[ee4j-build] Q&A for meeting with OpenJDK?

[Ed Bratt <ed.bratt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ed started the meeting a few minutes late. Apologies if anyone gave up 
before that.

Jignesh gave an update on progress with the GlassFish build experiments. 
They are working to re-engineer the build foundation since Eclipse uses 
cloud based compute nodes. With assistance from Eclipse IT folks earlier 
road-blocks have been discussed (e.g. using SSH and/or NFS mount points 
to transfer components between master and slaves. Currently 
re-implementing this to use Jenkins "copy-artifact" plugin.

Frederic confirmed that the production environment for JSON P. is 
configured. They have progressed as far as deploying to maven central. 
setting up account for deployment to maven central. Oracle needs to 
decide what to do with the maven artifact domains.

Yamini raised concern about variability in build/test time. (most are 5 
mins. one took over 50 minutes). Frederic is looking at build history to 
see what else was happening. This is similar to previous reports made by 
Dmitry. Hopefully Frederic can triangulate this with whatever else is 
happening on those machines. 10x variability is probably going to be 
difficult for our CI scripts to handle.

Find-bugs plugin is installed. Questions about configuration differences 
between what we have internal to Oracle vs. config. at Eclipse. Yamini 
will update wiki how-to pages once she's successfully got this working.

No one from Prague team was able to join, but there were updates to the 
internal Eclipse Org CI/CD wiki page. This was shared internally to 
Oracle team after the meeting. (With apologies, this is an Oracle 
internal wiki.) Once we start accumulating operational recipes (as 
opposed to migration based commentary) we need to post these procedures 
in a public location.

Thanks,
