I'm really not in favour of this. Isn't the investment better
placed in working towards a shippable 2.1 with a shorter timeframe
and smaller set of requirements than are currently in JIRA?
I think creating a transition for people moving from 2.0.x to 2.1x is
equally important, and at this point the investment might total a
week to prevent us from having to maintain two lines of the artifact
mechanism. If it takes longer then a week then I would cut short the
endeavour, but there are some critical bugs that need to be fixed and
even some features that can benefit the 2.0.x users.
The container is somewhat questionable as that will take a bit of
time, it just makes the transition easier for users. This I could
pass on.
The maven-artifact sharing I think is of value. It essentially boils
down to flipping the dependency, checking how old code was using the
existing maven-artifact, look at any filtering we have to do, any
name changes that may ease the burden of using the new in the old and
assess. I don't see this taking longer then a week. I just don't want
to look at two lines of such an important sub-system and we're at the
point where the divergence is not that great.
Once the regressions are fixed, the things that have already been
done are enough to constitute a feature release IMO.
Cheers,
Brett
