Polish3.3
Revision as of 04:47, 11 April 2007 by Unnamed Poltroon (Talk)
Contents
3.3 Polish Items
This is the raw list of suggested items. I suggest we continue the following way:
- All submitters that sent considerable more than 5 items: Can you prioritize your list again and only keep your 5 most important items?
- A fixed polish item should result in immediate improvement for the user in 3.3 for example by improving usability or adding UI coolness. Polish items should not be your favorite bug fix that could also be done in 3.4. Can submitters go through their items again and remove those that don't qualify?
- Could all team leads add comments below their items until next Wednesday, April 11 if they intend to implement the item for 3.3? Please comment why you don't or can't. For committed items set the 'polish' keyword with the milestone target in bugzilla.
- McQ went through the list and added the PMC's priorities<b></li>
</ul>
In the next status call we can discuss if submitters disagree with the priorization of their items.
I want to stick with the WIKI page as this is a good way to see overall progress and discussions. The 'polish' keyword is also used by comitters for bugs not in this list.
All bugs 3.3M7 or greater with 'polish' keyword
All open bugs 3.3M7 or greater with 'polish' keyword

JDT/UI
P1:
Anonymous type rendered as number in hover https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=180713 (Jerome) > will investigate
P2:
[open type] Open Type is filtering out type from default package https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=179485 (Jerome) > will investigate
[Wizards] Project creation wizard should allow to select a working set https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=157444 (Jerome) > as discussed in status call, no plans for 3.3 as this results in too many ripples and should be provided as API in platform PMC-comment: could be done for JDT only? otherwise requires api
multi-color labels in JDT -> consistency with Jazz and a signficant improvement https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=177339 (Erich) > plan is to provide this with a preference setting (disabled by default). Depends on SWT bug fixes like bug 178008
P3:
[JUnit] JUnit launcher writes everything to log https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=180340 (Wassim) > for M7

P1:
Mark Occurrences highlights random text while actively editing https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=105738 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=115553 (Walter) <b>We can still not reproduce this but will look at it if we get steps.
JDT colours should extend the system themes https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22243 (Tod) To do this right we need to be able to extend the Fonts and Colors preference page and I don't think Platform UI provide this for 3.3.
P2:
The left gutter gets crowded. The light bulb or a problem will hide the "up arrow" to go to the overridden method. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25835 (Walter, Steve) You can choose to expand the vertical ruler icons (Java > Editor > Hovers). No plans for 3.3.
P3:
Add a spelling dictionary and enable spelling by default https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=68357 (Erich) This will happen if we get the legal clearance on time. PMC-comment: I like the enhancement request, but it's not polish
Live annotate should be easier to discover by making it available in the vertical ruler https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=132352 (Erich) Time permitting for 3.3.
Improve colors for live annotate https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=180993 (Erich) This will happen for 3.3.

Reveal the search result in the details pane of the variable view https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=178106 (Pascal) > due to lack of support for SWT.Wrap in TextViewer... but we will try to workaround for M7 Dani: Not true: TextViewer SWT.WRAP can be used but then you need to provide your own IDocumentAdapter.
Warn user when the launch dialog automatically migrates a config https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=180757 (Darin)
P3:
Hitting a breakpoint switches to debug perspective, but terminating the run does not switch back to Java/PDE/etc. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=46336 (Walter)

Multiple Bundle version Problems https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=179318 Fixed https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=177771 Reasonable request (DJ)
P3:
New feature: No feedback the state of the state https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=159066 In Progress (Tom)
Not prioritized yet:
Need tooling for access rules on vm packages https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=164188 Not trivial. Potentially destabilizing. Suggest to defer to 3.4
