Charter
Allow running IDE on a user desktop (Windows or Linux), but compile, run and debug on a server of another architecture (Solaris Sparc, Solaris x86, or Linux).
User View
Please note, that the user view was written in the assumption we do deal with synchronization; so it should be changed as we agreed we don't do this at leas in the first release
Link to the user view expected in NetBeans 6.5
Link to the obsolete user view used in the prototype
Goals
- We will rely on a networked file system which shows the project folder on both the client and server
- Setup to run remotely should be simple and not require significant effort on the users part. A goal would be a normal NetBeans C/C++ installation being sufficient
- Remote operations must be as close to identical to local operations as is possible. If a user can do something locally, it should be extremely simple to do the same thing remotely
- The UI is kept as minimal as possible and the workflow as similar to normal (ie, local) development as possible
Reference Platform
- client: Windows XP SP2
- Server: Solaris 10 x86
Metrics
TBD
Test Plan
TestCases are here
To fill testcases with the exact scenarios for the implemented to milestone features. Immediate manual testing with the proposed testscenarious is assumed as soon as features will appear. Hope to have for it 3 days before every milestone. The resulted IZ's will appear in the link to the Test Results page
Schedule
| Milestone | Date | Content |
|---|---|---|
| RD0 | 6/13/2008 | Planning, Transport API, User View, Test Plan |
| RD1 | 6/27/2008 | Basic run, build, edit (with preliminary code assistance) |
| RD2 | 7/13/2008 | Path conversion, Show servers in Services tab, more complete build and edit, and basic debugging |
| RD3 | 8/17/2008 | UI and feature complete |
Risks and dependencies
- Must pass Sun security review
- NetBeans ships with JSch 0.28 (a fairly old version). We need to determine if this is good enough for us, or to work with NetBeans and upgrade to a recent release of JSch
