Hi,
The XEclipse 1.0M2 release was supposed to be done on the 8th of
October but since I was on a trip I wasn't able to do it.
We need to replan its release.
Since Fabio has started working on it I'd like to know when we can
release it?
Fabio, would you be interested in being the Release Manager for
XEclipse and in doing the release of XEclipse 1.0M2 (I can explain to
you how to do it)?
I personally have too many releases and I'm being a bottleneck so I
need more volunteers for doing releases of XWiki products/extensions.
Thanks

I did a bit of "high level" refactoring on XEclipse that only touched
the surface (already committed).
I didn't go deeper because I would have broken the current build and
I think that low level changes are quite difficult to accommodate in
the current XEclipse structure.
In particular the caching logic should be revised because this is a
very sensible feature for the product and it should be as clean and
maintainable as possible and, of course, well tested. I am spending
some time on it trying factor it out as a separate component and I'll
post a version to be peer-reviewed soon.
There are some other things to be revised and, as I wrote in a
previous email, they are basically features that are not written
having in mind the "Eclipse-way" of doing things. But these are minor
changes and some of them have already been done.
So, to return to the release date issue, we could release XEclipse
1.0M2 as it is now, and plan another release with the all the
refactorings in 2 weeks (let's say monday 29)
WDYT?
Fabio, would you be interested in being the Release
Manager for
XEclipse and in doing the release of XEclipse 1.0M2 (I can explain to
you how to do it)?
Yes, I would be glad to do it!
As a side note: we should spend some time trying to figure out how to
integrate maven with PDE builds. Currently XEclipse is built as a
single plugin and this could not be enough. If we want to build it
(also) as a standalone RCP application (as the one I gave to some of
you), possibly made of different plugins (e.g., xeclipse.core,
xeclipse.ui) with a reference target platform that should also be
made available through the maven repository to developers, we will
need to fiddle a little bit with all of this because, as you already
know, maven and PDE are not very good friends :(
Cheers,
Fabio

+1, let's do it. I need to try the new conflict warning feature
though. Has anyone verified it works?
Ping me on irc when you're ready to release XEclipse 1.0M2.

I've used the maven PDE plugin from
http://mojo.codehaus.org/pde-maven-plugin/
I think it supports plugins, features and products. See
http://mojo.codehaus.org/pde-maven-plugin/examples/simple_product.html
Is a "product" the same as an RCP application?
Do you think you could work on modifying the maven build so that we
can release both an RCP application and a plugin?
Thanks

Hi Vincent,
Came back from home just yesterday, what is the status of releasing XEclipse
?
My final semester started from today. I might not be able to contribute a
lot during this period, but I will keep in touch for sure.
Thanks.

So I have finished an implementation of the "core" component that
contains basically a refactoring of the caching logic for XEclipse.
The idea is to use this component as the foundation of the 1.0M2
release in order to avoid to release a 1.0M3 shortly after to fix
problems in the current caching code.
I've packaged it as a simple maven project with some unit tests to
show (and test) how it works.
I am attaching it to this mail for peer-review. I could put it on the
SVN but actually I should repackage it as an OSGi component and I
still have to experiment with the Maven-PDE plugin in order to do a
proper packaging. Or alternatively I could put it temporarily in the
SVN sandbox and, later, move it as an OSGi component in the XEclipse
trunk.
Let me know.
Cheers,
Fabio
