Hi, My apologies to all. With the high volume of Axis2 emails everyday, I guess I didn't read each one carefully. I'll be more careful the next time I reply to one:) -Vinh

This would have given developers/contributors a chance to review the state of the latest build, check if there are any critical bugs still outstanding, and then vote if everyone is fine with the release. I think this should be the normal process for open source projects (as it already is for a few other Apache projects). I also didn't see emails to the user group about an exact date planned for the 1.4 release. This would be nice so that the community can plan ahead in case people are waiting for certain bug fixes, and can find workarounds in case they know that 1.4 won't address their bug. Overall, more communication about planned releases would be nice:) Other than that, keep up the good work! -Vinh -----Original Message----- From: Deepal jayasinghe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 12:23 AM To: [email protected] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [axis2] RE: [ANN] Apache Axis2 1.4 Released > Hi, > > Now that 1.4 is released, I still see so many issues logged on JIRA > that have not even been close to resolved. I think we all have to agree we can not do a release with zero jiras. When we do a release what we do is we go though the JIRA list and see what are the issues we need to fix for the release and fix them. I know some of the issues might be very critical for you but not for others. However we as developer have to do a general judgment and choose what we want to fix for a give release.

Please forgive me for that and one thing we have to understand is we are doing open source development. No one pays for the developers so most of the developers are doing voluntary works. So once they have free time they will fix your issues. (If there are any JIRA issues against me I will do that ) I've browsed through some of > the issues which were logged a good few months or even under a year > ago and still they are not resolved. > > Unfortunately, Axis2 is the best that I could find out there, but I > just don't see the level of support I would expect from a project of > such high magnitude. It is yes and no answer. When I talked to Axis2 users one of the positive feedback I got is the level of support we have. I know it is good if we can improve that some more , but I can not agree that user does not get support from the mailing list. One of the thing I do every day is going though the mailing list and answer them as much as I can. Sometime I spend more than 2-3 hrs for that. Not to market any companies, but I know few companies doing professional support for Axis2 , so if you want to get the answer quickly that would be a very good option. :) > > When deploying a POJO I can't even get Axis2 to auto generate a 100% > compliant WSDL to the POJO. In which level , I know we generate valid WSDL. But for some edge cases we have issues which I am planing to fix soon.

If you know how to fix an issue , please fix that and attach a patch to the jira. Then we will definitely review that and apply. Thank you!
