There has been lots of work going on to get Geronimo 2.0 certified
and it seems like the light at the end of the tunnel is not an
oncoming train but the other side :) With that we're also at the
point of cutting a milestone since we're at the end of May. Given
that all possible assemblies won't be fully tested what do folks
think about the name of the release and what will it contain?
Also, when is a branch appropriate?
I was thinking geronimo-tomcat-jee5-2.0-M6. This would include
Tomcat, CXF and OpenJPA as the components. The M6 indicates a work
in progress but allows us to claim a specific release as certified
and allows us to continue knocking off the corners for performance,
footprint, etc.
Why not also a jetty assembly? Unless there are really significant
problems I'd be in favor of waiting a couple days and getting both
platforms out at the same time.
It would also seem about right to branch into branches/2.0 at this
time as we finish the other work.
What do others think?
I have a significant security refactoring I've been working on that I
would like to get into the next 2.0 official whatever (milestone,
snapshot, release...) since it is not backwards compatible. It
affects how default subjects and run-as subjects are constructed and
will finish the JACC plugability work. I'll try to get something out
today describing how it works in more detail.
