| <p:introduction> |
| <div> |
| The Linux Tools project is a two-faceted |
| project. Firstly, it develops tools and frameworks for |
| writing tools for Linux developers. Secondly, it provides |
| a place for Linux |
| distributions to |
| collaboratively overcome issues surrounding |
| distribution packaging of |
| Eclipse technology. The project will |
| produce both best practices and tools |
| related to packaging. |
| </div> |
| </p:introduction> |
| <p:release_deliverables> |
| <div> |
| The Linux Tools project delivers tools as |
| Eclipse plugins which are used primarily by Linux developers |
| and |
| packagers. The project also aims to deliver various |
| scripts, |
| techniques, and tarballs which ease the process of |
| packaging Eclipse |
| technology for Linux distributions. |

| </p:release_milestones> |
| <p:target_environments> |
| <div> |
| For release 1.0, the tools run with Eclipse 4.2 (Juno) and related dependencies (CDT, etc.). |
| Our plug-ins require Java >= 6.0. |
| Some of our plug-ins interact with underlying profiling, etc. tools which means that |
| those underlying tools must be present for functionality. This sometimes makes them |
| only available on Linux. All plug-ins and features have proper operating system |
| restrictions so end-users should not notice issues here. |
| </div> |
| <div> |
| The packaging tools not delivered as Eclipse plugins have |
| varying requirements but generally require basic tools such |
| as ant, bash, sh, sed, awk, grep, etc. |
| </div> |
| <internationalization> |
| <div> |
| The tools aim to have all strings externalized so as to |
| facilitate internationalization. At present, no |
| translations are provided. See <a |
| href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=261255">bug #261255</a> and <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=261256">bug #261256</a>. |

| <div> |
| <p><strong>API Compatibility:</strong> |
| For 1.0, we will attempt to maintain as much API compatibility with our 0.9.0 release from November 2011 as possible. We will likely be removing some API that should not have been public and cleaning up accidental exposure of non-API classes. |
| </p> |
| <p><strong>Binary (plug-in) Compatibility:</strong> |
| We have no binary compatibility issues to discuss for 1.0. |
| </p> |
| <p><strong>Source Compatibility:</strong> |
| We have no source compatibility issues to discuss for 1.0. C/C++ projects should consult with the CDT regarding its source project compatibility (believed to be quite strong). |

| <div> |
| The Linux Tools project differs in aims |
| from |
| many Eclipse projects. It enables adopters of |
| Eclipse technology but |
| often through help with |
| consumption and not always through APIs. It also |
| aims to be a |
| place for collaboration among Linux distributions. |
| The project also aims to bring Eclipse technology to |
| Linux |
| developers by providing tools targetted at Linux |
| developers -- |
| specifically those programming in C and |
| C++. |

| </p:preamble> |
| <p:theme name="Getting the Eclipse SDK into Linux distributions"> |
| <p:description> |
| <div> |
| Most Linux distributions require all packages |
| included |
| therein to be built directly from source |
| code. This p:theme |
| encompasses the project goal of |
| assisting distributions in their |
| building and |
| packaging of the Eclipse SDK as well as |
| standardizing |
| practices and any patches needed. It |
| also aims to encourage and aid |
| distributions in |
| their attempts to drive unit test results down to |
| zero. |
