2. Community update
- Lawrence Mandel
- Great conference, tons of people.
- I did a talk on Web services. Well
attended, about 150 people. 90% of the people used Eclipse before, 50%
used WTP.
- Demo WTP 1.5 RC2.
- Talked a bit about Callisto, JSF,
Dali.
- People were interested in what's new
in 1.5 and what's coming in 2.0. Interested in Java EE 5.0. Also interested
to know if they can use WTP to automate testing for their application.
- At the exhibit, there were lots of
interest in Java EE 5.0 tools and Callisto.
- People were interested in graphical
editing support in WTP (we only have WSDL and XSD at the moment). People
were looking for graphical editing for JSP, JSF, etc.
- Received both positive and negative
comments about WTP. For example, someone commented that WTP doesn't work
well in a team environment.
- NetBeans has some really nice tools
in it!! Encourage people to play with it and learn about things that they
did well.
3. WTP 1.0.3 Status - David Williams
David - First 1.0.3 M build this week. Thanks. We probably don't need to smoke test each week since the number of fixes going in is small.
3.1 WTP 1.0.3 approved bugs [1] - Jeffrey Liu
[1] http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/plans/1.0.3/ramp-down-bugs-approval.html
Jeff - There are 4 bugs under evaluation, PMC members, please review them and cast your votes.
4. WTP 1.5 Status
Updated approval process for WTP milestones [1]
[1] http://www.eclipse.org/projects/callisto.php
David - We will declare an I-build this week, please smoke test.
David - We want to declare RC4 next Wednesday. So, we'll smoke test again next Tuesday.
David - After next Monday night, no more fixes unless it's blocking.
David - Fixes in RC4 only need component lead approval. Also, send a note to the dev list with the bugs that were fixed.
David - After RC4, PMC approval. We'll hold as many calls as needed in order to speed up the approval process.
Kathy - What's the exact process for requesting approval?
David - Note to the dev list.
Kathy - Will a Web page be available?
Jeff - Yes, I'll create a Web page.
David - We have a code freeze after RC4. After code freeze, only serious bugs will get fixed and they will require PMC review.

4.6 Bugs to be Triaged

work! QA owners should triage these bugs.

4.7 Bugs Targeted to
Past Milestones/Release Candidates [1] - Jeffrey Liu
5. Other Business -
Open
Jeff - Treat TVT bugs like other bugs.
If there's nothing to be fixed in WTP, resolve them as invalid.
Jeff - For translation bugs that concern
strings not being externalized, please add a comment in the bugzilla indicating
which plug-in, which properties file the strings are located.
Jeff - We have not done any accessibility
testing. Just a heads up, I'll try to get some accessibility checklist
by next week.
Kosta - I am concerned about the meaning
of the target milestone field. Problem is that there's no good way to indicate
which milestone a bug will be fixed in. We have bugs that were targeted
to 1.5 M6, then rolled over to 1.5 RC1, RC2, etc... I propose we have a
general target called 1.5. If a bug is intended to be fixed in 1.5, but
we don't know exactly which milestone it's going to be fixed in, then we
set it to this target.
Lawrence - I am concerned that people
will just target all their bugs to 1.5, and eventually the ones that we
cannot fix will just get rolled over to 2.0, etc...
We ran out of time, the discussion will
be continued on the mailing list.
Thanks,
There are currently 45 bugs targeted to 1.5 M4, 1.5 M5, 1.5 M6, 1.5 RC1,
1.5 RC2 and 1.5 RC3. These milestones and release candidates have already
been declared. Bug owners should retarget these bugs.
