Of course, another, more krass idea would be to merge TomEE and Tomcat
and make it one Java EE 7 compliant Tomcat server. There's more brand
recognition in Tomcat and elevating IT to Java EE Full profile would
have a huge impact on the project, guaranteed.

Hmm, would make using mvn-release-plugin harder, if possible we need
to keep a.b.c pattern.
Maybe we can just do a poll and get rid of openejb now...

Another thought I would like to throw out there, since TomEE and Tomcat are
directly related, would be to align the version of TomEE with the shipped
version of Tomcat + some denominator for the underlying tech version of
openejb, since that is a driving factor of TomEE.
That would make it something like TomEE 7.0.42-4.6.0.

I'm thinking slightly different here.
I believe that versioning should stick with the actual product's version
and not necessarily align with any bundled technologies or a spec version. I
believe it will confuse people more than anything.
Look for example at GlassFish. It just keeps incrementing their major
version number whenever there is a major change, such as when they went from
a JEE 6 under Glassfish 3 to JEE 7 under Glassfish 4.
JBoss AS just keeps incrementing theirs, and they're on JBoss AS 7.
IBM's WebSphere seems to have an odd version numbering using 0.5
increments of some kind, again not seemingly related to any underlying
technology milestone. See Wikipedia for their version history
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_WebSphere_Application_Server#Version_history>.
So I think, if this is a major change for TomEE, which I believe it is,
TomEE 2.0 sounds just fine to me.

Hi,
a bit too early (since we need 1.6) but thought a bit on next tomee
version number.
2 seems natural but it would mean openejb and tomee version would
still be different. It would be great to align both to get a better
build and remove some hacks to get the version (+ we could use mvn
release plugin this way).
So TomEE 5 seems the next possible version.
That said if we jump so much I think we could align on JavaEE version.
So finally my proposal would be to do OpenEJB and TomEE v7.
