Well I must say the recent participation is very encouraging, this
project had a record number of emails to the development mailing list
last month, but I don't come from a Programming background, I'm not an
expert and don't have any merging experience.
Therefore in this case I'd prefer to observe rather than vote for any
particular methodology or risk letting my own wants or ego stand in the
way of what River needs, which is increasing participation and innovation.
I have no objections to you reverting the changes.
I expect that you'll continue participating and perhaps blaze the trail
as leading developers, so that I can watch and learn, I'm interested to
see what you have in mind.
River needs people willing to do the leg work necessary to succeed.
Best Regards,
Peter.

I have to agree with Sim here ...
I'd say (if it were entirely up to me):
1. backout the changes
2. make sure the current QA tests run
3. add categories servicediscovery,discoveryservice,io and security to the
QA test categories to run by Hudson, one by one
4. make sure these QA tests run as well
5. piece by piece, restore the changes and keep an eye on any tests failing.
In parallel, keep validating and adding more QA test categories.
This would allow us to work in a more structured manner, and to perform peer
reviews on bite size changes.
We have to better organize ourselves, considering the limited resources we
have.
To summarize:
- the changes to RemoteEvent etc. caused many discovery related tests to
fail
- the changes to ClassLoading caused some classloading / io related tests to
fail
- the changes to DynamicPolicyProvider caused security (and other) tests to
fail
And that's what I found after going through it very quickly and backing out
some obvious things.
These actually look more like experiments than actual tested changes.
IMO, this kind of experimentation should probably be done in a skunk branch,
not the trunk.
If for any reason, my understanding is incorrect, and backing out is not an
option, then I would suggest to at least create a JIRA issue for each of the
above topics.
Thanks

Similarly, having backed out the RemoteEvent changes, and running the
"discoveryservice" category:
It looks to me, that the code in the trunk was not completely ready.
It looks that way.
Would it be a good idea to revert the changes until the unit tests run
again, and build a branch in svn to continue the work?
Let me get my head around understanding the failures first before we
revert.
If a committer (with svn access) needs help, i can offer some assistance.
Thanks ;) much appreciated.
