We only have a few remaining optional and required tasks before we
can cut the 1.2 beta :D
TASK: Review YOUR JIRAs
-----------------------
We have 60 JIRAs assigned to 1.2. Please review the issues
assigned to you, and if you do not plan on fixing them in the next
say 7 days move out of 1.2. Those with JIRAs remaining [1] at the
end of the release will be shamed :)
I'll have a look at my Jira's.
Other Tasks

Normally legal is the biggest problem, and Kevan has done a
wonderful in this area. FWIU, the only remaining legal issue is
the presence Sun schemas and dtds in the servlet and jsp spec jars,
and Kevan is working to find out if they are a real problem. Any
thing else I missed Kevan?
Tomcat distributions contain the same xsd's/dtd's that our specs
contain. I've sent a note to [EMAIL PROTECTED] concerning their rights to
redistribute the files. Initial response was that their use is
covered by original donation of Tomcat by Sun to the ASF. I don't
have access to the Foundation documents that describe the donation.
So, I have no way of verifying this...
Tomcat has placed an ASF license header on these schemas. But they
also contain the Sun copyright and license restrictions. If I don't
hear back from the Tomcat crowd, soon. I guess I'll follow up on
legal-discuss.
We have a few remaining SNAPSHOTS dependencies in the tree [2].
OpenEJB and Yoko are still being worked on for this release so a
SNAPSHOT dependency is fine. ActiveIO and OpenJPA have released
versions for the code we are using and I will work to replace this
today. Matt promised me a release of TranQL for this release, and
I am hoping to get this today.
Since OpenEJB has never been through the incubator process, I'm not
so sure about shipping a snapshot. I don't think incubator would be
too happy about that. I have some updates to openejb (to help get it
ready for a release) which I hope to commit soon. I've sent a note to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] about getting openejb release ready... Hmm. I see that
Yoko's M1 release vote is still running
