+1 on adding a forth digit, while maintaining existing 1.1-2.2 server support in the same GEP 2.2.x.x build, along with some wiki updates explaining which versions should be used for given server/Eclipse combinations. -Donald On 3/5/10 3:30 AM, Delos wrote: > Hi, > > Hopefully, we can make a de

-1 to a branch per server release (like GEP 2.1.x only works with Server 2.1.x) as this would create a maintenance nightmare, where we would now have to fix a given bug or add a new feature (or upgrade to a newer Eclipse level) in 4 branches (1.1, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2) instead of just one. For 3.0, we sh

[DISCUSSION] Release GEP more frequently

Hi all, Johannes suggested that GEP make release more frequently. The reason is user may get new fixes earlier, instead of waiting for next release together with Geronimo server. In this way, it will be more convenient for GEP to provide new improvement, such as support for eclipse of latest versi
