| [eclipse-dev] Planning Meeting Notes - Oct 27, 2010 |
------------------
Discussion topic
------------------
SWT:
- Many of the libraries that SWT depends on are not available for the
powerpc64 distribution of Ubuntu 10.04, so users of this distribution
cannot use Eclipse/SWT without building these libraries themselves.
Ubuntu 10.04 powerpc64 is NOT a reference platform on the Eclipse 3.7
plan, however Ubuntu is a popular distribution in general. Should the
recently-discontinued powerpc32 builds of Eclipse/SWT be resurrected
for the benefit of Ubuntu powerpc users?
Rel. Eng.:
- Currently, these tests are running on win32.win32.x86 zips:
- should this be changed to win32.win32.x86_64?

- 3.7M3 testing
- various 3.7 bug fixes, including:

- bug 324005 : Add IAccessible2EditableText support to Eclipse
- the usual newsgroup support and bug triage
Rel. Eng.:
- have successfully tested running JUnit tests on Hudson Windows 7 slave
at eclipse.org
- for example see:
- https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/view/Eclipse%20and%20Equinox/job/eclipse-JUnit/113/testReport/?
- 106 failures out of 65,560 tests - many of the failures are due to issues
on the new infrastructure, will address them but this is good progress.
Will be glad to be out of the hardware business!
- Hudson also keeps a history of your results and compares them with past
builds:
- https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/eclipse-JUnit/112/testReport/history/?
- these tests currently take longer on eclipse.org hardware than on existing
hardware but I've asked the foundation to allocate more ram to speed them up
- discussion item:
- 3.7M3 + testing new bundles
- bug fixing
User Assistance:
- working on extension point to define alternate entry URL to help Webapp
- investigating accessibility of help view when screen reader used
