It has been mentioned several times that we should be looking to
release Geronimo 2.2 before the end of the year (preferrably mid-
December).
Before we can consider a release there are a large number of
snapshots that need to be removed/replaced in our project. Can
anybody shed any light on these (or others that I may have missed)?
OpenEJB 3.1-SNAPSHOT - Actually, OpenEJB 3.1 was released in late
October. However, the trunk version was never updated and some
additional changes have been included. Recent changes in Geronimo
trunk now require this snapshot that is actually newer than the 3.1
release. IMO we should revert the trunk change and attempt to work
with the released OpenEJB 3.1.
Axis2 SNAPSHOT (yep, it's just SNAPSHOT without a number). IIUC
correctly we need to get an Axis2 release before we can consider a
Geronimo 2.2 release. Does anybody know how close we are to getting
an Axis2 release?
Axiom SNAPSHOT (yep. it's just SNAPSHOT too). I believe this is
required by Axis2 ... so if Axis2 is released then they will have to
get Axiom released as well (and we can pick up the released version).
-xBean 3.5-SNAPSHOT. Is this snapshot really required (I presume it
must be)? In branches/2.1 we're still using 3.3. It looks like the
latest released version is 3.4.3. I'll give that a shot if I don't
hear from anybody that we really need 3.5.
xbean-naming 3.5 is required. Normally we release all xbean modules
at once.
-wadi 2.1-SNAPSHOT. Is this snapshot really required (I presume it
must be)? In branches/2.1 we're using 2.0. What function requires
2.1-SNAPSHOT and is can somebody directly involved with wadi provide
an estimate on when this might be released?
-geronimo_j2ee-connector_1.6_spec 1.0-EA-SNAPSHOT. Are we at a
point where we can release this spec or do we need to wait until we
verify tck?
I wish I knew. I guess we could release any number of x.y-EA followed
by 1.0 after the spec is final and we get the tck.
- geronimo-jaspi_1.0_spec 1.0-SNAPSHOT. Are we at a point where we
can release this spec or do we need to wait until we verify tck?
Here at least the spec is done. I guess we need to ask geir to look
for a tck for it.
- geronimo-servlet_3.0_spec 1.0-EA-SNAPSHOT. Are we at a point
where we can release this spec or do we need to wait until we verify
tck?
Same as connector 1.6 although probably less stable.
- geronimo-jaspi 1.0-SNAPSHOT. This is a new geronimo component.
How close is this to being able to be released?
Let me think about this a bit.... probably close to releasable.
- geronimo-concurrent_1.0_spec 1.0-SNAPSHOT. How close is this to
being able to be released?
- XmlSchema SNAPSHOT (yep, it's just SNAPSHOT). I believe this is
also related to Axis2 dependencies and will have to be resolved by
Axis2 as they release.
- woden* 1.0-SNAPSHOT. This is also related to Axis2 and will have
to be resolved for an Axis2 release so we will pull in whatever they
require.
- selenium-maven-plugin 1.0-rc-1-SNAPSHOT. I believe that we pulled
this in trying to resolve the FF3 issues. It's not clear to me if
we would have to remove this SNAPSHOT prior to a release but I think
it would be best to ensure that the tagged release can always be
built and run with tests - therefore I think we should remove it.
Any other opinions?
We should remove it. I think they tagged a working version, don't
recall the situation regarding publishing the result.... dont see it
in the nexus index, but may not have the correct repo.
- jspc-maven-plugin 2.0-alpha-2-SNAPSHOT. I'm not sure why this is
updated (in branches/2.1 we use 2.0-alpha-1-20070806). Anybody
know? We should remove it.
- jspc-compiler-tomcat6 2.0-alpha-2-SNAPSHOT. I'm not sure why this
was updated either. In branches/2.1 we updated the maven plugin
(above) but not the compiler but in trunk both were updated to the
alpha-2-SNAPSHOT. Anybody know why?
- ianal-maven-plugin 1.0-alpha-1-SNAPSHOT. No doubt to support the
new legal file processing. Is there a released version we can use
instead of the SNAPSHOT or do we need to get a release here are well?
There's a 1.0-alpha-1 version published.
I strongly recommend nexus.... it really helps investigating these
questions (this one took about 3 seconds).
IMO we should use genesis 2.0 which I think already uses ianal and has
all the needed configuration for it.
