Is there anything else that we're missing?
Samples -- I'm tempted to say that I need to see a released/
deployable samples for a 2.1.2 release.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do with Samples regarding
2.1.2. We definitely need to get samples released. I also think
it's still important to get versions of samples available that can
be deployed on Geronimo 2.1 and 2.1.1. If we release samples for
either or both of these releases then we can also release a
compatibility plugin so that they can run in 2.1.2. We might want
to even consider including the appropriate artifact-alias entries
in the 2.1.2 server images directly with the 2.1.2 release (instead
of a plugin) so that not only samples but other plugins created for
2.1 or 2.1.1 could run on 2.1.2 (such as Directory).
Agree that we should release the Samples before 2.1.2.
Also like the idea of including the artifact-alias entries in 2.1.2,
so we don't need the plugin.
I really don't like the idea of a compatibility plugin for 2.1.x
plugin compatibility. In most cases, compatibility within service
releases should be automatic, IMO, and should not require installation
of a compatibility plugin. . Major release to major release
compatibility (e.g. 2.1 -> 2.2) is another matter...
