Fwd: [epp-dev] Heads Up and some action requested : TCF Terminals Moving to TM
by Max Rydahl Andersen
Hey,
I believe this will end up affecting us too.
Opened jira for this: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3384
For most this is just a repackaging that don't affect code, but for Fuse
Tooling
which currently rely on org.eclipse.tm.internal.terminal this will
require changes.

> - Instead, the TCF project will contribute

> This affects the "jee" and "reporting" packages which currently

> org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.feature/feature.xml: <import

> org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.feature/feature.xml: <import
> feature="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.telnet"/>
> org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.feature/feature.xml: <import
> feature="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.view"/>
> org.eclipse.epp.package.reporting.feature/feature.xml: <import
> feature="org.eclipse.tm.terminal"/>
> org.eclipse.epp.package.reporting.feature/feature.xml: <import
> feature="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.ssh"/>
> org.eclipse.epp.package.reporting.feature/feature.xml: <import
> feature="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.telnet"/>
> org.eclipse.epp.package.reporting.feature/feature.xml: <import
> feature="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.view"/>
>
> If you do not take any action, you will simply see the new "4.0"
> version of those features from TCF, giving you the new tabbed terminal
> view.
> If you want, you can take the following two actions as soon as TCF
> starts contributing the new namespace:
>
> - You may REMOVE "org.eclipse.tm.terminal" since that feature
> is auto-required by "org.eclipse.tm.terminal.view" ; that would allow
> updating the widget without updating the view in the future.
>
> - You may ADD "org.eclipse.tm.terminal.local" since that

>
> - You may want to set the minimum version range to 4.0 to

>
> - You may want to review the terminal whether it fits your

>
> Of course other packages are more than welcome to also consume the new

> For now this is just a heads up;

rename "testing-tools" to "arquillian"
by Max Rydahl Andersen
Hi,
when we creatd "testing-tools" component is was to cover what at the
time was a sea of testing
fwks like arquillian, shrinkwrap, httpunit, jsfunit etc. but over time
it is now 99% arquillian.
Normally I would have marked testingt-tools as deprecated and name it zz
testing-tools and add
new "arquillian" component.
but that seems overkill in this case.
If no objections to this I'll do the rename by Tuesday.
Thanks,
/max
