Re: [tm-dev] Master branch is TM 3.7?
Hi Uwe,

I’m not sure of the plans at this point. I’ve asked this list about the 3.6 version a couple of times but received no reply. I’ve also invited everyone to the PTP developers conference call to discuss plans, but no one from TM ever attended. At this point, I’m assuming that the current release is the final release for TM.

I’m not a developer on the project, so I don’t know what anyone’s plans are unless they let me know. Also, developer’s will need to step up and update the project plan, documentation, and anything else that needs to be done. I can fix the outline of the plan, but someone else will need to fill in the details. Finally, we need people to test the builds before they are released, or we can’t say we’re meeting Eclipse quality. This didn’t seem to be happening for the SR1 release.

Regards,
Greg

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
