Glassfish v3 Meeting Minutes: 2007/09/19

• scm status:
  • No immediate resolution on which scm to use.
  • cvs history : we still don't quite have a successful cvs history move to mercurial, at this point, we need to assume we would loose cvs history.
  • ide tools : the IDE tools are still pretty basic (if any) and we cannot expect everyone outside to use Netbeans.
  • Hg tools itself is still buggy (as reported by Paul) and difficult to install on some older Linux env.
  • Infrastructure issues:
    • no fisheye
    • no java.net support. if we have our own Hg server, how do we backup, authenticate (using java.net IDs) and so on...
    • training
• Consider having different modules on different scms as long as we can do binary integration.
• Get input from developers on the impact of losing history if we move directories in cvs.
• Figure out how to handle user ids if we use hg
• First: merge 9.1fcs into v3 prework branch: who will do this?
• ur1 needs to be merged. If we are still on CVS, merge onto trunk. This is TBD.
• Then wait for the scm choice before merging to trunk.
• How to verify sanity of v3 branch? Need to setup a sample of tests from different modules.
• Paul: working on automating th pe-base zip file. Plan is to use a new maven plugin that leverages ant targets.
• Terena needs to get the host setup.
• Need new maven plugins:
  • Code checker
  • FindBugs. Need to inform developers on how to run it.
• For those that need to commit to the v3 branch, we will decide if another branch will work.
