I think we should try to do separate builds for Jetty and Tomcat if it isn't too much pain.


    Also, we need to decide whether we're planning to run the entire
TCK on the candidate configuration(s).

I think that would be a good habit to get into. There's no upside to releasing broken software esp after we just announced that we can pass the automated test suite.

Anything I missed?



SNAPSHOT elimination so the build is reproducible.



Right.  Missed that one for M3 IIRC.



Branch so that M4 can stabilize whilst other changes are being made.



We do for every milestone.  Don't expect this to be different.



Acceptance test process - how do we know what works (need to avoid a
broken release like M3).



That's what I meant by:

 DB> We have a number of people interested in testing.  I'll ping
 DB> them when I have something ready.

Was thinking to branch when I dish out the binaries for testing.
Rather than the "surprise, here is a binary" approach we've done in
the past.  Sounds pretty much like what you are proposing as well.



Yes - in the past we've just tagged and moved on. This time I think we should create the branch at the start of the process rather than at the end as there seem to be a lot of pent up changes planned. Yes, we may need to merge some critical changes back to this branch but hopefully
this can be kept to a minimum.

So basically,
* create a branch now, say 1.0-M4-prep
* do the stuff we talking about now on that branch
* cut the final M4 distro
* drop the 1.0-M4-prep branch

Other work can continue on the trunk without destablizing the M4 release.



+1 That's pretty much what I had in mind.
