3. WTP 0.7.1 Maintenance
Stream - Jeffrey Liu
Jeffrey - All NL fixes are in the build. I have a list of bugs that we need to triage for inclusion in the release. Let's review the candidate bugs now.
1. Srgjan Srepfler - Code completion
for taglibs imported from an external file with <%@include file="/WEB-INF/include/tags.jsp"%>
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=82333
[resolution] Approved.
2. Bob Foster - If two editors use the
2.x-compatible API, one or both doesn't work
Michael Giroux - agree
Mark - agree
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=96917
David - I think we can make 0.7.1 but
it requires some work. I recommend we investigate and fix if possible.
Tim - I agree that you should do the
research and review the impact.
[resolution] David to investigate
impact of this fix.
3. Jeffrey Liu - XSD graphical editor
memory leak
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=99468

4. Jeffrey Liu - 100% CPU for
over 3 minutes opening a directory in the Navigator view with over 2000
HTML files
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=106158
Jeffrey - This problem is caused by
eager parsing to determine encoding.
David - I have looked at it and have
an easy and safe fix. I'm waiting for Jeffrey to add the test to the performance
bucket and measure it before the fix.
[resolution] Approved.
[action] Jeffrey to add the test
to the bucket and measure the current performance before David fixes it.

in the bug report.

4. WTP 1.0 M8 Status - David Williams
All component leads should be prepared to discuss their milestone plans. Refer to WTP Roadmap for themes. [1]
David - We are building but the current I-build failed. We need smoke testing before declaring it at noon. There are larger changes in the works. Let's be sure this build is stable.
[action] David to send reminder to do testing on the I-build.
Lawrence - I am working on a milestone plan for Help, targetting October for translation.
Craig - No plan writen yet., Some content model and WSDL model will be APIs. had some late bugs around URI resolution. I will provide documentation on URI resolvers and end user guide on catalog and cache. The plan should be done by next week.
Chris - I have plans committed for M8, M9, M10. They are fairly complete. There will be public APIs for frameworks, command, Web service runtimes, Web service finder, and a couple dozen bugs planned.
David -My plans are published. The focus is on rolling out APIs in small chunks, first within WTP: model manager and structured documents.
Chuck - No plan published yet. I need to work with Ted on project features. Several APIs are planned: J2EE models for M8. I need to define a component layer and validate the data model with Chris. There are some bugs and additional function.
Larry - Just planning defect fixes for Data.
David - I have some bugs open on the model - UI split in the Data component.
Arthur - Recall that you need targetted bugs for all work items. We can then generate an accurate plan from Bugzilla
David - Naci and I have published a document on Feature definitions. I have added the dependencies.
Arthur - Layering is important for subsetting, i.e. one Feature should drag in minimal prerequites.
David - It's also important for internal management of complexity and the build.
Chris - We do have some Web service Explorer enhancements planned.

5. EclipseWorld Update - All Attendees
Arthur - This was a good event. There were lots of other project members, e.g. from Oracle and Versant. There were some problems due to lack of network access which affected validation.
Tim - There were also some deployment problems. However the JSP editor worked well.
Lawrence - There were lots of WTP talks - 7 or 8, and they were very well attended. Some talks had standing room only.
Tim - Yes, it was great. We met the Sybase DTP guys, and had very productive sessions working with Oracle and Versant on the EBJ 3.0 Persistence projects.
6. Other Business - Open
Tim - Bjorn has asked all projects to
houseclean their Web sites. We need to archive old plans.
Arthur - Remember to only accept contributions
via Bugzilla patches.
Chuck - I am working with Kosta to check
in Project Features. Which component should we use?
Kosta - There are several components,
UI, core, and stuff that is distributed across other components.
Arthur - Use common for now.
David - Will this be ready for M8?
Kosta - The code contribution has a
full implementation of our spec except for runtimes, plus Web, EAR, and
Utility features.
