Re: [wtp-dev] Upcoming important dates for WTP M3

[Chris Brealey <cbrealey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,
most of Web Services and portions of
J2EE tools will not be in the 2/10 I-build. There are a few final bits
of integration work being done now, and which will be introduced into HEAD
in the next day or two. Everything should be in the following week's (2/17)
build.

Web services function in M3 will consist
mainly of wizards for building, deploying and testing Apache Axis 1.1 Java
(not EJB) Web services (bottom-up and top-down) and clients on various
Apache Tomcat servers. With a bit of luck, M3 may also include the infamous
Web Services Explorer. For more information please see the WST Web Services
[1] and JST Web Services [2] M3 milestone plans.

Subject	[wtp-dev] Upcoming important dates for WTP M3

Its that time of the cycle again, so thought I would explicitly summarize
what's been 
discussed and written in many different talks and notes and plans.

2/10 - Thursday - regular I-build ... most teams are planing to have all
planned major 
        function "in the build" by this I-build
        (its no show-stopper if not there, but, if
not there, a note to this list would 
        help keep everyone aware of status and last
minute changes still coming). 

2/11 - Friday. move up to latest Eclipse M5 I-build, and "all the
latest" of GEF, 
        EMF/XSDInfoset, and JEM.
        (early peeks indicate there will be roughly
42 compile errors when we first move 
        up, so several teams have some work to do).

2/18 - Friday, Final Test Plans and new mini-tutorials for new function
for this 
        Milestone, from each component team (please
update previous tutorials where 
        changed, include some regression testing on
previous function, 
        but focus on new function just added -- and
remember, no need to wait until this 
        final deadline if you can provide earlier!).

2/18 - Friday - Final Eclipse M5 due 

2/19 - Saturday, move up to final M5 and pre-reqs (can build team can work
weekend?, 
        if so, I suggest one person from each component
team be available on weekend to 
        keep them company, and sanity test the results,
to be sure there's 
        no serious issues that would prevent further
final testing during the week) 

2/21 - 2/-25  Monday through Friday. Milestone shutdown testing, serious
bugs fixed 

2/25 - Friday - final M3 build declared and promoted to web site

2/28 - EclipseCon -- I've listed this fast-approaching date here to emphasize
the 
        importance of stability for those preparing
demos, etc. 


Please let me know if I've missed (or misunderstood) anything.
