Project Management
Setting up a development environment is hard!
We have a “monkey” for such kind of jobs
Discrepancies between development environment and
the final product

Project Team Set
Quickly import a bunch of projects from CVS/SVN
"Team Project Set" Export Wizard
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<psf version="2.0">
<provider id="org.eclipse.team.cvs.core.cvsnature">
<project reference="1.0,:pserver:my.company.repo:/repos,module/project1"/>
<project reference="1.0,:pserver:my.company.repo:/repos,module/project1"/>
...
<project reference="1.0,:ext:oss.org:/cvsroot/ns,module/project,v200909160005"/>
<project reference="1.0,:ext:oss.org:/cvsroot/ns,module/project,v200904131653"/>
...
</provider>
<workingSets ...></workingSets>
<psf>

Managing Project’s Resources
Separate back-end(core), front-end(ui), tests and release stuff
Enforce dependencies
Separate PHP from Resources
<buildpath>
<buildpathentrykind="src"path="core"/>
<buildpathentrykind="con"path="org.eclipse.php.core.LANGUAGE"/>
</buildpath>

Streamline Environment Setup
Manual configuration is the source of evil
Can be used later on by release systems
Cross-platform scripts to configure workspace
<projectname="Builds all parser classes"default="main">
<targetname="main">
<uptodateproperty=“isUpdated"src=“file1"target=“file2”/>
<if> ... <!– if file was updated -->
<phingcall target=“generateCode">
<propertyname=“prop1"value=“${value1}"/>
<propertyname=“prop2"value=“${value2}"/>
<phingcall/>
</if>
</target>
</project>

Streamline Environment Setup (2)
Invisible for developers, it just works!

Value #2: Courage

Value #3: Tools Matter

Value #4: Task Focus Programming

Task Management Systems
Episodic memory on specific tasks
Subset of information that is relevant to specific task
Focus on the content that is related to a specific task
Task focus interface - Activating a task what you’re working on is very clear, deactivating tasks brings back all content
Share context with developers
Task Repository viewer and history

Before
Information overload
Context loss when multi-tasking

After
Tasks are integratedSee only what you are working on
