Description Mik Kersten CLA 2008-04-02 22:33:32 EDT
The Mylyn project has been doing testing of the Java package for Europa and Ganymede. Assuming that we can get the sort of support that we've had from Markus in the past, we can take ownership of the maintenance and testing of this package.
Comment 1 Markus Knauer CLA 2008-04-03 02:18:28 EDT
Cool. That was the package with the most downloads in the past few months.
I am working on EPP today and let you know about the next steps soon.
Comment 2 Markus Knauer CLA 2008-04-03 14:41:17 EDT
Mik, Steffen, the (old) package definition is available from CVS
:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/technology
--- org.eclipse.epp/releng/org.eclipse.epp.config/eclipse_java_340.xml

Could you please take over, put this file in your own repository, and let me know about the new location?

Of course, I'll keep you informed about changes and problems. Especially the package metadata will change and new attributes will be added to generate the webpages from that file.
Comment 3 Mik Kersten CLA 2008-04-08 12:26:33 EDT
Thanks Markus.

Steffen: could you give this a try?

Should we reopen the question of including the Error Log in this packaging?  A bit more info is on bug 194805.
Comment 4 Steffen Pingel CLA 2008-04-14 14:54:54 EDT
I have tested I20080409-1425 on Linux. I only found minor nits:

* The UDC logged warnings (bug 226984)
* The Mylyn feature was missing in the about dialog (bug 226986)
* I got NLS warnings when editing an XML file
Comment 5 Mik Kersten CLA 2008-04-20 16:19:04 EDT
Markus: we are considering adding the Error Log view, now decoupled from PDE, to the Java package (bug 194805).  Any objections?

Not at all... I think this would be a good feature for *every* package, but AFAIK the Error Log View has been refactored into its own plugin, but there is no feature to consume. Or am I wrong? 
Comment 7 Mik Kersten CLA 2008-04-27 19:05:54 EDT
Yes, it has.  Sounds like we are all in agreement.  I've commented on bug 194805 stating that we should go ahead and do this.

Anything new here? ;-)
Can I pull the Java configuration from your repository?
Comment 9 Steffen Pingel CLA 2008-05-06 15:43:07 EDT
Sorry, this fell of my task list. I am not sure what the best location within the Mylyn repository would be. Mik, should I create an org.eclipse.mylyn.epp plug-in for that?
Comment 10 Mik Kersten CLA 2008-05-06 23:36:50 EDT
I suggest calling it org.eclipse.mylyn.java.epp (e.g., it is feasible that we could end up with an org.eclipse.mylyn.java.pde as well).

Comment 12 Markus Knauer CLA 2011-05-20 05:15:37 EDT
Closing as fixed; please open new bugs for the package if changes are required.
