Eric,
Please feel free to utterly ignore me, but I cannot resist the
temptation to offer my perspective on a few of your points.
·
Roadmap/release schedule: If possible, I think it would be great
if MTJ was included in the 2009 annual release train. Inclusion in the release
train has generally been helpful in increasing commercial and user adoption for
Eclipse projects.
·
GUI Builder: The VE project is clearly in need of some TLC. But
you might want to keep in mind that AIUI the original design point for VE was
to separate the VM the GUI was running in from the VM running the tool. That
concept may have some helpful implications for a GUI builder for mobile. Perhaps

Conference Code: 9190565826
[Resending
with corrected subject line.]
It's
time for a conference call on MTJ to go over the progress to date and next
action items. How does Tuesday, June 17th at 11:00 AM PDT sound to
everyone?
Conference
Code: 9190565826
- Confirm
the current scope as documented on the Wiki pages.
- Go
through the status and assign a responsible party for each of the
activity
- Understand
the next steps to do the official release (moving from a nightly build to
an integration build, stable build and finally the release after a few
release candidates? In between the releases there may be maintenance
builds. We should also set dates for each of the intended builds – you can
see an example here, for Ganymede: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Ganymede_Simultaneous_Release,
see Milestones and Release Candidates)
- Preverifier status summary
- Proposals for a MTJ roadmap items in the 2008/2009
timeframe
- Integration of Non-UEI SDKs, is it possible, what
are the missing pieces (documentation?)
- GUI builders: Should we have one? Does anyone
actually use LCD UI? Can we integrate with commercial ones? How would we
deal with generated code?
