[Os-project-managers] Meeting on September 29

[R. Kipp Martin]

Add to Java (from Jun):

We need to talk about these tomorrow.
1. The previous classpath that I checked out doesn't work, at least not 
in my new eclipse. I thought I changed it generically but may have 
caused trouble. I saw your new commit, and I will take a detailed look 
tonight.
2. There were some errors I encounteedr when invoking the get library 
script,, I adapted it a bit to make it work so that I get the most 
updated libraries. I didn't commit the script.
3. The source code that I checked in should strictly change the result 
description so that it no longer outputs the real path.
4. I can't find that the default "cbc" solver is set anywhere in the 
java code. I think it might be configured in your 
OSConfig/OSParameter.xml file.



> A lot to talk about:
>
> I. OSJava Server
>
> Mike Steglich is having considerable difficulty with our OSJava server.
> I have spent a lot of time helping him and so far not successful. He is
> an important customer and I do not want to alienate him. Among other
> things:
>
> 1) Based on Mike's email I think somehow the OSoL parser in Java and C++
> got out of sync. With each release of the C++ code, should we also do a
> release of the OSJava server project that we know is compatible? We
> could simply do an svn copy from the branches directory into the
> releases directory. I could check with Ted and Stefan to see if this is
> Kosher.
>
> 2) Following the steps in INSTALL.txt is cumbersome. Should we make an
> eclipse OSJava project that makes much of INSTALL.txt unnecessary?
> Ideally, all the user would have to do is i) run the get-third-party
> script, ii) add his Tomcat Server to the Eclipse project, and iii)
> export the WAR file.
>
> 3) Current version of OSJava on svn is broken. We need to fix.
>
> 4) What is the naming convention for OSSolverService that goes into
>
> webapps/WEB-INF/classes
>
> I am having trouble with this. It seems like sometimes OSSolverService
> works and sometimes it does not. If the wrong name is given, the correct
> name should be given in the error message.
>
> II -- Gus' trials and tribulations with memory leaks, segfaults, and
> wrong objective function values with OSCouenne solver.
>
> Gus -- do you want to add anything here?
>
> Cheers
