Mylyn/Reviews/Reviews Convergence 2013

Idea.png
Sponsored Development
This work is developed by Tasktop Technologies in association with Ericsson and sponsored by Ericsson.


Background

The goal of this work is to further converge Reviews and R4E while maintaining and enriching each approach. We'll be improving the Gerrit connector and also supporting a new R4E review type that fully integrates with the Gerrit review process, while preserving model extensibility to support richer R4E features.

The most important aspect of this effort for the first half of 2013 will be engineering the underlying technologies needed to support a common UI, persistence, and core model infrastructure, based on appropriate EMF based-technologies.

Stories

UI Synchronization and Concurrency
Prevent Concurrency Errors
All changes to Reviews whether driven from user interface or Reviews UI take place without concurrency related failures.
Plan
Fail on Long-Running UI Changes
Poorly behaved model edits are handled gracefully.
Plan
UI Editing and Updating Performance
All Review interaction is performant under all usage scenarios.
Plan
Batch Changes
Large Jobs (such as Gerrit based model updates) can be managed without interfering with UI or other model behavior.
Plan
Improve Cache Set Caching
null
Plan bug 389944
Specify Concurrency Model
Discuss and test alternatives for sychronization/concurrent updating.
Plan bug 332589
Reviews Edit Framework
Create Reviews EMF Edit Model
Implement Initial EMF based model.
Plan
Migrate Model Code to EMF Edit
All complex model changes should be mediated through EMF edit changes within Item Providers, ensuring that any model changes preserve model integrity.

Plan bug 394020
Share Review Models
Provide API for accessing one and only one model for each review from Eclipse workbench.
Plan bug 394020
Model Update Notification
Interested listeners (e.g. open review editors, review navigator) are notified when model elements have changed.
Plan bug 399700bug 395646
Manage Review Models
Provide a mechanism for caching, updating and disposing of stale reviews. This may be managed in EMF by having a single large model containing all elements, or perhaps by storing the reviews separately.
