Ok, just need a little clarification here.  Are you saying we do the
work of integration first to see what would break before doing a relese?


yep.

I am using Fortress for my GUIApp framework project.  This provides a
decent test bed, but it doesn't excersize all of Fortress' features.


kool. But to be honest I would prefer it to be someone who has no contact with event so they don't make any assumptions about new event structure so if there is any incompatibilities they will pick them up.

Ok.

Since I just got everything ready for Maven to build the project, I can
do the work of integration and allow whoever wills to stress test it.

There might be one minor sticky point: most clients that interact with
the CommandManager would do so through the use of the
org.apache.excalibur.event.Sink interface which would cause some binary
compatibility issues.  I could copy that interface into the Fortress
directory in the same package to maintain that binary compatibility.

It's ugly, and it should be deprecated, but it is a fact of how most
of the integration was done.  The good news is that there are only a
few things that use the CommandManager/Sink directly and almost all of
them are directly in Fortress itself.

Any insights on how to do this as non-intrusively as possible?
