Review bug backlog, builds, and plans.
David - Some changes were just released and a build is going right now. People should pick up this afternoon's build and smoke test it.
David - No more bug fixes unless note to David or to mailing list.
Discuss how to have more "on-time" builds.
David - The issue is we are not on time with the I-builds. I-builds were not tested until Friday, and in return, we cannot declare an I-build until very late in the day. Any suggestions on how to be on time?
Jeff - Disable continuous build after the Thursday deadline?
David - Not convenient if we do need to drop blocking fixes.
Ted - No check in on Thursday except smoke test fixes.
Chuck - Push forward the deadline for checking in fixes.
Here's the new process for declaring I-builds:
===================================
Thursday 2 AM (Eastern):
All code
for weekly I-build release by Thursday 2 AM
Thursday 5 AM (Eastern):
Weekly
I-build candidate ready
Teams
should "smoke test" the I-build on "committers" area,
be
Thursday
7 PM, at latest.
Blocking
bugs found can be released, but should have clear
bugzilla,
with post to wtp-releng "requesting respin"
(even
though, for now, we'll leave it automatic, please
consider
it a request).
Thursday 7 PM (Eastern).
Note
to wtp-releng confirming tested and "ok" or "not ok".
(the
later requiring a bug, and "plan" to get ready for re-spin).
Friday noon
Any teams
releasing code for blocking bugs, must have verified
all ok
by Friday noon, and send confirmation to wtp-releng.
Weekly
I-Build announced and promoted to "downloads" area.
====================================
Discuss disconnected testing.
David - As part of our weekly I-build testing, we'll have two teams test in disconnected mode. We'll rotate around. David will include the teams to be testing in the disconnect mode when he sends out the note asking for "go" or "no go".
3. WTP 1.0 Performance - Jeffrey Liu
Review the Top Ten performance problems and the fix plan for them.
Jeff - Opened bugs for single jarring.
Jeff - A couple of performance problems came in last week, I'll create testcases for those.
4. WTP 1.0 API Scans - Jeffrey Liu
Review the status of the API scans including our Javadoc and JUnit coverage, errors in the API, and violations of the Eclipse Platform API.
Jeff - Opened bugs for API violations. One for each component.
Jeff - Component leads, please review the reports. For each violation, either fix it or open a "request for API" bug against the prereq.
5. WTP Features and Subsystems Status [1] - David Williams
[1] http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/development/arch_and_design/subsystems/SubsystemsAndFeatures.html
David - Committed the WST fixes. Testing with HEAD builds.
David - Found some cases where dependencies weren't quite right. Need to discuss the details with owner of those components
David - Target to complete WST next week.
David - Notice Jeffrey has some fixes to the features (single jar)..... Does your fix need to be released?
Jeff - My fix can wait.
6. Flexible Project Development Status - Chuck Bridgham
Chuck - This week, we just dropped a bunch of changes. We removed some component APIs (virtual component).
Chuck - Some functions may not be working in this week's I-build
Chuck - J2EE, EJB, Web project are working. Integrated into existing wizard. You can create project using the wizard.
Chuck - App client and some others not working. They are targetted for next week.
Chuck - When you create projects, they will not be targetted to a server. The workaround is to set a Java container/server runtime manually.
[action] Konstantin and Chuck will send out a note regarding the workaround.
Kathy - Web service will not work in this I-build. Web service JUnit testcase will fail. We have not ported over to the new APIs yet. It will be next week before we have a functional driver.
7. Project Facets Development Status -Konstantin Komissarchik
Konstantin - Chuck covered most of it. Didn't hear much from Tim D. about the Tomcat bridge.
Kathy - We are a week behind. We need information from Tim D. on his API changes.
8. Other Business - Open
Susan - How come docs are not in the build? I've released my changes to the place where I should be releasing them to.
David - Doc build was removed from the "normal" build.
Susan - Reason why we like to see the new docs is because writers would like to set a date for components to review their docs.
[action] Susan, David, Lawrence to create a plan for docs.
Ted - Want to bring up a couple of critical bugs.
Ted - Bug 92426. Delete or rename WTP project, some of the metadata as well as deployment descriptor aren't updated. We'll help out in resolving that.
Ted - There are really two bugs in 92426, itt is the API portion of the bug that is critical. We'll open a new bug for that.
Ted - Another critical bug..... is export of modules working. Assembly of a module has moved from the build process to the publish process. We need to open a bug to track that.
Chuck - Pretty sure it's not working yet.
