Looks like there is more or less a consensus to release 1.4 final

Sounds good, though there have actually been some good fixes added
to the trunk since the 1.4 branch.... Considering we haven't done
the release yet, I'm doubting anyone is really using the 1.4
branch as a checkpoint as yet (?) - do you think it might be worth
merging the HEAD over to 1.4 before releasing? I'd be +1 for
this, but even if not I'd like to see the HEAD go out as 1.4.1
pretty quickly....
We (JOnAS team) are already shipping with that 1_4_FINAL version.
(Are we alone to use that version, geronimo guys ?) So we would
like to have an official release.
We know that that version is ok in regards with JOnAS test suite
(and TCK).
Right, Geronimo did the same thing.

For us, 1.4 is what is located in that 1_4_FINAL branch.
Then, the HEAD should be 1.5 (if there are a lot of changes) or
1.4.1 (is less changes).
What do you think ?

Glen, as I understand it, you've done all the Axis releases to
date. You have a checklist or something of the steps required?
Or at minimum, a couple tips?
Here's what I think needs doing, which has usually been some
combination of myself and dims (he's usually done at least the
last two steps).
* Make sure version is updated (xmls/properties.xml,
release-notes.html, changelog.html)
* Make sure change log is updated (changelog.html)
* Make sure release notes are accurate (release-notes.html)
* Make sure you have ALL optional dependencies installed
so that the build works out-of-the-box with all extensions
* Clean everything, ensure all-tests works
* Build dists
* Calc checksums, sign release
(we haven't been doing this but need to. You can find info at
http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html)
* Upload to /www/www.apache.org/dist/ws/axis/ (create new dir in
there)
* Update the Axis web site
* Update the Maven repository
Jakarta has a terrific release guide at http://jakarta.apache.org/
commons/releases/release.html, we should have a version of that
for WS....
So let's discuss my question above, and then once we decide, let
me/us know if you have any problems/issues, and thanks so much for
helping out!
