Mike, I was thinking the same thing. Providing milestone releases as an OpenJPA published, mostly stable, tested release with clear definition of the new function it includes. Based on Craig's observation, I don't know that means we have to include the -Mx- identifier in the builds though. I think it would help us (dev) and users identify which milestone version of code is in development and use, but it does have obvious maintenance implications. If we do not publish official maven releases maybe Mx it isn't required - could we add the Mx at the point when we do the milestone build?
Regarding a maven publish, is it possible to publish a release to the maven repository, say an M1 release and not branch off or create a corresponding M1 release in JIRA? It may be useful to publish milestone releases in maven (for those who use maven), but not add the overhead of creating an svn branch which we do not intend (and wouldn't make sense) to maintain. -Jeremy On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 9:50 PM, Michael Dick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Craig, > > I think it depends on how official we want to make the milestone releases. > I > was thinking of the milestones being "smaller" convenience releases, not > "official" releases that get published to maven central.
