Attendees: Michelle Caisse, Michael Bouschen, Craig Russell

Agenda:

1. Query method Date.getDay: should JDO support Date.getDate instead?

There are two issues, as Michael noted in his email. 

a) The test case failure may be a time zone issue. The test case is written so 
as to use the East Coast time zone (GMT - 5:00). There are intermittent 
failures running the test with GMT - 8:00. But no failures running GMT + 1. AI 
Craig code review the test case.

b) The other issue is a specification issue. It's clear reading the description 
of getDay that this is not the api that was intended. It should be changed to 
getDate instead. This is probably not a backward compatibility issue since the 
new query api is included in 3.1. 

It may be that we should include the time portion of the birth date and hire 
date in the test case. AI Michael file a JIRA. 

2. News on JDO-717 "copyjdorijars does not clean up target directory" 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-717

no news

3. News on JDO-678 "Ability to set properties on PersistenceManager" 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-678

Almost done. Still need to test the case-insensitive setProperty and update the 
specification to cover the transaction apis.

In the specification, should we enumerate the apis that are equivalent to 
setProperty or simply note that there are three places where properties and 
options are described: pmf, pm, and transaction?

4. News on spec update?

See items 1 and 3 above.

5. Other issues

While looking at JDO-678, it was necessary to access the nightly repository for 
datanucleus. We can change the pom in the copyjdorijars project to include the 
datanucleus repository where nightly snapshots are found. This will make it 
easier in future to use datanucleus snapshots. Since snapshots are only updated 
by mvn once in a while, and users can explicitly request snapshots to be loaded 
via mvn -U option, and datanucleus is the JDO RI, this change seems useful.
