Linux users, please start using Eclipse 4.4.M3
by Mickael Istria
Hi all,
Eclipse 4.4.M3 has been released last week. It contains a big (good)
change for Linux users: implementation of SWT against GTK3 instead of
GTK2. This is mostly perfect, but there are still a few glitches (this
required a lot of changes, so even the most careful developers could
miss some things).
It would be helpful if you could start using this 4.4.M3 as an IDE for
JBT/JBDS and report any bug you notice to
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform . The
sooner they get fixed in Eclipse, the less bad surprise and pain we'll
have for JBoss Tools and JBoss Developer Studio.
FYI, this change was implemented and is maintained by the Eclipse Fedora
team at Red Hat, and the 4.40.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT will soon use this new
implementation of SWT.
Last point to convince you: Eclipse looks nicer with GTK3 than it does
with GTK2 ;)

ACTION REQUIRED: Upcoming code freeze for JBoss Tools 4.2 Alpha1 :: Thursday, November 28
by Nick Boldt
I know we're barely half way through the testing cycle for JBT
4.1.1.CR1, but in order to be able to get a first Alpha for JBT 4.2 out
by year's end, we need to start looking at building JBT 4.2 on Luna ASAP.
To that end, Mickael will be producing a new Luna M3 target platform
this week - watch for that email w/ instructions. You can of course use
the current Luna M2 target platform if you're eager.
The goal is to test building your projects w/ Luna, so that if you're a
project who tends to be broken every year by upstream API changes in
platform or WTP (eg., hibernate tools), you can find those problems and
fix them ASAP. Or if necessary, report problems upstream.
If all goes to plan, the hope is to have a JBT 4.2.0.Alpha1 build by the
first week of December.
Stay tuned!

ACTION REQUIRED: N&N for CR1/GA
by Max Rydahl Andersen
Hey,
N&N main jira been created at https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15981
I believe most would just be a reject/close since nothing changed but I know
a few plugins added a few features to handled things based on QE and testing feedback.
Michelle (doc) is requesting we get these in as quickly as possible so she can be aware
of anything that can affect the last work on the docs.
Thanks,
Max

Action Required: Don't change the IDE look/behavior ahead of 7.1.0/4.1.1 GA
by Michelle Murray
In preparation for GA, I am beginning the arduous task of verifying the text and graphics in the JBDS/JBT guides. This will take approximately 40 hours. It involves checking that the installer and IDE looks and behaves as I have documented and updating any inconsistencies that didn't get flagged in JIRAs or N&N (e.g., icon changes, menu item name changes, extra wizard fields).
So DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING. F rom this point forwards, please refrain from making unnecessary changes to the IDE look/behavior for 7.1.0/4.1.1. If you absolutely have to make a look/behavior change, please contact me directly to alert me to the fact that you are changing something so I can identify any documentation impacts.
I believe there will be very few, if any, IDE look/behavior changes between now and GA since we are at CR1 and in the final bug fixing phase.
I'm aware that the following is an IDE look/behavior change not in the current CR1 build:
* https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2821
Thanks for your cooperation,

On just updating description in jira...
by Max Rydahl Andersen
Am I the only one that find it extremely hard to follow when we are updating the description instead of simply use comments or subtasks
to provided updates ?
I was looking through jira notifications and I have ~80 changes to JBDS-2710 and each delta lists everything...
Does it show up better for you all ?
Isn't there a better way to track this ? (like a subtask pr. component and if globally relevant add comment to the aggregator ?)
Then you the emails will just contain the actual relevant change and the progress (done or not done) can be seen in the subtask overview ?
Note, i've seen this happen with other jiras too but JBDS-2710 is just the "biggest" one.

Running Maven tests against a pre-existing RCP application
by Mickael Istria
Hi all,
With Tycho 0.19.0, we could fix the long-standing issue JBIDE-13869.
This will allow you to run your test with Maven against an RCP
application which is available in your filesystem.
You can do it by simply running for example:
$ cd tests/my.test.bundle
$ mvn clean verify -Dtest.profileName=epp.package.jee
-Dtest.installPath=/home/me/eclipse-4.4.M2
If test.installPath is not set, you get the default surefire behaviour
which is to generate a simple minimal installation to run the tests in
target/work.
More info about the profileName can be found in
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Testing_with_Surefire#p2Installed_on_provis...
. This works on any RCP application that relies on p2 (in case you want
to test JBoss Tools inside Websphere Studio ;).
We've configured it so that by default, it is JBDS-friendly and set the
jbds profileName. So to test on JBDS, you can simply use:
$ mvn clean verify
-Dtest.installPath=/home/me/jbdevstudio-8.0.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT/studio
Except a few exception, other surefire parameters, such as the very cool
debugPort parameter, can be used together with this mechanism.
Enjoy!
