Pollinate Status and Meeting Agenda 2004-11-11
Anyone interested may attend the weekly Pollinate conference call:
Thursday, November 11, 2004
1 pm PDT / 4 pm EDT
1-858-300-3030 (San Diego, CA)
Participant Access Code: 84484
1) News
Pollinate M2 is available now!
http://www.eclipse.org/pollinate/
Some of what's new in this milestone includes:
+ page flow editor - alpha version of the page flow editor, which allows=
=
visual viewing and navigating of a page flow, along with some limited =
visual editing.
+ run-time improvements - improved server communication, logging, new =
Runtime preferences page, support for Tomcat 5.5
+ latest beehive - running on the latest beehive code available at the t=
ime
+ build process - build script in place but not quite fully automated fo=
r =
nightly builds
A "work in progress" PetStore example is provided as a separate download=
.. =
You can browse the various page flows by double clicking on the various =
Controller.java files to open the page flow editor. Unfortunately, the J=
DT =
compiler does not generate complete annotation information yet (see bug =
36938) so the PetStore demo cannot yet be launched from Pollinate.
Thanks to Carl and Alex for helping get M2 out the door.
2) Development
M2 is now tagged in CVS so the floodgates are again open for new =
development.
3) Discussion
Now that M2 is out the door, we need to decide what we want focus on nex=
t.
Some potential areas include:
+ java page flow editor - visual editing, missing annotation support, an=
d =
bug fixes
+ enhancing the various Pollinate wizards
+ runtime support for beehive controls - assuming that the JDT supports =
runtime annotations (see bug 36938)
+ explore using WTP server tooling in Pollinate
+ move to new version of Tomcat(?) and Beehive
+ other beehive specific editors such as those for visually editing =
controls
+ JUnit tests
+ Allow debugging of web apps from Pollinate
+ how do we get rid of our reliance on the "tools.jar" ?
+ support files named *.jpf (currently java page flow files have to be =
named *.java)
+ new deployment UI similar to java launching and external tools launchi=
ng =
dialogs?
+ review WTP JSP editor (if there is one) or other existing contribution=
s
4) Tasks
Tasks currently underway:
- add more visual editing to page flow editor
- wizard enhancements (postponed from M2)
- nightly builds (build scripts complete but not fully automated yet)
- need to open a discussion with BEA about use of WLW page flow editor =
icons (or their equivalent)
