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.
</p><h2><a name="release_deliverables">Release Deliverables</a></h2><p>
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.

For releases &lt;= 0.2, the tools run with Eclipse 3.4.x (some may still require
updating from 3.3 in places) and require Java 5.0. Some
tools -- notable the autotools and profiling plugins -- require CDT &gt;= 5.0.0 (6.0 for our 0.3 release and greater).
For releases &gt;= 0.3, the tools run with Eclipse 3.5.x and related dependencies.
For release 0.6, the tools run with Eclipse 3.6.x (Helios) and related dependencies.
For release 0.7, the tools run with Eclipse 3.6.x (Helios and related dependencies.
For releases 0.8, the tools run with Eclipse 3.7.x (Indigo) and related dependencies.
</p><p>
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.
</p><h3>Internationalization</h3>
<p>
The tools aim to have all strings externalized so as to
facilitate internationalization. At present, no
translations are provided. See bug #261255 and bug #261256.

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><h3>Getting the Eclipse SDK into Linux distributions</h3><p>
Most Linux distributions require all packages
included
therein to be built directly from source
code. This 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.

Getting plugins into Linux distributions relates to
the
project's goal of making it easier to build and
package Eclipse
plugins for Linux distributions. At
present it includes shell
scripts and best practice
documentation. In the future, we aim to
provide
Eclipse plugins to help packagers.

We should continue to add features to and improve the
robustness of the RPM specfile editor and its related plugins.

Tracing frameworks such as SystemTap and LTTng enable
users to solve complex problems through data analysis.
We aim to provide a framework for working with tracing toolkits
and provide an exemplary implementation for LTTng.
</p><ul><li><b>Committed</b></li></ul><ul><li><b>Proposed</b></li></ul><h3>Unify and expand upon existing profiling UIs</h3><p>
At present we have integration plugins for OProfile,
gprof, and perf. We aim to unify the user interaction with these
underlying profiling tools and provide a consistent way of
visualizing the data they provide and its integration with
views and source code editors in Eclipse.
</p><ul><li><b>Committed</b></li></ul><ul><li><b>Proposed</b></li></ul><h3>Integrate with PackageKit</h3><p>
The PackageKit project provides a method for interacting
with the various Linux package managers. By providing plugins that
integrate with PackageKit, we can do interesting things like
prompting for missing build requirements in a C/C++ project,
extend p2 metadata to prompt for installing non-OSGi bundles, and more.
</p><ul><li><b>Committed</b></li></ul><ul><li><b>Proposed</b></li></ul><h3>Improve Valgrind integration</h3><p>
The present state of Valgrind integration in the Linux Tools Project
allows C/C++ Eclipse users to easily profile their code using the
Memcheck, Massif and Cachegrind tools. The results of the run are integrated
into the workbench through views and editors that users would expect to see. Our
future goal is to improve the incentive of using Valgrind with
Eclipse versus the command line. One such feature we hope to offer is to
be able profile projects in your local workspace on remote machines.

In order to ease the lives of our consumer community, we will work towards a more stable API.
As part of this effort, we will track our usage of the internal APIs of our dependencies.
We will also attempt to regularly run the PDE API Tools on our code base to ensure we don't break our own API.
