| [tm-dev] Master branch is TM 3.7? |
|
Hi Greg, Can you confirm that I’m right in assuming that the master branch is leading to the TM 3.7 release? When will it be released? I’ve checked the TM project pages under eclipse.org/tm, but this pages are not up to date. If master is leading to the 3.7 release, I would like to change at least the TM Terminal feature version numbers accordingly. Also I want to tackle a few Terminal related releasing issues we keep pushing ahead of us for a long time now.
Not sure if you need to announce them in some project lead meeting. 1.
Deprecation of unused or no longer supported features
a.
Take out the o.e.tm.terminal.view and the o.e.tm.terminal.local from the build and repositories
b.
Move the source of this features to terminal/deprecated folder to keep the source around for reference
c.
Remove the o.e.tm.terminal.core.sdk feature as without the terminal.view feature, the usual SDK feature is the same as the core.sdk feature 2.
Work on replacement for org.eclipse.rse.terminal feature
a.
Remove this feature from the org.eclipse.rse feature
b.
Create an replacement providing the same entry points from the RSE System Explorer as the org.eclipse.rse.terminal plug-in does but use the newer and maintained TCF Terminals view. The new RSE terminal feature will be provided by the
TCF project like the TCF based file system and process RSE contributions. All effort is related to address the many complains about having up to 3 different terminals views available in Eclipse. Final goal is to bundle all terminal related effort, bugfixing and feature development, into the superior TCF Terminals
view. Best regards, Uwe J |
