I'd like to release Guice 2.0 as soon as possible. Here's what's holding it up: * Servlets. I'll wanna run through Dhanji's latest code, which allows you to configure servlets using Java (rather than XML). There's some feature requests and issues in our tracker on this. * FinalizableReferenceQueue Leaks. My preference is to neuter ReferenceCache for now, which will prevent a leak in J2EE servers. The only real downside is that it makes our code uglier, so I think it's a net win. We can implement a better solution later. * Documentation. I'm writing lots for our new docreader site. Most recently I wrote a new Motivation[1] page, which reformulates the first half of Bob's OOPSLA presentation into an introduction as to what Guice does. This is the first page in the new 2.0 user's guide, which will be a streamlined version of v1, plus new features. The new guide probably won't optional injection or struts 2, for example. But because of the way that the docreader site is integrated, that stuff is just a click away.
What's your must-haves for Guice 2? Do you think we've got a hope of releasing it within two weeks? I'm anxious to get the release out just 'cause I think it's already a big improvement over v1. If I were doing it again, I think I'd prefer to have several smaller releases than this big-bang release. The big bang is kinda stressful (it has to be perfect) and it means also we're withholding features from our beloved users.
