Subject	[eclipse-dev] Planning Meeting Notes - Sept 30, 2009

------------------
 Discussion Topic 
------------------

Equinox:
- drop Windows 95/98/ME from native equinox launcher:
  - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=289138

--------
 Status 
--------

Debug:
- added new platform-debug test plug-in to the build
- performance improvements to VM/Program arguments fields in launch
  tabs (287583)
- API to generate unique launch configuration names (267130)
- bug fixing

PDE:
- continued work on synchronizing target platform with Java search
  (175134)
- reviewing patch for custom schema attribute validation/editing
  extension point (227055)
- released new PDE launching plug-in providing support for headless
  launching (278845)
- assisting with e4 builds
- working on improvements to API use reports (289903)
- bug fixing

Ant:
- continued work on support for headless launching of Ant and 
  External tools (264338)

JDT UI:
- added support for @Override for interface methods (1.6 and higher):
  - updated Clean Up and Extract Interface
- JUnit view: Added 'Import from URL...' to history drop-down
tip: copy a the test result URL from an Eclipse build result and
replace the "html" directory and "html" ending with
"xml", e.g.:
- http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/N20090927-2000/testresults/xml/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tests_linux.gtk.x86.xml
- released a workaround for spurious BadLocationExceptions after
  applying quick fixes (bug 195834)
- fixed XML parsing code that writes to the console
- continued to work on computing Type Hierarchy view's content in the
  background
- continued to work on improved UI for configuring the 'Expand with
  Constructors' feature in the Call Hierarchy
- 1 public holiday
- 1 day vacation

Platform Text and JDT Text:
- fixed XML parsing code that writes to the console
- added new folding (aka projection) icons which look better on dark
  backgrounds

JDT Core:
- bug fixes
- warning is now reported for missing @Override annotation for
  implementation of interface methods
- investigating fixes for 3.5.2
- investigating memory issues with APT
- 1 day off in ISL

JDT APT:
- newsgroups, Bugzilla, inbox, conf calls
- investigate APT memory space issues.  Olivier and I feel that the
  best first approach is to add an additional createASTs() API that
would
  take a flag allowing the caller to specify a less granular AST,
i.e.,
  without method bodies.  We are also looking at some approaches
that
  would be more disruptive, in case that doesn't sufficiently solve
the
  problem.
