I know this is a flamed subject, but here goes.
A major problem on release is the double barrelled version of OpenEJB
4.x and TomEE 1.x and 5.x / 2.x. This makes using release tools
virtually impossible and the whole process has to have manual
interaction. We shoot ourselves in the foot with this one every time.
I know project separation is a no go area for some, so another option
would be to get versions aligned. Also a huge point of contention. The
issue is the version to use?
So this is just to throw a rabbit into the lions den - How about
aligning with the underlying Tomcat major version, something like
TomEE/OpenEJB 7.x for Tomcat 7.x and 8.x for Tomcat 8?
