It's great to hear the release will be out soon, and a more organized release schedule in the future is most welcome :-)

I think it would be nice if we can get the intermittent build failures fixed for this release, so we can start the next cycle without all the Jenkins noise and fear of instability.

dkulp fixed the maven directory error that was recurring for a while, but there's still some sort of authorization problem to the Apache snapshot repo. This may need to be fixed in any case for the release to succeed.

Another issue is failure of the TestExportService test, whose root is in CXFBusImpl.setExtension as shown in the stack trace in the build logs.

There are a few other exceptions showing up as well, some reported in JIRA (e.g. DOSGI-199 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DOSGI-199> - how about upgrading jetty/pax-web as well?) and some others in build logs may not be actual errors, but are worth a peek to be sure.

If anyone could help in investigating these, it would be appreciated.

I just updated CXF DOSGi to the karaf maven plugin 3.0.0 and CXF 2.7-8.
There is one open issue left but apart from that we could technically do a 1.6.0 release.

The most noteable change is that we switched the mutli bundle distro to be based on the karaf features. So managing the distro is very easy from now on. The second larger change is that we updated to the newest cxf 2.7.8 so we are in line with current cxf. I also plan to do releases of dosgi a bit more synced with cxf so we always
can provide a dosgi distro that includes the newest cxf distro.

There is one thing that bothers me a bit though. The current multi bundle distro is 28 MB large. I hope we can slim this down a bit.

The largest files are:
896    org.apache.servicemix.bundles.jaxb-impl-2.2.1.1_2.jar
1020    pax-web-extender-whiteboard-1.1.14.jar
1072    cxf-api-2.7.8.jar
1272    org.apache.servicemix.bundles.ehcache-2.5.1_1.jar
1368    org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xerces-2.11.0_1.jar
2588    org.apache.servicemix.bundles.saaj-impl-1.3.21_1.jar
2912    org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xalan-2.7.1_7.jar
2976    org.apache.servicemix.bundles.jaxb-xjc-2.2.1.1_2.jar
5592    org.apache.servicemix.bundles.opensaml-2.5.3_3.jar

Especially opensaml looks too big to me. I am also not sure if we really need it.


I any case I plan to do a release next week on friday if everyone is ok with it. If you want anything more to go into the release please adjust the jira issues.
