[wtp-dev] Status of our move to M4

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We're getting closer! 

With some help on how we can partially
fix 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=167695

I've moved our I-builds up to a near
M4 version of the Eclipse platform and EMF. 

But  we'll need to get the next
version of an M4 base build for the 
fix for 167695 to be complete. 

So, I think it worth looking at our
M4 based build at 
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/committers/drops/R2.0/I-I200612131512-200612131512/
but don't get too hung up if something
doesn't seem quite right ... 
at least if it depends on xerces! :)


In particular, those that depend on
JEM functionality can get started testing it 
and see if it works as we need it to,
with the existing version of JEM. 

We'll add a new version of the base
late this afternoon, so think we are still on 
track to get a good I-build by Thursday
morning, for smoke testing, and producing 
a candidate for our early M4 shutdown.


I'll also update to one of the DTP RC's
later today.
