IAM ====== Name: Eclipse For Java Developers Submitter: Alexandre Iline Owner: Mark Carlson Intern: Michael Kearney Interest: Status: inception scheduled 10/21/2008 Comment: preinception held 10/07/2008 Exposure: open SUMMARY ======= Eclipse is an integrated development environment (IDE). Eclipse for Java Developer is one of the most popular open source Java IDEs, providing functionality in order to simplify development of extensible, modular and cooperating Java based desktop applications. URL: http://www.eclipse.otg. ISSUES ====== jhf-0 eclipse.org seems like it is a conglomeration of various components. Which projects from the community is this Sun project covering? jhf-1 Section 2.2 describes the release binding for the project. The answer to the question states that eclipse it is a Major release. Is that correct? What is the delivery mechanism for this project? Is it a Minor release of Solaris? jhf-2 What is the installation location? Is it really /usr/eclipse? jhf-3 Besides the eclipse binary is there anything else delivered? Are there any jar files delivered? jhf-4 The package name in the interface table is called eclipse. Is this an SVr4 package or IPS package? jhf-5 Is the project using the JDK that is installed on the system or is it using its own JDK? mhm-1 What consolidation is this going through? mhm-2 What is the j6dev package? What ARC case is that from? mhm-3 Related to jhf-4. Is that package name following package name rules? mhm-4 Is there a man page for this? Could you please put it in materials directory? THE NEXT STEP ============= Where is the interface table? -Project team wants to wait until a future review when they better understand what they will deliver. What determines whether you go to ARC is: Are you exposing interfaces to customers from Sun projects. If people feel the case material once submitted is adequate, then go to commitment otherwise do another inception. This case points out shortcomings of FOSS checklist. Committee to discuss after this meeting. Schedule on agenda for next meeting -30 minutes. Security questionnaire to be reviewed by project team to determine anything else relevant to this case. Issues above to be discussed at next review once the project team better understands what needs to be delivered.
