Fwd: [eclipse.org-planning-council] ECF possibly leaving the train
by Nick Boldt
FYI. ECF might leave the simultaneous release train. Reasons why this
is potentially bad for us are outlined below.

Hi,
I want to bring to the Council's attention the fact that ECF is
considering pulling out of the simultaneous release train, because I
haven't seen any discussion about this. This is concerning for a
couple of reasons:
* a number of projects in the train, including Platform, depend on
ECF, so we may end up with different projects pulling in different
versions of ECF, which is not ideal
* The fact that participation in the train entails so much overhead
that an active project with a long history of successful participation
is considering pulling out seems like a larger and quite serious
problem for Eclipse. I believe at least part of the overhead is due to
the instability of the build infrastructure.
I'm afraid I don't have any concrete solutions to propose, but I
wonder if, given the current resources, we should consider simplifying
the contribution process (somehow), or reallocating resources from
elsewhere to improve the stability of the infrastructure.
Regarding the infrastructure, my experience from the Mylyn project is
that projects must spend a great deal of time dealing with broken
Hudson slaves, breakages in the signing service, and similar issues,
to the point where I can see why it threatens projects' ability to
participate. Just to be clear, I am not blaming anyone for this - I
know that it takes a lot of work to keep all these things running
smoothly.
Cheers,
Sam

+1, same to me.
This being said there are a few gotchas:
- if we dont want to duplicate Eclipse formatter and checkstyle rules
we'd have to find a way to share there. Even though I believe that this
isnt a big show stopper. Once done you wont change these often.
- we also have to commit the Eclipse code formatter we're using. Ideally
we'd have a way to facilitate workspace setup so that this wont get
another additional step

* Oomph
(https://timdelbruegger.wordpress.com/2015/08/16/automating-project-specif...)
?
* PSF?
* Workspace mechanics?
We have a jira covering code formatters and checkers:

Release date for Tycho 0.26: late August 2016

Cc: Tycho list <tycho-dev(a)eclipse.org>
it's been almost 4 months since 0.25.0 [1] so I propose to schedule
staging 0.26.0 this Friday, release one week later.
the list of bugs fixed/features added is not long [2]
but together with the support added for TestNG I guess there is enough
interest for a release.
@committers objections?

Jan

Just wondering if there's a planned date for Tycho 0.26.
Looking forward to being able to use this new feature [1] but need a
full release (not a snapshot) in order to use this in our .Final
builds.

REMINDER: Code Freeze for 4.4.1.AM3 / 10.1.0.AM3 is tomorrow, Thurs Aug 11 @ 5pm EST
by Nick Boldt
We'll be building the bits to stage for QE from the master branch, so
there's no need to change your root poms or create branches.
Just be sure to have everything you want included in the build pushed
to github by 5pm EST on Thursday night.
Build will run over night, and will be copied from /snapshots/ to
/staging/ on Friday morning.
If you have anything blocking you from being ready by EOD on Thursday
(tomorrow!) let me know ASAP.

[aeri] Create multiple JIRAs from one search query
by Marcel Bruch
Greetings JBosstools-Dev
I just noticed that today a few people created many bug reports “one-by-one”. This may be on purpose but if not, here is how you can create a set of JIRAs in one click:
1. Make sure that your project has a default JIRA project, component and version. If not set, go to projects > your project > bug tracking and select the values for your project.
2. Go to the problems page, filter all problems belonging to your project, and select the bulk edit action “create bug report”. Finally select all problems you’d like to create a JIRA for and press “Execute”.
That’s all. Now, you can make the final adjustments in JIRA as needed (set the target version, assign the bug report to s/o etc.)
HTH,
Marcel
