[wtp-releng] Smoke test postponed for Helios SR2 RC4 candidate

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Out latest build at 

http://build.eclipse.org/webtools/committers/wtp-R3.2.3-M/20110210015622/M-3.2.3-20110210015622/

has only one bug fixed, from last week's,
so is nearly final ... BUT, I also changed the JDT compiler; for reasons
described in bug

336780
- react (possibly) to compiler change in maintenance stream 

So, we have a "team decision" to make (relatively
quickly). Should we move to the new compiler? Or stick with old one? 
If we want to do the former, then we have about 7 bundles
to re-tag to make sure we get the changed byte codes in our distribution.

If we decide to stay with the old one, then we could use
that build referenced above. 

If anyone has any strong opinions, feel free to express
them. We will discuss at 2:00 (Eastern) status meeting and decide at that
time to rebuild, or stick with what we have. 

Normally, I'd recommend to get current, re-tag the bundles,
and rebuild. But ... that is extra work and time, and introduces a small
risk of "changed, little tested" byte codes and my _guess_ is
that is doesn't really matter one way or the other. But ... I did not want
to decide without others opinions ... both, your opinions and I have asked
the "JDT Community" on original bug
336544. 

Please comment in bug 336780
if you have any opinions to go one way or the other. In either case, this
will put off our smoke tests until late Thursday, or Friday. Apologies
for the last minute delay. 

Thanks,
