Work Completed
- I am nearly finished with the Eclipse build process upgrade. I found the issue with the build that kept it from building the correct configuration file and a separate set of test plugins. Previously it was building them into one zip file and since the test plugins were added later, their configuration file overwrote the correct one. I also cleaned up the build process by taking advantage of some of the new features that allow defined Eclipse features to reach across boundaries for required plugins. Previously, if ncsa.feature.one and ncsa.feature.two each had a plugin requiring ncsa.plugin.one, it would have to be defined as a dependency in both features, making for some ugly features. I have also eliminated outdated plugins. While cleaning these up, something has caused the build to be come unstable since the test feature cannot find some required plugins. I'm not sure why this is and I am looking into the issue. Can Unen was asking about the build so I continue to make the completion of the build upgrade my top priority.
- Attended CET staff meeting by google chat. I will try to contribute to the wiki pages with comments where I can.
Work Planned
- Continue working on daily build upgrade to Eclipse 3.5
- After the build process is stable, I would like to upgrade MAEviz to use Eclipse 3.5 features and remove deprecated classes (e.g. the main RCP class should now extend IApplication and not IPlatformRunnable).
- Attend CET Staff Meeting on Friday from 1 - 3 pm
- If Jong is back this week, I will help prepare any TRANSIMS proposal material that we need, otherwise this will be deferred to the following week.
