<p>The eclipse team now in the 2.0 &quot;lockdown&quot; process which involves
a sequence of freeze/test/fix passes. We welcome everyone to help us test
and fix eclipse in these final stages before we finish 2.0. To participate,
you need to track to the same schedule we do, test when we do, and get
your <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/">bugs</a> logged in time for
them to be considered before the next freeze. It is critical that we all
test at the same time. At each freeze the &quot;bar&quot; is raised on
what is allowed to be changed, so windows of opportunity for fixing problems
are narrow. It is virtually impossible to track exactly to a plan this
detailed, so <i>we will update this schedule continuously to indicate
current status, and what we are testing.</i> Be warned - this plan *will*
change - check back frequently if you are participating with us. Bug reports
to <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/">bugzilla</a>. Process comments
should be flagged on <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/eclipse-dev">eclipse-dev</a>.</p>

version 1.0, eight months of hard work by the entire Eclipse community has
culminated in the release of version 2.0 of Eclipse. It is ready for download

this. A big thank you to everyone in the newsgroups, on the mailings lists

<p><b>Freeze</b> - Freeze time indicated is when the build starts. Target
is to have freeze candidate build available within 24 hours of freeze.
Getting a good, testable build may require multiple attempts in rapid
succession. Although we may have a build, it will not be declared &quot;the&quot;
freeze until the team validates the build and declares it good for testing.
We will keep respinning the build until freeze can be declared. It is
critical that we have enough time to do test passes. We will slide schedule
and use weekends as necessary if there are delays of more than 24 hours
in getting good freezes.</p>

<p><b>Test</b> - After a freeze is declared, the full test pass begins on
the freeze build. Each full test pass lasts 3 days. Each component team
must have a test plan to ensure adequate coverage of function and platforms
and to ensure everyone knows what to do. Each team is expected to have
at least 75% of the team testing during every test pass. The rest of the
team will be triaging bugs, preparing candidate fixes for critical problems
coming in, or working on documentation. <i>Everyone is encouraged to participate
in test passes and log bug reports to <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/">bugzilla</a>!
</i> If you uncover what you believe could be a serious or stop-ship problem,
or a regression from a previous build, please make this very clear in
the bug report. </p>

<p><b>Fix</b> - At each successive freeze, the rules for what changes are
allowed to the codebase, and what checks are required, become more restrictive.
NOTE: The rules apply to both fixes and feature work - any changes to
the code. All committers for a component have the right to veto a change
(with an explanation) even after it has been released into the codebase.
If such a veto occurs, the change automatically comes out unless the explanation
is shown to be invalid or the vetoing committer's concerns are addressed.
An Architecture Team member who approves work, or a Committer who checks
a change and does not veto it, takes joint responsibility for the change
with the Committer who releases it, and is implicitly agreeing to personally
help fix any problem caused by the change. Any Committer for any Eclipse
Project component can perform the checking duties.</p>
