Re: [eclipse-ide-wg] Eclipse Mylyn tests infra needs investments or will be retired soon

Hi Alexander,

can you explain what kind of (build) resources are required specifically? e.g. with Tycho / m2e / Platform / SWT we made good experience in using Jenkins for the official stuff and Github for the platform specific test, there is even a reusable workflow for this and it can become as easy as this:

https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform/blob/master/.github/workflows/ci.yml

From m2e project I can tell that we also made some good experiences where m2e has adopted some of its "connectors" in the codebase, even though they usually never really change, when refactoring or dependency upgrades happen it is usually not a big deal to adjust them with little effort.

So maybe for mylin it would also be good to have its "core" parts integrated into the eclipse-platform repositories (even though that's just more an idea and needs to be discussed) and we just join forces here so that mylin contributors become platform contributors.

Dear Eclipse IDE WG,

Let me inform you about the situation with the Eclipse Mylyn project, because it provides valuable additions to Eclipse IDE scenarios.

As you may know, Eclipse Mylyn was going through hard times and was revived by a group of enthusiasts about a year ago. It is now back in SimRel and has regular releases.

However, It is still noticeably understaffed. Moreover, with the stepping back of the company [1] that established Eclipse Mylyn along with all the tests infra we have a risk of loosing the ability to execute the most part of our integration test suite [2]. Every release we need to upgrade 3rd party libraries to be aligned with SimRel, and without integration tests, the viability of the Eclipse Mylyn project is in question.

Dear Eclipse IDE WG, are you interested to support Eclipse Mylyn with additional resource pack [3] or in other terms?

Please feel free to respond to the Eclipse Mylyn team in any way you like:
* this email thread
* discussion at GitHub [2]
* any other ways

Thank you for reading.

Alexander Fedorov,
Eclipse Mylyn Project Lead
