Attending: David Williams, Dominique De Vito, Arthur Ryman, Ivelin Ivanov, Jochen Krause

Code Contribution Inventory by Arthur

  • 3 rd party content that may not be compatible with EPL has been removed (M2 is only affected with regard to validation - Xerces parser)
  • Eclipse PMC will decide on including 3 rd party libraries
  • DTDs are not shipped anymore - first time access of these DTDs will require online internet access (DTDs remain cached afterwards)
  • Initial IBM code contribution (zip) has been removed as it is obsolete

  • create an integration build with M4 - if we detect problems we will declare the last build with Eclipse M3 as Web Tools M2

  • Problems with build machine led to gaps in the build cycle, there are work arounds for finalizing M2, build scripts will be updated after M2 (Naci)
