| The Target Management Project provides data models, frameworks and tools |
| for working with remote computer systems. |
| The main deliverable is the Remote System Explorer (RSE), a feature-rich |
| integrated perspective and toolkit for seamlessly working on |
| remote systems. Besides that, we deliver flexible, re-usable |
| components for Networking and Target Management that run stand-alone |
| or integrated with RSE. |
| <p> |
| In terms of interfaces to other Eclipse projects, we provide an |
| Eclipse Filesystem (EFS) provider to allow remote resources be |
| mapped into an Eclipse Workspace. The DLTK and CDT projects are |
| other Eclipse projects known to integrate with Target Management. |

| <li>The Discovery component is being retired with the TM 3.3 release. |

| |
| <p>Apple Mac OS X 10.5 is considered a "secondary" Reference Platform |
| meaning that it does receive some amount of systematic testing but |
| doesn't enjoy quite the same priority for bug fixes as the other |
| Platforms.</p> |
| |
| <p>Eclipse and Target Management undoubtedly run fine |
| in many operating environments beyond the reference platforms we test. |
| However, since we do not systematically test them we cannot vouch for them. |
| Problems encountered when running Target Management on a non-reference platform |
| that cannot be recreated on any reference platform will be given lower |
| priority than problems with running Target Management on a reference platform.</p> |
| |
| <p>Although untested, Target Management should work fine on other OSes that |
| support the same window system. For more details, see the |
| <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?planurl=http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/plans/eclipse_project_plan_3_7.xml#target_environments"> |
| Eclipse Project Plan 3.7 Reference Platforms</a>.</p> |
| |
| <h4> |
| Datastore Agent Reference Platforms |
| </h4> |
| <p>The Datastore protocol is the default protocol shipped with RSE for |
| accessing remote file systems, process info and shells. It requires a |
| Datastore server (agent) running on the remote system. |
| This Datastore agent is shipped as plain Java Source Code together with the |
| RSE distribution. It should run fine on any Java Platform, with additional |
| Data Miner Plug-ins that may be OS specific.</p> |
| <p>We will test and verify the Datastore agent on the following Reference |
| Platforms, which are a subset of the Platforms we test the RSE UI on:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Red Hat Enterprise Linx 4, Intel x86, Sun 1.5.0_14 VM</li> |
| <li>SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, Intel x86, IBM 1.4.2 sr 7 VM</li> |
| <li>Apple Mac OS X 10.5, Power, Apple J2SE 5 sr 4 VM</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| </div><h3>Internationalization</h3><p> |
| The Remote System Explorer is designed as the basis for internationalized |
| products. The user interface elements provided by the RSE |
| components, including dialogs and error messages, are externalized. The |
| English strings are provided as the default resource bundles. |
| The default bundles will be localized to a subset of those |
| locales offered by the Platform. This plan will be updated to indicate |
| which locales will be provided and the timeframe for availability.</p> |
| <p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="compatibility">Compatibility with Previous Releases</a></h2><div> |
| <p><a name="m_compatibility">Target Management 3.3</a> will be backward compatible with TM 3.2.</p> |
| <p> |
| <strong>API Contract Compatibility:</strong> Target Management 3.3 will be |
| compatible with TM 3.2 as per the constraints documented in the TM 3.2 API Docs. |
| </p> |
| <p><strong>Binary (plug-in) Compatibility:</strong> Target Management 3.3 will be |
| binary compatible with TM 3.2. |
| </p> |
| <p><strong>Source Compatibility:</strong> Target Management 3.3 will likely not be |
| source compatible with TM 3.2. |
| </p> |
| <p><strong>Workspace Compatibility:</strong> We intend to keep Target Management |
| 3.3 upwards workspace-compatible with TM 3.2 unless noted. |
| This means that workspaces and projects created with TM 3.2 can be successfully |
| opened by Target Management 3.3 and upgraded to a 3.3 workspace. |
| This includes especially TM 3.2 connection definitions, which may propagate |
| between workspaces via file copying or team repositories. |
| User interface session state may be discarded when a workspace is upgraded. |
