There are many ways in which an eclipse project can be run and still follow the guidelines provided by the Eclipse Development Process. The EDP is not the same as the Eclipse Project's Development Process which many existing projects follow. The EDP allows for a project to choose how best to run its project using any technique they desire. This talk will show how the XSL Tools component in the Web Tools Platform has been able to apply concepts from SCRUM and XP while still meeting the development goals and timelines outlined by the EDP. It will also review some of the existing growing pains that the EPDP process can run into and how implementing some of the SCRUM and XP concepts can help avoid or eliminate some of these problems.
The talk will review such topics as:
- Continuous Integration Builds
- Importance of Unit Tests and Bug Fixes
- Managing your bug backlog and providing visibility into your management process
- Communicating overall plans and goals to the community
- Publishing and making visible build results.
