Current thinking is that we'll create branches/2.2 from trunk around
Dec. 12, so we can start closing down the 2.2 release.
What is everyone's thoughts on what version we'll use for trunk when
that happens?
1) trunk becomes 3.0-SNAPSHOT and focused on JEE6
2) trunk becomes 2.3-SNAPSHOT, will include some JEE6 technology
preview, but is still focused on being another JEE5 release in 2009
IMO, we should feel free to break Java EE 5 compliance, post G 2.2.
So, I think 3.0-SNAPSHOT will be appropriate. I expect that we'll go
through some number of Milestone releases, on our way to EE 6
compliance. It's possible that we could release a 3.0 that is web
profile compliant, but not fully EE 6 compliant. IMO, that's something
we'll evaluate down-the-line (e.g. once we have an actual initial EE 6
spec to evaluate).
