[DISCUSS] Separate JIRA project(s) for Components

[Gert Vanthienen]

L.S.,

If we look at the ServiceMix 3 JIRA project, the list of releases in 
there is getting very long and very hard to work with.  I know we 
discussed this before, but I really think it makes sense to make a 
separate JIRA project or projects for the components now. 

One solution would be to create a single JIRA project for all the 
components.  Because we can release components independently, the 
version numbers on the components will be going out of sync.  One way to 
handle this, is by using the same versioning scheme as we are using now 
in SMX3, e.g. servicemix-ftp-2008.01 for version 2008.01 of 
servicemix-ftp.  On the other hand, we could also just create plain 
version numbers like 2009.01 and then keeping the release open in JIRA 
until all components have reached that version.

The other way to get passed this would be to create a JIRA project per 
component.  This way, we could use versions in JIRA just as we are used 
to, but the overhead of setting this up would be quite big.

Which solution would people prefer?  Are there any other suggestions for 
solving this?

Regards,

Gert
