Jakarta June 2005 report to the board

Simpler to just send the link to the published page on the site than to 
mail the 7k report to everybody.

- == June 2005 ==
- 
- === Status ===
- 
- The major change for Jakarta this quarter is the promotion of Jakarta Tomcat 
to Apache Tomcat, the next quarter should see this being reflected on the 
website, mailing lists etc.
- 
- Last quarter saw a kickstart of the dormant BCEL subproject, which has seen 
some minor improvements. Oversight is improved, bugs are being fixed and some 
planning of the BCEL future has occurred.
- 
- The dormant BSF subproject has recently kickstarted itself, as may be seen 
from the new committers listed below.  Discussion is increased, though PMC 
oversight will need to be confirmed/improved in the next quarter.
- 
- Subversion migrations continue to move onwards, the ratio for subprojects is 
10 in SVN to 7 in CVS.
- 
- There is a proposal to create a new subproject to contain 'webapp 
components'; small plugin features for servlet containers (such as Tomcat). 
Various proposals for Commons components and the Taglibs subproject are the 
impetus.
- 
-  Goals for Q3 2005 
- 
-  * JCS and HttpClient still need to reflect their move to subproject level.
-  * Taglibs, JCS, Cactus SVN migrations.
-  * Tomcat to reflect their move to TLP.

- 
- === Subproject news ===
- 
- (based on projects that have had a notable event, ie) release, change of 
location within Jakarta)
- 
-  Commons-Configuration 
- 
- The 1.1 release of Configuration contains a couple of bug fixes and 
introduces some new features like web configurations, optional configurations, 
or basic reloading support. In the future we plan to further enhance these 
features and to perform some refactoring.
- 
-  Commons-Daemon 
- 
- Daemon had release 1.0.1, after more than a year after 1.0.0. Stop and wait 
(until started) features have been
- added; Known bugs have been fixed.
- 
-  Commons-Digester 
- 
- Digester had release 1.7, about 9 months after 1.6. The changes are pretty 
small; Digester is now a very stable library.
- 
-  Commons-HttpClient 
- 
- 3.0 RC2 fixed a number of bugs and we will be having one more RC release 
shortly as a few more have popped up.  Jakarta HttpClient is starting to come 
together in SVN.  This work has been lead by Oleg Kalinchevski and it's looking 
really good.  HttpClient 4.0 should prove to be a really flexible, reusable, 
and powerful release.
- 
-  Commons-Jelly 
- 
- The previous release of Jelly had proven to be stable for several months, and 
after the memory leak was corrected and underwent sufficient testing, it was 
decided to release version 1.0 as a stable base on June 16. This is the first 
stable release of Jelly.
- 
-  Commons-Lang 
- 
- Lang 2.1 was released. It contains several bug fixes, a package name change 
for compatiblity with JDK 1.5, a new mutables package, and several new utility 
classes and methods.

   * Every sub-project of Jakarta gets a subdirectory in the Jakarta SVN
repo.
   * They use a tags/trunk/branches structure within said subdirectory,
though they could further componentise and then use the tags/trunk/branches
structure if it fits them better.
- 
+  * The CVS repositories of "dead" projects are not targeted for migration
(e.g. jakarta-site).
  
  == Positives ==
  
- One major plus is that it simplifies the life of the infrastructure team.
They no longer need UNIX accounts for each user, but can maintain users in
htaccess files (behind SSL).
+ Subversion provides many advantages over CVS, smoothing out its "excessive
character" while providing the same approximate level of functionality, and
a much better designed platform on which to develop tools.  Sampling of
improvements over CVS:
+  * move files within the repository and maintain the history
+  * delete directories (which are treated no different than any other
versioned resource)
+  * treat groups of files in one commit as a single transaction (change
set-like)
+  * significantly faster branching and tagging
  
- There are many developer pluses too. Subversion gives us the ability to
move files within the repository and maintain the history, to treat groups
of files in one commit as a single transaction and has faster speed on
tagging.
+ Another major benefit is that administration of Subversion simplifies the
life of the Infrastructure team.  UNIX accounts need not be created for each
user; user accounts are instead maintained in htaccess files, with
authentication occuring over SSL.
  
  == Questions ==
  
-  * What do we do with legal issues? If a non-ASF allowed licensed file
appears in the repository, can we obliterate it? Is it a problem if we
can't?
   * Is the community's toolset fully supported?
-  * How do we educate the community?
-  * Do we need to migrate dead cvs modules? ie) jakarta-site?
  
  == Negatives ==
  
-  * Tagging is just a directory copy. Tags which are more than a simple
directory tree get trickier. ie) tagging without tagging all the files, or
tagging plus a set of files in a sibling directory. The trick of doing 'cvs
status -v build.xml' to list known tags for a module is no longer available
as well.
-  * Installation. An SVN client, especially with SSL support, seems
trickier to install than CVS.

ls' or a [http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/ web browser].
+  * Obliteration of files which should have never made their way into the
VC repository (e.g. files with a non-ASF allowed license) can currently only
be accomplished through a dump/edit/load of the entire repository by the

- Commons Net 1.3.0 was released in late December. This release contained a 
large number of enhancements and bug fixes, but the most important change was 
the addition of NTP/SNTP support. Since 1.3.0, there have been more 
enhancements to the FTP parser (currently in CVS), with the ultimate aim of 
making the FTP client configuration much more flexible and consequently being 
able to support different locales seamlessly. This, plus other bug fixes 
currently in the works, will form the basis of the 1.4 release.

-  Commons Transaction 
- 
- 1.0 final has been released in December. 1.1 already is feature complete and 
in beta status. It mainly adds deadlock detection and a partially revised 
interface layout. Slide 2.2 and OJB 1.1 are likely to use it.
- 
-  Cactus 
- 
- Cactus 1.7 has been released preparing the way for a big refactoring. We are 
indeed going to refactor Cactus to leverage Cargo (http://cargo.codehaus.org). 
Nicolas Chalumeau (contributor) and I have been working on this. That should 
lighten Cactus and allow supporting many more containers and features (like hot 
deploy, etc) which our users have been asking for a while. Two new committers 
have been voted in recently (Kazuhito and Magnus). EJB Cactification has been 
added recently by Magnus and he's busy adding new improvements to it. Felipe is 
continuing with improvements to the Maven plugin for Cactus.

- Many new features have been recently added to HiveMind, driven by the needs 
of Tapestry primarily; this includes the ability to switch the locale on the 
fly (on a per-thread basis). This
- is used when accessing per-module message catalogs. In addition, HiveMind may 
now make ordinary POJOs into services (without a s

Final draft

  === Status ===
  
- Tomcat promoted. What else?
+ The major change for Jakarta this quarter is the promotion of Jakarta Tomcat 
to Apache Tomcat, the next quarter should see this being reflected on the 
website, mailing lists etc.
+ 
+ Last quarter saw a kickstart of the dormant BCEL subproject, which has seen 
some minor improvements. Oversight is improved, bugs are being fixed and some 
planning of the BCEL future has occurred.
+ 
+ The dormant BSF subproject has recently kickstarted itself, as may be seen 
from the new committers listed below.  Discussion is increased, though PMC 
oversight will need to be confirmed/improved in the next quarter.
+ 
+ Subversion migrations continue to move onwards, the ratio for subprojects is 
10 in SVN to 7 in CVS.
+ 
+ There is a proposal to create a new subproject to contain 'webapp 
components'; small plugin features for servlet containers (such as Tomcat). 
Various proposals for Commons components and the Taglibs subproject are the 
impetus.
