I'm reviewing the list of planned features [1] and current status
[2] of 2.2. The latter [2] is more up-to-date. It would be good to
make clear the areas that need some more work, so that people like
me can jump in and help. Currently the major development items I
see -
1. TCK, need a committer to do the job
2. MDB problems mentioned above
3. JMS portlets update mentioned above
4. Farm/cluster management (do we still want this in 2.2?)
What's the problem with (4)?
I've been assuming that the classloader work Gianny and I have been
working on in my sandbox would get into 2.2. At the moment I think
I have the classloader framework more or less working and I'm going
through the plugins working on setting up the required jar
dependencies. Only some of them can be derived from maven
dependencies. This is turning out to be a somewhat slow process.
I finally got the server to run with the one-classloader-per-jar
setup. After struggling with this for a couple of weeks and seeing
the difficultly of correctly configuring classloaders I don't think
we should put this into 2.2. For one thing classloading seems to be
pretty slow: it takes about 55 seconds to start the jetty-jee5 server.
At the moment I think a reasonable strategy would be to:
1. branch 2.2 off of trunk now
2. merge in the classloader work from my sandbox framework and local
copy
3. upgrade trunk version to 3.0-SNAPSHOT
4. work on using osgi classloading instead of our homegrown solution.
For 2.2 it would be nice to get jaspi officially OK and in. We
finally got the tck from sun. I haven't looked at it yet to try to
figure out how hard it will be to adapt to our tck setup or to run.
If we can get it in we can probably also get the jetty 7 integration
in. Doing this before (1) might be a good idea.

And of course there are also testing and doc work.
Please complement and elaborate if necessary.

Should we try reverting trunk (2.2) to use the same levels of
OpenEJB and Axis as in the recent 2.1.4 release, to see how close
we would be to a release that passes the TCK? That way, ActiveMQ
5.3-SNAPSHOT would be the major difference left to resolve for a
2.2 release....
I think it would be more worthwhile to look into what is going
wrong with the mdbs. David Blevins doesn't think any mdb-related
openejb code changed and ActiveMQ broke at least one other thing
since the last time mdbs worked well.
I agree. FYI, I tried to get TCK fired up, but am having some
issues. David, have your run tck recently? Let's discuss on tck
mailing list...
What's the status of JMS resources and the Admin Console? Seem to
recall some missing function...
