8/15 Deadline for "Hot bugs" to be proposed from adopters.
9/15 Release candidate
9/29 1.5.1 Release (as part of Callisto Maintenance Release)
1Q 2007 1.5.2
[action]
Jeff to add a paragraph about breaking changes to non-APIs
Ted - Does some sort of facet ID migration
utility sound like something we can put in for 1.5.1?
Ted - These are internal IDs that may
have changed between 1.0 and 1.5. There IDs are stored in the facet XML
file.
Arthur - Not something we want to do
in a maintenance release. Something that we should do for 2.0
3.1 Hot Bugs [1] - Jeffrey Liu
[1] https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=%5Bhotbug%5D&classification=WebTools&product=Web%20Tools&target_milestone=1.5.1%20M151&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED
3.2 Hot Bugs Requests [1] - Jeffrey Liu
[1] https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=%5Bhotbug_request%5D&classification=WebTools&product=Web%20Tools&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED
David - Bugs 149670, 149673, 149807
and 149815. These JEE 5 enhance requests are too much of a change for a
maintenance release. In 1.5.1, we can probably do things like better toleration
for unknown artifacts
4. Component-level Planning - Tim Wagner
Tim - We have started the planning effort for 2.0. At
the project level, we have items like JEE 5 support, the primary supported
VM, etc. We also need some component level planning. I want to pull component
leads for inputs.
Arthur - Previously this was done using a mix of bugzilla
and milestone XML files. We should continue to use bugzilla to track individual
items, but we need something better for overall user/adopter presentation.
Proposal from Arthur:
On the telecon today we discussed the
use of Bugzilla as the primary way to record plan items. One of the problems
is that there will be a lot of items and we need a better way to group
them, for example, into Themes. I suggest we use the URL field in Bugzilla
for this purpose.
We should define Theme documents on the Wiki. These documents can point
to more detailed specs in our Web site. We should use the Theme documents
to classify the Bugzilla entries by entering the URL of the Theme document
in the Bugzilla URL field. We can then develop reports that group Bugzilla
entries by URL.
We can also use the Theme documents to provide some level of hierarchy,
say by adopting a naming convention for the URLs or using fragment ids
for subtopics on a Theme page.
In the past, we generated Milestone Plan reports from Bugzilla by running
a script and committing the generated report to CVS (which then refreshes
the Web site). This meant that the reports were always slightly out of
date. We should convert these scripts to PHP so they are executed on demand
and therefore always up to date.
Tim - Any items from individual components?
Tim - Alignment of the proxy preference pages?
Tim D./Chris - We need to make sure the Eclipse proxy
preference page will provide all the functionality that the WTP proxy preference
page provides. If so, we can remove the WTP proxy preference page.
5. Other Business -
Open
David - First WTP 2.0 milestone is 8/24. Theme is bug
fixes and Eclipse 3.3.
Arthur - Will we cut over to Java 5?
Not at this point.
Tim - Any support for annotation will need Java 5. Java
5 will be the primary platform. Dependency on Java 6 will need to be handled
delicately.
David - Just a reminder that we should not introduce unnecessary
Java 5 dependencies
[action] Jeff to
add Java 5 discuss to next week's agenda
