Hi All,
As previously discussed I'm -1 on upgrading the JDK at this time. I will
change my vote if evidence gathered via a survey shows no one is using
the older JDKs. Since FOP is a server side process, my experience is
that it is run on a lot of older systems, like AIX, HP-UX, etc. It is
very difficult to patch these system up to such later JDKs, and so we
may prevent a lot of users from using/upgrading FOP. And for what
benefit? What does the later JDK give us, that JDK 6 doesn't already
have? The benefit seems very minimal versus the potential cost
Thanks,
Chris

+1 for a pre-release party (FOP and/or Batik release before JDK upgrade)
+1 for JDK upgrade, assuming there're community-wide VOTEs (2-weeks? 1-month?
Lazy consensus?)
Cheers!
Happy New Year folks!

Subject: My Goals for XML Graphics Project
Fellow Team,
I'd like to share some of my ideas for improving the XML Graphics projects as
we move forward:
- transition writeable source repository from SVN to GIT, making SVN a
slave to the latter
- transition build, test, and deployment system from Ant to Maven
- update minimum JDK to 7 or perhaps even 8
- enable findbugs (from Maven site goals) by default
- convert non-Junit tests (batik) to Junit
- improve test coverage
- triage bug list
- revisit documentation, in its format, deployment, and content
Overall, I want to bring XML Graphics more up to date with other "modern"
Apache Project practices and tool sets.
Please feel free comment on these matters.
Regards,
Glenn