| Downward workspace compatibility is not supported. |
| A workspace created (or opened) by a product based on TM 3.3 may be unusable |
| with a product based on TM 3.2. |
| </p> |
| <h3>API Contract</h3> |
| <p>APIs published for the Target Management 3.3 release will be carefully |
| reviewed prior to release, making use of "internal" packages for |
| unsupported and variable implementation classes. Client plug-ins that |
| directly depend on anything other than what is specified in the |
| published API are inherently unsupportable and receive no guarantees |
| about future compatibility. Refer to <i><a href="http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-API-Use/index.html">How |
| to Use the Eclipse API</a></i> for information about how to write |
| compliant plug-ins.</p> |
| </div><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="themes_and_priorities">Themes and Priorities</a></h2><div> |
| <p>Plan items listed <a name="m_themes">below</a> were defined according to contributor requirements, |
| but in accordance with the Target Management |
| <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/tm/doc/TM_Use_Cases_v1.1c.pdf"> |
| Use Cases Document</a> and the Eclipse |
| <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/RequirementsCouncilThemesAndPriorities#Embedded_Device_Software"> |
| Themes and Priorities</a> |
| set forth by the Eclipse Requirements Council. |
| Each plan item covers a feature or API that is to be added to the |
| Target Management deliverables, or some aspect of the Target |
| Management Project that is to be improved. Each plan item has its |
| own entry in the Eclipse bugzilla database, with a title and a |
| concise summary (usually a single paragraph) that explains the |
| work item at a suitably high enough level so that everyone can |
| readily understand what the work item is without having to understand |
| the nitty-gritty detail. |
| </p> |
| <p>Not all plan items represent the same amount of work; some may be quite |
| large, others, quite small. Although some plan items are for work that is |
| more pressing than others, the plan items appear in no particular order. |
| See the corresponding bugzilla items for up-to-date status information on |
| ongoing work and planned delivery milestones. |
| </p> |
| <p>The current status of each plan item is noted: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><b>Committed</b> plan item - A committed plan item is one that we have |
| decided to address for the release. In bugzilla, this is reflected by |
| having a concrete target milestone assigned.</li> |
| <li><b>Proposed</b> plan item - A proposed plan item is one that we are |
| considering addressing for the release. Although we are actively |
| investigating it, we are not yet in a position to commit to it, or to say |
| that we won't be able to address it. After due consideration, a proposal |
| will either be committed or deferred. In bugzilla, such items are reflected |
| by having a target milestone "3.3" assigned.</li> |
| <li><b>Deferred</b> plan item - A reasonable proposal that will not make it in |
| to this release for some reason is marked as deferred with a brief note as |
| to why it was deferred. Deferred plan items may resurface as committed plan |
| items at a later point. In bugzilla, such items are reflected by having |
| a target milestone "Future" or "---" assigned.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </div><h3>Improve Release Engineering</h3><p> |
| For the constantly growing TM code size and committer base, it is important to have a |
| reliable but easy-to-use <a name="tp_releng">release engineering</a> system. Required features include automatic |
| signing and adoption of Orbit, easy promoting to the Eclipse Servers and Indigo, |
| running automated unit tests with automatic reporting of test failures to the mailing |
| lists, ability and description for running the releng build on any adopter's system. |
| In bugzilla, these items are tagged with <b>"[releng]"</b> in the Summary |

| As the TM Codebase is growing, it is important to secure its functionality with |
| <a name="tp_unittest">unit tests</a> against regressions. Since large portions of RSE especially are UI |
| code, there should be an automated UI test suite run every night. Tests should |
| automatically run on all supported host platforms against all supported target |
| platforms. Adopters should be able to run a TM test suite on their own systems |
| easily, and configure it for sanity checking or compliance testing their own |
| connector plug-ins. |
