Indeed! How do we look in terms of a roadmap for being R4 compliant?
Do we have a plan or date in mind?
I tend not to base the roadmap on compliance, since this is not
necessarily the most important goal. I think the roadmap should be based
on releases and releases should have certain features assigned to them.
Good approach.
Having said that, R4 compliance can mean three different things:
1. Mandatory feature compliance,
2. Mandatory feature plus some optional features compliance, or
3. Complete compliance.
We should be able to justifiably claim (1) fairly soon,
That's great.
given the
precise list of issues that we need to address on the TCK result page.
However, the TCK does not really give us this type of rating as far as I
can tell, so (1) cannot be an official compliance statement. The plans
for achieving some of (2) are a little cloudy, but I think we will make
progress on some over the next month, but I wouldn't want them to hold
up any release. The two main issues that keep us from being (2) are
require-bundle and bundle fragments. I will be starting require-bundle
shortly, but have no time frame since I will have to find the time to do
it.
I understand. Thanks for the feedback.
Oh BTW I agree that getting a release out is much more paramount right
now than waiting for R4 features to come in through the door.
