Introduction

Although the first phase of moving Hudson to Eclipse, the project proposal is complete, this is only the beginning of a longer road. This page documents the remaining steps and additional phases and will tie in other topics relating to the move to the Eclipse Foundation.

Phases in the Creation Review Process

This section collates the actions that must be completed in order to take this proposal through the next stage of the Eclipse process, namely the Creation Review process

Pre-review Phase

Action	State	Information
Proposal document created and submitted to the Eclipse Management Org(EMO)
Proposal document posted by the Eclipse EMO for review		Proposal document
Monitor forum for feedback and Questions		Ongoing monitoring required Forum Thread
Tracking record created in Eclipse Bugzilla to track the proposal		Tracking Record
Identify mentors from the Eclipse Architecture Council		Mik Kersten Gunnar Wagenknecht
Trademark transfer to Eclipse Foundation		Ongoing but not blocking
Define the initial set of committers		Winston Prakash, Oracle (Project Lead) Denis Tyrell, Oracle (Project Lead) Geoff Waymark, Oracle Duncan Mills, Oracle Susan Duncan, Oracle Jason van Zyl, Sonatype Stuart McCulloch, Sonatype Jason Dillon, Sonatype Lucas Panjer, Tasktop Doug MacEachern, VMware
Project leads identified		Winston Prakash Denis Tyrell
Bios for each committer		See "Comitter Bios"
PMC approval email obtained and forwarded to EMO
Meet qualitative requirements		See sub-list below for breakdown
Schedule Creation Review		Underway

Qualitative Requirements for Creation Review

Requirement	Met?	Comments
Enough Developers
Clear and Concise Description		Although the forum has indeed had some traffic, none of this has related to the clarity of the proposal
Collaborations		Inbuilt collaboration with both Mylin and Maven already obvious
Sufficient Time for the Community		Minimum required time for public consultation has elapsed
Evidence of Activity		We're in good shape here

Creation Review

The creation review process itself does not involve a call, it will, however, require certain actions to be completed as listed above in the pre-review phase actions.

Action	State	Information
Creation review passed		23-29th June 2011

Post Creation Provisioning Phase

At this point we'll be in the parallel IP process where work can begin on getting the project into Eclipse whilst the IP is still being investigated

The major items to be worked on are:

Submit Initial Code Contribution (see below)
Develop the project website and wiki
Move core bugs from JIRA to Bugzilla - Documented here:
Identify any infrastructure and wiki/website updates for plugins

Initial Contribution

Documented here

Action	State	Information
Project provisioned
Removal, replacement or alternate licensing of identified LGPL code		See LGPL Cleanup list below
Namespace refactoring before check-in		Package names to the org.eclipse.hudson format + suitable adaptors for plugins
Eclipse Copyright and License notices applied to source		https://github.com/hudson/hudson/commits/eclipse-move2
Eclipse notices (about.html etc)
Initial contribution packaged and attached to Bugzilla initial contribution issue		https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=Hudson&content=Initial+Contribution
Fill in Contribution Questionnaire in the Foundation Portal
Attach code contribution to Questionnaire when requested

LGPL Cleanup

The following libraries are known to be a problem and need to be removed from the Core contribution codebase. They will either be replaced or abstracted out into plug-ins that can live externally from Eclipse.

Library	Tracking Issue	Information	Status
Java Native Access	HUDSON-8847	Additional jars removed org.jruby.ext.posix:jna-posix:1.0.3 net.java.dev.jna:jna:3.2.4 com.sun.akuma:akuma:1.4 org.jvnet.libpam4j:libpam4j:1.2 org.jvnet.libzfs:libzfs:0.5 org.jvnet.winp:winp org.jvnet.hudson:memory-monitor:1.3 org.kohsuke.jinterop:j-interop:2.0.6-kohsuke-1	Moved to an external plugin released from github for the Eclipse Alpha release. Before the final release a HawtJNI plugin will be bundled in core to completely replace the JNA support.
JCIFS (http://jcifs.samba.org)	HUDSON-8843		dependency on one of the other libs listed in this table. Removed from core and bundled in appropriate external plugins as described in this table
XOM (http://www.xom.nu)	HUDSON-8845		as above
JCaptcha (http://www.jcaptcha.net/)	HUDSON-8844		Moved to an external plugin release from github. Available from Alpha release
JCommon (http://www.jfree.org/jcommon/)	HUDSON-8846		dependency on other libraries as JCIFS above
JFreeChart (http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/)	HUDSON-8846	This is removed as part of JFreeChart removal	Moved to an external plugin. Available from Alpha release. Any external plugins using JFreechart will need to add a dependency on this external plugin to maintain compatibility. For future charting needs BIRT Charts is now bundled as a core plugin
Winstone http://winstone.sourceforge.net	HUDSON-8899	According to the license - As of v0.8.1, all other files are dual-licensed, under either the Lesser GNU Public License (LGPL) as described in LICENSE-LGPL.txt, or the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) as decribed in LICENSE-CDDL.txt.
