Stretch Roadmap
Hi all, I'd like to share my goals for the next release, feel free to comment and add yours as well so we can coordinate our efforts on the overlapping topics. * Java Runtime: - Complete the transition to Java 8 (22 FTBFS to go) - Provide Java 8 backports for Jessie and Wheezy - Start working on the Java 9 transition - Ensure our openjdk-8 package passes the TCK * Maven: - Upgrade Maven 3 to the latest version - Switch maven-debian-helper to Maven 3 - Remove Maven 2 * Tomcat: - Remove Tomcat 7 (but preserve the Servlet API 3.0 package) - Prepare Tomcat 9 * Jetty: Transition to the version 9 * Reproducible builds These are the items I'm committed to work on. If time allows I may also work on: * Gradle upgrade * Sonatype Nexus packaging * Gerrit packaging * Bring back Azureus to life Emmanuel Bourg signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Hi, my personal goals for Stretch are: * Keep all my packages which I introduced to the team up-to-date and in good shape. * Support newcomers who want to contribute to this team. - e.g. Google Summer of Code students who want to improve the Android SDK stack * Improve the documentation about packaging Java software for Debian. (wiki.debian.org) * Complete the OSGi / Felix transition. (all packages are ready in Git or experimental) * Update Eclipse. The latest version of Eclipse would be nice. It should be easier to make contributions. * Fix RC bugs in all packages as time permits. So far Markus signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

For CDBS #757386 is still pending. The main pain point with Gradle is the manual patching of the dependencies in the build files. I plan to experiment with a custom resolver that reuses the rule files from maven-debian-helper, this will greatly ease the packaging.

We need a helper that reuses the existing helpers since Gradle usage is usually just a layer on top of Maven. -- Miguel Landaeta, nomadium at debian.org secure email with PGP 0x6E608B637D8967E9 available at http://miguel.cc/key.

If it takes some time to get a first version of an openjdk-9 package I think I'll request a mass rebuild with the Oracle JDK so we can detect and start working early on the compatibility issues.

Maybe we could build the Zero VM as an independent package? Something similar to the openjdk-7-jre-dcevm package. So an issue with the Zero VM wouldn't block progress with the main VM.

I am already packaging flamingo/substance/trident which uses gradle
(using osmosis as a debian/rules template:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/osmosis.git/tree/debian/rules):
I am using (toplevel build.gradle):
repositories {
flatDir name: '/usr/share/java', dir: '/usr/share/java'
}
and then (/build.gradle):
compile ':swt'
compile ':jcip-annotations-1.0'
(of course, as you stated, it would be good to get rid of the need to
patch all /build.gradle)

I hope that this won't require poms for all dependencies. I.e.,
freeplane (which uses gradle in version 1.4) depends on
libjlatexmath-java which does not provide a pom.
Sorry about my ignorance concerning maven :-/
That said, I'd like to offer my help for this. I know quite a bit about
gradle, as I moved freeplane from ant to gradle (including OSGi
plugins), and we're using gradle at work.
Cheers and Best Regards,

RE: flamingo/substance/trident update (affects r-deps triplea, jajuk, bgfinancas)
Hi Felix, I am developing version 3 of bgfinancas in JavaFX that no longer using the substance, but either way, an update is welcome XD

That's a valid approach and I have used it in the past. However, it
would be easier to don't fight gradle and just point it to our Maven
repo.

Please file a bug requesting to add the missing pom in
libjlatexmath-java.

That's good to know. Maybe we can ask you for help when we proceed to
update gradle during "stretch" development cycle.
