| <p>WTP PMC Minutes for April 12, 2005 Conference Call</p> |
| Attending: Tim Wagner [TW], David Williams [DW], Arthur Ryman [AR], Dominique De Vito [DD], Christophe Ney |
| [CN], Jochen Krause [JK], Naci Dai [ND] Others: Lawrence Mandel (representing WTP community) [LM] |
| <h1>WTP PMC Minutes for April 12, 2005 Conference Call</h1> |
| <h2>Procedural matters - None</h2> |
| <h2>Community [LM]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>EclipseWorld tutorial proposal in flight.</li> |
| <li>AR created presentation archive see email on WTP list. This is intended to be a repository |
| for presentation materials.</li> |
| <li>AR talking at Colorado Software Summit on Web Services development in Eclipse and WSDL 2.0.</li> |
| <li>Help system: successful internal build; should be incorporated into this weeks I-build. |
| Requested Bugzilla documentation component (PMC approved request). Will be contacting BEA for help |
| with documentation content work.</li> |
| </ul> |
| [PMC members only for the remaining portion of the meeting] |
| <h2>API Review</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>PMC reviewed API statistics</li> |
| <li>j2ee.core component identified as not making sufficient progress; the bulk of its models will |
| need to be turned provisional. Potential migration of flexible project model to platform in 3.2 is a |
| possible stumbling block in finalizing API in that area.</li> |
| <li>Clarified renaming/repackaging strategy to be complete by end of M4.</li> |
| <li>Continued progress on removing unintended APIs: dropped from 4,326 to 3,349. Overall metric for |
| 4/11 build is 59.</li> |
| <li>Summary from April 11th build report: 35% JUnit coverage, 95% JavaDoc coverage, 9/14 overview |
| docs. See <a |

| http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/N-N20050411-200504111848/apitools/api-progress.html</a>. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Requirements Group Report [JK]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>No news to report; will begin including this in the agenda on a bi-weekly basis.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Architecture Group Report [DW]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Validation framework API deferred.</li> |
| <li>XML resolver/catalog API deferred.</li> |
| <li>See flexible project model notes above.</li> |
| <li>Separate XERCES plugin build likely this week.</li> |
| <li>XML and WSDL dependency on JDT should be removed this week.</li> |
| <li>GEMs M6 readiness is late; may cause us to introduce a late dependency change into our own |
| build.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>XPDL Proposal and Discussion of WTP Criteria for Submissions [JK]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>AR: standard body must be recognized, but standard must also be popular and open source runtime |
| available, and standard must be in scope.</li> |
| <li>AR: Criteria for standards body: open to new members, broad industry participation, |
| established/history.</li> |
| <li>CN: Maturity and adoption of standard should be part of our criteria.</li> |
| <li>ND: XPDL and BPEL would be better placed in a technology project; too far from general audience |
| of WTP.</li> |
| <li>PMC resolved to suggest a technology project, but agreed to review the proposal when written to |
| review vis-à-vis WTP charter.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>WTP 1.0 Product Forums [JK]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Idea would be to get interested parties to build on WTP 1.0, drive adoption, and gather |
| requirements for 1.1.</li> |
| <li>Timeframe: post 1.0 ship (easier to do once churn stops).</li> |
| <li>Requirements group will take this on and report back to the PMC when proposal is complete.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Eclipse Booth at JavaOne [TW]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>CN, DD, and TW will assist with staffing the booth; TW to respond to Ian.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Creation of XSL Component [DW]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Discussed contribution request (for 1.1; not on table for 1.0 release).</li> |
| <li>Normal committership process must be followed, despite size of contribution.</li> |
| <li>Can be made part of build so that its available for evaluation by committers and rest of |
| community.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Upcoming Milestone Build Process Ownership [DW]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Setting dates / versions for upstream components, driving test plans with component leads, |
| evaluation of candidates and convergence toward acceptance.</li> |
| <li>AR offered to support DW in this effort.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Build Status Reports [ND]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>New distribution list will be set up for build reports.</li> |
| <li>Progress on build status/result reporting compile failures now attached to email.</li> |
| <li>Will increase number of warmup builds.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Status Update on Ongoing Projects [AR]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Janet making progress on 3rd party content agreements; ETA is M4.</li> |
| <li>AXE will be going into the Lepido technology project.</li> |
| <li>DTP: Sybase and others meeting with IBM to go over code and make progress (see email to PMC).</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Action Items:</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>TW: finalize dates for release reviews with EMO (week of June 20th being discussed)</li> |
