Just a reminder that we are in our first milestone week (M1) for e4.
Suggest that we follow best practices from the Eclipse project's milestone
process:
Testing: We have a build from last night that we can test. Test pass
should be today, using this build:
http://download.eclipse.org/e4/downloads/drops/I20090204-2115
Can it be installed into an Eclipse SDK without problems? Note that the
build ran against 3.5 M4, and we anticipate problems installing it into M5
for now, for the XWT tooling part.
Are the instructions for downloading, installing and running the demos
accurate?
Does the build come with source for all plugins, so that it is easy for
people to see it?
Are there any bugs (e.g. in the demos)?
New and Noteworthy:
This is our chance to send a list of noteworthy features / demo points /
... to a wider audience. Please send N&N items to John Arthorne (and think
about what should be N&N while testing). We propose we do this by EOD
Monday.
Are there any screenshots or short screencasts we can do, now or next
week?
Fix pass:
Of the bugs found during the test pass, are there any major ones that we'd
like to fix? Should be done later today, or early tomorrow.
Send pointers to bugs that you fixed to the list so that we can kick off
new builds
Signoff:
The components we have right now are: SWT BE, XWT, UI, and Resources. Each
team should send a GO (say, by noon EST on Friday) to the list when they
are happy for M1.
We recognize that we should've organized this earlier and not everyone in
the community can spend this kind of focused time on it right away. If
you'd like to help in this effort but can't meet the time constraints
outlined, let's discuss it. We're just trying to keep the ball moving
forward and get in the habit of doing releases, and produce something for
people to consume to see what's going on in e4!
Questions/Comments?
Thanks
Kevin & Boris
