Jamie: Any issue passing the –loadWorkspacePlugins option in the Java LoopReplace.jar?
*Getting different folders in the output (recorded simulations folder) when running headless as opposed to GUI; doesn’t log anything from the new compartments created in her disease model; also (less importantly) creates a folder for the population model
Tekla
*Status of work using Pajak, shape files; issues re infector/innoculator/initialize
Nereyda
*Take homes from Transportation Research Board Meeting in January
3. STEM Update: Ahmad
*Update on fix to icon problem (getting icons to show, not just red boxes)? Manual, distributed fix required?
*Full authorization from Eclipse? Branch repository checked in?
Per Jamie, all developers need to freeze new branch
*Decision prior to merge: What to do about build program? Help from Eclipse?
4. Documentation Updates
*Jamie: Fix to ant build in; documentation updated at
https://wiki.eclipse.org/STEM_Eclipse_Setup#Build_the_STEM_Denominator_Data
*Taras: Posts to Bugzilla re dropdown menu to select population, need to look for EMF setting (bug in XML files?); doc clarified (editing a scenario will affect all scenarios with the same object)
*Jamie and Stefan: For solvers using Apache math, put in link; improve documentation
*Emily: Will write up info to wiki on stochastic solvers after her course
4. Bugs
*Taras: Feature request (see item 4)
