- No activity this quarter. Since there is a lack of developer and user 
community, we should definitely retire BCEL this quarter and also point the 
users to possible alternatives. A discussion will be started about this.

Jakarta Board Report January

2008-01-14 Thread Martin van den Bemt
== December 2007 Board Report ==

=== Status ===

The downsizing of Jakarta continued this quarter.
HttpComponents became TLP and has finished moving all the resources to their 
own TLP. We wish them
all the best with their new identity!
Slide was retired (see Slide section for more details), with a notice on the 
Slide page (see
http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/).

The main focus this quarter will be (re)starting discussions about the future 
of the mature
components/libraries like ORO, Regexp (maintained) and ECS and BCEL (not 
maintained).

=== Releases ===

  * 29 September 2007 - JMeter 2.3 final
  * 9 October 2007 - !HttpComponents !HttpCore 4.0 alpha 6
  * 7 November 2007 - !HttpComponents !HttpClient 4.0 alpha 2
  * 30 November 2007 - JMeter 2.3.1 final

=== Community changes ===

No changes in the community

=== Subproject news ===

 BCEL 

No activity this quarter. Since there is a lack of developer and user 
community, we should
definitely retire BCEL this quarter and also point the users to possible 
alternatives. A discussion
will be started about this.

 BSF 

There is an outstanding request for the TCK for scripting. Geir expressed the 
concern that
this TCK could be part of the JDK 1.6 TCK and not independ. We are sitll 
waiting for
the definitive answer on this.

 Cactus 

Development has picked up after Apachecon Atlanta and Petar is working towards 
a release.

 ECS 

No activity and not maintained. As with BCEL it is probably best to retire the 
project or see if it
can find a
home at Apache Commons.

 HttpComponents 

HttpComponents released one alpha each for HttpCore and HttpClient
as a Jakarta sub-project. A TLP proposal was submitted for the
November board meeting and accepted. Starting December 2007,
HttpComponents submits separate board reports as a TLP.

By end of December 2007, HttpComponents is no longer using Jakarta resources.
Mailing lists, SVN, website, dist, and archive have been moved.
The HttpComponents Wiki still has Jakarta in it's name, but it is
a separate Wiki.

 JCS 

No developer activity going on at this moment, though there is user activity on
the dev and user lists.

 JMeter 

JMeter released 2.3 and 2.3.1 final.

 ORO 

Since the mature nature hardly any activity (it is maintained). There are still 
a lot of users and
bug reports are actively monitored and acted upon. Since the library nature of 
the subproject it is
definitely worth investigating if Apache Commons can be the new home for this 
library.

 Regexp 

See ORO.

 Slide 

Due to the lack of a developer community, Slide has been retired on 03/Nov/2007.
It is thus no longer actively maintained or supported by the ASF.
Subversion, Bugzilla, and one of the mailing lists will remain open for a 
transition period.
Slide users will be pointed to Apache Jackrabbit as a replacement.

Every few weeks, somebody inquires about a separate WebDAV client project
on a mailing list of Slide, Jackrabbit, Commons, or HttpComponents. There
are some people, some of which are Apache committers, who expressed some
interest to put in some time, if others are with them. But nobody seems to
want to take the lead and request a sandbox or lab project in which to start.
The presence of two separate codebases (Jackrabbit, Slide) from which one
could start doesn't help. Jackrabbit is alive, Slide is used in the wild.

 Taglibs 

Development is still taking place, although not at a high priority. Bug fixing 
took place on the
Standard Taglib and there is the intention to make a final release after all 
bugfixing is done.
