* Presentation of the importance of CDT for PolarSys and other Eclipse Working Groups. (Gaël Blondelle)
+
** PolarSys focuses on tools for embedded systems
+
** It is aimed at many fields such as: Aerospace, Train, Telecom, etc
+
** It heavily relies on CDT
+
** It currently is putting effort in improving the modelling tools
+
** Many large companies are part of PolarSys
* New CDT release schedule
* New CDT release schedule
+
** New features every 4 months
+
** First time was CDT 8.3 which was just released with Kepler SR2
+
** Overhead is small, just an extra IP review
+
** The CDT releases matching SR1 and SR2 releases must still work on the platform they are aimed at
+
** Only backward-compatible changes can be done on the SR releases
* Hudson instance per project
* Hudson instance per project
+
** Need to add gdb so the debug tests can run
+
** Flaky tests confuse contributors that think their code caused a problem.
+
** Suggestion is to remove the flaky test from the job triggered by Gerrit, and have another job to run all tests for the committers that still care about those failing tests.
+
** Separate jobs to be used to test older GDB versions
* Community livelihood
* Community livelihood
+
** Discussion on how to increase contributions
+
** Lots of interest in CDT but not the contributions to match
+
** One proposed explanation is that it is less work to modify CDT in-house than contributing the changes
+
** As committers we should be as responsive as possible to Gerrit patches, and maybe also to bug reports
+
** Contributors are encouraged to ping on the mailing list to attract attention to a contribution that has gotten ignored

* Joint recap and minor topics: support for older GDBs, Java 7, etc.
* Standalone CDT Debugger (Jeff Johnston)
* Standalone CDT Debugger (Jeff Johnston)
+
** CDT debugger that can be run from the command-line
+
** Does everything CDT does except build (Build should be done on a shell console)
+
** Abstracts the concept of launch away from the user (although the user can still choose to use launches)
+
** No p2 support to install extra things
+
** Installing things can be done by installing them on the full Eclipse package and updating the launch script of the standalone debugger to include those features.
* Standalone Trace Tool (Alexandre Montplaisir)
* Standalone Trace Tool (Alexandre Montplaisir)

** Simplified version of the Eclipse TMF tools.

+
** Need to improve Breakpoint support, which is of interest to many, but no one has stepped up yet
+
* Support for older GDBs
+
** It was agreed that actively supporting GDB versions dating back to over 7 years is probably overkill
+
** We will propose to the mailing list that we will actively support a certain time range of GDB versions
+
** Other GDB versions should continue to work, but we don't actively test them or develop
features
for them

* New
Jobs API
(Sergey Prigogin)
+
*
* Concept of job groups
+
** Meant to allow for parallelism
+
** API to create job groups
+
** API to join() a group (i.e., wait for a group to finish)
+
** API for error handling on groups of jobs
+
** Some functionality of Eclipse can use those groups to dramatically improve their performance
