Eclipse Project 3.5 Plan items that affect Platform Workspace
-
See Eclipse Project 3.5 Plan
- Compare editor improvements We will address some of the limitations of the current compare editor framework. Possible work areas include: pluggable compare viewers/tools, automatic updating of differences, better presentation for changes, support for auto-merge, ability to hide outgoing annotations, better handling of hunks, and more features from standard editors within compare editors. (252662)
- Team sharable working sets The usefulness of working sets is limited by the fact they are not team sharable. We will provide support for sharing working set information between team members. (252663)
Overall Platform Workspace 3.5 Plan
The overall themes for this release are detailed below (Note, at this point, these are just items that we could potentially address):
- Adopt new menu/commands (196349): The new menu/commands story has been evolving over the last few releases and should be in a state in 3.5 that will allow the Team, Compare and CVS plug-ins to adopt the support.
- Adapt editor functionality to Compare Editor (169386):
We should continue to provide as much editor capabilities as possible in the compare editor.
- Improve unmatched patch handling: There are several improvements that can be made around patch handling.
Some examples are:
- Better visual feedback in the merge viewer when portions of a patch cannot be matched so that the user understands what to do and has some additional tools to help them find a match. (190844)
- General proxy settings improvements: There are several issues we would like to address:
- History View improvements:
- Create compare tool to generate a patch from any comparison:
- Builder should be able to specify scheduling rule (198591).
- Performance: There are several performance issues we would like to address:
- See the list (Query)
Platform Workspace 3.5 Plan - optional items
- Compare with Each Other (193321): We would like to provide a more Synchronize view like work flow to the Compare with Each Other action.
- Address Model-based Synchronize View regressions (172027): When the model-based Synchronize view was introduced in 3.2, there were several regressions that prevented CVS from removing support for the old-style Synchronizations. It would be good if these regressions could be addressed.
