Re: [tools-pmc] TCF would like to piggy-back on the Oxygen RC4a respin

Hi Alex,

Thanks a lot for your +1 !

According to my information, the next step is "The Tools PMC Planning Council representative needs to take it to the Planning Council for discussion and approval"

Since you seem to represent tools at the PC, could you take it from here?

I haven't seen any public PC discussion regarding the respin so far, and I don't want to push for it since we just piggy-back ... just trying to make sure that things don't get lost in translation :) See also

Thanks,

Dear Tools PMC,

The TCF project would like to piggy-back on the Oxygen RC4a respin on
Tuesday (in case it happens), and requests tools-pmc support for this as per
the Simrel exception process.

Our rationale:
When updating our releng / build infrastructure after our Oxygen
contribution, it turned out that newer build JRE required a newer Tycho,
which in turn uncovered one invalid pom.xml (that did not cause any issues
with older Tycho). Bottomline: our binaries contributed to Oxygen are fine,
but nobody could build it from source unless using Java 7 with Tycho-0.22 .
This is not a blocker for users (so we'd not request a respin just for
that). But we'd much appreciate cleaning this up, to make our Oxygen
binaries consistent with the source builds so we'd like to piggy-back if a
respin occurs.

TCF is not in any epp package, and I'm not aware of any downstream consumers
on simrel so the risk should be minimal.

Our updated contribution has been made available as rc4a . A Gerrit for
simlrel is ready and verified by Simrel Hudson, so this can merge if the
tools-pmc / planning council agrees on the respin:
https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/99564/

I'll be happy to answer any questions, and would like to requests the
tools-pmc's support at the planning council.
+1 From Tools PMC. Being able to build from source is one of the major
virtues of FOSS.

Thanks!
Martin

Hi,

Respin of RC4 is scheduled for Tuesday, June 20th, if the fix is in and
no additional blockers have been found by Monday night CET.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Regards,

Fred

Hi all,

the Oxygen RC4 packages are ready for testing at

while testing the RC4 Java package, I discovered an issue related to the
"nature autodiscovery" feature recently introduced (by the Eclipse
Marketplace Client?) that I consider a blocker for Oxygen (hence Cc'ing
to cross-projects).

Creating a new *Java* project with the Eclipse IDE for *Java* Developers
complains that it doesn't have support for the Java nature (which it
does) and that JDT needs to be installed (which already is). This is
obviously not a good first impression.

See Bug 518336 [1] for details.

Best wishes,

Andreas
