Re: [eclipse-pmc] Oxygen (4.7) Release Review Material
|
Thanks for the nice feedback Martin.I will forward the N&N comments
to the editors. As for adding links to bug reports, we never did that.
The entry must be good enough to explain the feature. I see there is polish
required on the ones below.DaniFrom:

+1 from me as well for the Release Review
Material, nicely done! It’s wonderful reading through this aggregate
list of a year’s accomplishments … so many little annoyances resolved,
I think it’s going to be the best Eclipse ever ☺Even though I’ve followed many of the milestone N&Ns, having them
nicely collected and aggregated is a powerful demonstration of what’s
been achieved together. Kudos and thanks to all contributors!! I also do have a couple comments regarding
the N&Ns … obviously a bit late, but I thought I’d share them still.
It’s just minor / cosmetic things and I’m totally fine with keeping the
N&N as-is … so here we go: · Generic
Editor - For me, the Generic Editor is one of the primary reasons for
switching to Oxygen (together with tm4e and Textmate a Shellscript Grammar,
as well as the lightweight XML highlighting that I enjoy a lot, and the
new “Open With > Associate > All). I think it would be good if there
was a reference to the tm4e project in the respective N&N item, in
order to explain to end users what’s the immediate end user benefit of
the Generic Editor.
· Similar
comment for the JDT’s new Java Index – I’m missing a reference
to the associated Bug, where I could read the potential benefits of the
new index (is it faster? More capable? Better componentized?) – The way
that the N&N entry is written, it’s useless for end users (why would
I ever change the default setting) and also useless for insiders who’d
know anyways.
· Launch
Group isn’t new to me at all … I suppose this has been pushed down
from the CDT into Platform? Would be nice giving Credits to CDT in the
N&N, plus for those who knew it from CDT it doesn’t read so well if
announced as “new”.
· Copy
Preferences during Workspace switch – is this option safe? Seems risky
that absolute paths in a preference keep referencing the old Workspace
when it should be migrated to the new one? What is the strategy behind
this preference migration? What is the associated bug report for reading
up on details and finding the code change in git? – In my company, we
had done a similar preference migration years ago and it worked fine for
most customers but also did cause some unexpected side effects so I’d
be keen learning more about the details here.
· “New
option to disable HCR” – the HCR acronym is quite unusual in my mind,
it shouldn’t be exposed in the left-hand column of the N&N. There’s
space enough for spelling it out “Hot Code Replace”, no?
Unrelated to the N&N, but as I am ranting
already ☺ the “Escape
text when pasting into a string literal”
has only been an annoyance to me so far. Copying a String and pasting it
to a different “static final String foo =” it quotes the quotes when
it shouldn’t … I haven’t reported a bug for this, anyways thanks for
letting me know how to turn this off.[/rant] Bottom line, THANKS again for all the hard
work ! Thanks,Martin--Martin Oberhuber, SMTS
