All, during our last release, it was noted that our announcement template was kind of bland, didn't give people much info about DeltaSpike. You can see the current version here: https://github.com/apache/deltaspike/blame/master/site/src/main/asciidoc/steps_for_a_release.adoc#L211 (apologies for linking to the blame, github is converting it to preview mode... :-( )
Anyways, I wanted to propose using this text in the template instead, to give a broader feel for our feature set: Apache DeltaSpike is a suite of portable CDI extensions intended to make application development easier when working with CDI and Java EE. Some of its key features include: - A core runtime that supports component configuration, type safe messaging and internatlization, and exception handling. - A suite of utilities to make programmatic bean lookup easier. - A plugin for Java SE to bootstrap both JBoss Weld and Apache OpenWebBeans outside of a container. - JSF integration, including backporting of JSF 2.2 features for Java EE 6. - JPA integration and transaction support. - A Data module, to create an easy to use repository pattern on top of JPA. - Quartz integration Testing support is also provided, to allow you to do low level unit testing of your CDI enabled projects. More can be found on our website - https://deltaspike.apache.org WDYT? John
