[forge-dev] JBoss Tools 4.3.0.Alpha2 code freeze this Thursday 16th April

Heya, Just a friendly reminder that Alpha2 code freeze is coming up on this Thursday the 16th [1] if you are on Red Hat VPN you can access the ical for it at [2]. Planned release of this is for 27th April. This Alpha2 is "Special" in the sense it is targeting Eclipse Mars M6 which includes a lot of updates and fixes to the platform including: * OS X p2 layout has changed = OS X users cannot update from Mars M1-M5 to M6, need to install. * Jetty 8 to Jetty 9 (major api change) * egit 3.x to 4.0 * GTK3 bug fixes (Snjezana Go Go!) * ...and probably a lot more ;) Big things hoping to show up in Alpha2 if you are not aware are: * easyimport * OpenShift v3 tooling (it did not make it to Alpha1) * First working and pretty version of Central on HTML5 * <fill in your thing here for N&N > [1] https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jir... [2] https://pp.engineering.redhat.com/pp-admin/api/v1/releases/524/schedule-t... Good luck and don't be afraid to ask if you find issues in M6. There are still time to fix it upstream! :) p.s. I'm not available this Friday - but Fred Bricon promised to fill in for me if any questions/concerns around code freeze and readiness. Thanks, /max http://about.me/maxandersen
