Before pushing 3.0 out of the door I think we need to address : 1/ The project structure so that we can build core/components and tooling independently 2/ The packaging so we can create clean packages
Any reason why we should do that before releasing 3.0 ? The thread about the project structure (see http://www.nabble.com/Source-re-structuring-tf2017112.html) is still undecided. Could you also be more precise about what you are referring to as "clean packages" ? distributions ? 3/ Documentation - I don't think producing a release with re-visting the
documentation is going to help people
+1 I think 3.0 is a big and important release for ServiceMix and we should make
sure our ducks are in a row before putting it out there
Agreed. But I'm not sure that restructuring the source code will have a great impact on users. Once the release is out, they will mostly use it, not build it. And offering several distributions may be addressed later. ServiceMix latest release (not milestone) is more than 8 months old, and while I agree that we need to work on documentation, I'm not very keen on delaying the release too much. It will be difficult to delay the release while not developing new features, and at the same time, adding new features will certainly delay the release due to stabilization time, etc... Working on fixing all unit tests, bug fixes, samples and documentation should be enough. Maybe we could add some critical features (the JNDI factory to integrate web apps ?), but we have to minimize their number, else we will never release anything. Btw, we can not discuss TCK things in detail, but I just want to say that we should be able to pass the full TCK soon (still waiting for the mailing list and svn repo). I think this makes a good plan for a 3.0 release, but discussion is welcome. Pushing a M3 / RC1 this month (when ?) and a 3.0 asap in september sounds like a good plan to me. P
