We did the Axis2 1.5 release last year May but actually cut the branch on December as I remember. So my idea was to do an Axis2 1.6 release with whatever the fixes we have done after cut the 1.5 branch. Otherwise people tend to think Axis2 has died. The split package problem is actually part of the whole Axis2 OSGI work. Saminda started this discussion some time ago and there was no progress after that. So my suggestion is to just wait until Axiom and woden releases (which I believe happen shortly) and cut the Axis2 1.6 branch. Then we can take the topics like "Axis2 OSGI" , "Axis2 Spring integration" and do subsequent releases with them. And also I think synapse people wait on Axis2 1.6 release. So lets do Axis2 1.6 with whatever fixes we can do with and target major changes to Axis2 1.7. thanks, Amila. > Andreas > > [1] http://markmail.org/message/fgtbr6tzpfemlery > [2] http://markmail.org/thread/i6cq72unknnnvjy5 > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > -- Amila Suriarachchi WSO2 Inc. blog: http://amilachinthaka.blogspot.com/
