E4/4.0/Release Process

< E4‎ | 4.0(Redirected from E4/4.0 Release Process)

Some components from the E4 incubator are proposing a move into the Eclipse Platform project. This page outlines the move plan and any steps that need to be performed as part of the move.

What is happening

  • A set of bundles from e4 will seek to move into the Platform project (remaining under Eclipse TLP)
  • The moved bundles, combined with existing mature bundles from Platform/JDT/PDE will be combined to produce a 4.0 release for July 28, 2010.

To do

  • Paperwork/Process
    • PMC Approval
    • Move Review docuware
    • Committer elections
    • Move affected IPzilla entries to new project
  • Source Code
    • Remove "Incubating" term from bundle/feature names
    • Change Unix group membership on moved projects to match destination component
    • Election of new committers in destination project
  • Build
    • Move 4.0 builds to eclipse project download area
  • Bugzilla
    • Move bugs related to graduated components to destination component buckets (Platform UI/Runtime)

Affected bundles

The following is a list of graduating bundles and the proposed destination component:
