[wtp-dev] Status of P2 builds, JUnits, and Smoke tests

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Now that I've slept on it, I'd like
to get the JUnit's running before we declare, so just as well do that before
we do formal smoke tests. 

But, if you'd like to do extra testing
this week (which I would recommend) you could go ahead and try the latest
build from the platform (I20080327-0100) and just confirm your main scenarios.
 

Also, the server and JEE team may want
to take a look at these bugs to see if it is an issue for you
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=224382
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=224384

Note: even though the platform apparently
handles dropins in the old directory now, please do not use that feature,
since we expect movement away from that model by many users, and we want
to make sure we run ok when our plugins are installed elsewhere. 

I will cancel the currently running
JUnit tests, and move the build up to I20080327-0100 ... and will investigate
disabling P2 for JUnit tests ... just until the long startup time issue
is fixed. 

Updates at 2 PM status meeting!
