[wtp-dev] Proposal for WTP 0.7.1 GM

[Jeffrey Liu <jeffliu@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We are getting really close to the WTP
0.7.1 release. I would like to propose the following plan for our WTP 0.7.1
GM driver. I've consulted our prereqs on their plans to declare a GM driver
for their maintenance releases. Here is their status:

Eclipse - There will be an Eclipse build
this Friday (Sept. 23). This is the "planned" GM driver. No more
fixes are suppose to go in after this build, unless of course a blocker
comes up.

JEM - Declared already (JEM v1.1.0.1)

EMF - They have one fix left. They need
to respin their build with the translated property files. They need to
do this because EMF has this standalone mode where NL support cannot be
extended via NL fragments. This change should not affect WTP at all, and
it should be done either Thursday or Friday.

GEF - They are pretty much done. Chance
are, they are going to rename their latest M20050914 build to GM. Important
thing is, they don't have anymore fixes going in.

I think we should respin WTP when the
Eclipse driver is available on Friday and call that our RC build. We do
testing on that build. If test results look good and our prereqs do not
put in any other fixes, we'll just rename our RC build to GM. For teams
who have done the testing already, as long as the tests were carried out
using the latest maintenance drivers from our prereqs, then I think a quick
sanity test is sufficient. Let's discuss this in Thursday's status call.
Thanks for your attention.
