GEF 3.21 Release for Eclipse 2024-09 #455

Open azoitl opened 3 weeks ago

azoitl commented 3 weeks ago

This issue is used to track and coordinate the work for the GEF Classic 3.20.0 release to be contributed to the Eclipse 2024-03 release train. It shall serve as checklist as well as template for the upcoming release.

Would it makes sense to do the contribution one or two days before Wednesday, from now on?

It's always a little risky for me when we do our contribution, because it's usually before GEF, even though we depend on it.

I'm rather open any date that helps you.

According to the wiki, GEF would be a "+1" project. If the Eclipse milestone is contributed on a Friday, we would then ideally contribute on the next Monday.

The Eclipse project has, for example a "+0" offset: they provide their bits on the first day of any given milestone or RC date. A project like EMF is "+1" meaning that they provide their bits one day after the milestone or RC date. This basically indicates that EMF "depends on" Eclipse; they use the extra time to pull down the milestone/RC bits from their dependencies and run tests before they contribute their own bits to the milestone/RC. There are "+2" and "+3" projects as well. i.e. BIRT is "+2" because it depends on a number of "+1" projects.

Thx for looking up the process. When I started contributing GEF Classic to simrel I mostly just tired what worked. Should have been more carefull and read the docs. Updated the dates above accordingly. .
