| [wtp-dev] WTP and DTP collaboration |
|
The first meeting to discuss collaboration between WTP and
DTP in building a flexible “plugin discovery” infrastructure was held
yesterday. In attendance were the following people: Tim deBoer (WTP) Brian Fitzpatrick (DTP) Konstantin Komissarchik (WTP) Angel Vera (WTP) David Williams (WTP) It was generally agreed that this would be a
positive undertaking and commitment to contribute to the effort was expressed
by various members of WTP and DTP teams. The sticky issue is where to host the
shared code. Several possibilities were discussed without any conclusions being
reached. 1. A new project. 2. Try to get this into P2. 3. Re-wire WTP build to produce a separate distro
that would be consumable by DTP. We agreed to start a wiki to begin collaborating on
the requirement. We also agreed to meet again next week at the same time for
follow-up discussion (especially the issue of where to host this effort). Wiki: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Plugin_Discovery Meeting info for next week’s meeting: 21-Oct-2008 10:00 AM PST 1-888-967-2253, code 388649, pw 388649 In addition to this, another area for possible WTP
and DTP collaboration was brought up. In particular, the effort to create a
single servers view based on the common navigator framework that would show app
servers, databases, etc. The idea being to remove the individual views now
present in WTP and DTP. Again, there was general agreement that this would be a
positive step. Some work on this is already in progress on several bugzilla
bugs with interesting contributions coming from JBoss. The same where do we
host this effort question was brought up for this item. No resolution was
reached. Do we need anything (like a meeting) to organize
this second effort or is the activity on the bugzilla bugs sufficient for now?
