Eclipse 3.4

Summary

Re-base to Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede).

Owner

• Name: Andrew Overholt

Current status

• Targeted release: Fedora 10
• Last updated: 2008-07-14
• Percentage of completion: 40%

Benefit to Fedora

The latest bells and whistles :)

Scope

See 452875

• use p2
  • decide (with other distros and in consultation with upstream) about dropins location
  • update pdebuild.sh to generate p2 metadata
  • ensure our metadata is properly read by p2 if we're going to use the dropins approach for additional plugins
  • ensure our arch-specific/arch-independent split still worksmove everything to %{_libdir}/eclipse
• ensure we have all dependent packages updated and OSGi-ified a la Orbit
• get sat4j reviewed
• ensure secondary arches can still build and run

Test Plan

Automated upstream tests, daily usage, 3rd party plugin installation

User Experience

The user should see a seamless upgrade from eclipse-*-3.3.2 to eclipse-*-3.4.0. Unfortunately, 3rd party plugins users have installed (into ~/.eclipse) will probably no longer work without re-installation (see Eclipse.org bug 223434.

Dependencies

• sat4j (Review Request)
• OSGi-ifying: objectweb-asm (probably with a sub-package, objectweb-asm-eclipse or something)
  • get a mega-asm bundle from the multiple JARs we have in Fedora now
• the rest of the dependencies from Eclipse 3.3 except Tomcat (actually, still need Tomcat for the servlet{,.jsp} API and jasper sub-packages)

JARs we'll need to have to be able to symlink

These are all the JARs in the source drop. The source ones will be generated by the build so ignore those.

JAR filename	Containing package	More info
com.ibm.icu_3.8.1.v20080530.jar	icu4j	Upgrade to 3.8.1?Done
com.jcraft.jsch_0.1.37.v200803061811.jar	jsch	Ensure we have the proper version and MANIFEST.MF data.Done
javax.servlet.jsp_2.0.0.v200806031607.jar	tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api	Ensure we have the proper MANIFEST.MF data.Done
javax.servlet_2.4.0.v200806031604.jar	tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api	Ensure we have the proper MANIFEST.MF data.Done
org.apache.ant_1.7.0.v200803061910/lib/*	ant	I think we're good here.
org.apache.commons.el_1.0.0.v200806031608.jar	jakarta-commons-el	Done
org.apache.commons.logging_1.0.4.v20080605-1930.jar	jakarta-commons-logging	Done
org.apache.jasper_5.5.17.v200806031609.jar	tomcat5-jasper-eclipse	We have 5.5.26 but upstream ships against 5.5.17. We may need to see if anything has a hard version requirement on 5.5.17. Done
org.apache.lucene.analysis_1.9.1.v20080530-1600.jar	lucene	Ensure 2.3.x we have in Fedora still works. Done
org.apache.lucene_1.9.1.v20080530-1600.jar	lucene	Ensure 2.3.x we have in Fedora still works. Done
org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer_2.0.0.v20080611-1715.jar	eclipse-ecf	For now, build as part of SDK build. In the future, we can have an eclipse-ecf package which builds and owns these files. Parts of ECF other than the filetransfer stuff (which is all the SDK uses) have dependencies on things we don't have in Fedora (Smack version 2 -- upstream is porting to 3.x; ch.ethz.iks.r_osgi.remote; ch.ethz.iks.slp).
org.eclipse.ecf.identity_2.0.0.v20080611-1715.jar	eclipse-ecf
org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.ssl_1.0.0.v20080611-1715.jar	eclipse-ecf
org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer_2.0.0.v20080611-1715.jar	eclipse-ecf
org.eclipse.ecf.ssl_1.0.0.v20080611-1715.jar	eclipse-ecf
org.eclipse.ecf_2.0.0.v20080611-1715.jar	eclipse-ecf
org.eclipse.osgi/osgi/osgi.cmpn.jar	internal to Eclipse	Ensure unnecessary for build.
org.eclipse.osgi/osgi/osgi.core.jar	internal to Eclipse	Ensure unnecessary for build.
org.eclipse.osgi/supplement/osgi/osgi.jar	internal to Eclipse	Ensure unnecessary for build.
org.eclipse.swt.tools/swttools.jar	internal to Eclipse	Ensure unnecessary for build.
org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86/swt.jar	internal to Eclipse	Ensure unnecessary for build.
org.eclipse.swt/extra_jars/exceptions.jar	internal to Eclipse	Ensure unnecessary for build.
org.junit4/junit.jar	junit4	No work needed.
org.junit_3.8.2.v20080602-1318/junit.jar	junit	No work needed.
org.mortbay.jetty_5.1.14.v200806031611.jar	jetty	Upgrade to 5.1.14? Verify new build has proper OSGi data in MANIFEST.MF.Done
org.objectweb.asm_3.1.0.v200803061910.jar	objectweb-asm	Need to get monolithic OSGi-ified JAR OR patch pde.api to use the multiple jars (and will have to add OSGi MANIFEST.MFs to them). The vast majority of the imports are included in asm-3.1.jar but two are in asm-tree-3.1.jar and one is in asm-util-3.1.jar. See this file for more details. Update 2008-07-07: Alexander Kurtakov has done the work to OSGi-ify asm-all.jar (which wasn't in Fedora). Patch application request. Done.
org.sat4j.core_2.0.0.v20080602.jar	sat4j	Review request Pending Fedora CVS module creation.
org.sat4j.pb_2.0.0.v20080602.jar	sat4j	Review request Pending Fedora CVS module creation.

Contingency Plan

Stick with Eclipse 3.3.2.

Release Notes

We may need a release note if we don't get user-installed plugins working.
