Meeting Minutes

August 10, 2022 - MQ, Jay, Alex, Tom, Lars

  • Performance issue with Equinox startup in currently in analysis https://github.com/eclipse-equinox/equinox/issues/93
  • I-Build is now using Java 17, platform is still requiring Java 11
  • Discussion about platform move to Java 17, currently it is not planned to require Java 17 in the platform ** Should be based on features in the Java language ** M2e already requires Java 17 and Tycho plans to move to Java 17

  • Publish meeting minutes ** Publish today's minutes to PMC mailing list for openness. ** Look into finding a "permanent" place to post minutes starting with some of the coming meetings. ** https://github.com/eclipse-platform/.github/wiki looks like the best place so far. ** Move old minutes too?

  • De-Orbitization of Platform ** Effort started after last release issues with custom mapping ** Do as much as possible for this release ** Upstream improvements - BouncyCastle, Lucene, etc. will have to happen before more switches can happen ** Some libraries (e.g. JUnit 4.x) will stay from Orbit as long as they are shipped as Maven Central doesn't have them as OSGi bundles ** Cross-project notification email need (Jay) *** Already sent by Mickael, projects are building using Maven for years and projects have to move to using Maven libraries directly so in a way it's simplification of the process (Alex) *** If there is unclear case/need for more explanation we need exact questions to act on

  • Tycho OSGi Connect usage ** FYI very promising effort to simplify our main build tool (https://github.com/eclipse/tycho/pull/1152) ** Connect is very specific API for very tight problem zone so hopefully it works for the Tycho use case (Tom)
