I'm not a committer, so pardon me in advance if I am stating incorrect information.
I guess I'm wondering if there will *ever* be a 1.2.0 release? I thought that the pluto-trunk-merge branch, once it incorporates all of the changes from 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT and 286-COMPATIBILITY, will become the trunk. If the versioning of the JSR 286 compliant release of Pluto is 2.0, wouldn't that replace the 1.2.0 "branch"? It is my understanding that hypothetically Pluto 1.2.0 would be a JSR 168 container/portal built on Java 5. Once Pluto 2.0 is released, IMHO I can't see a need for this anymore, since Pluto 2.0 would be able to run JSR 168 compliant applications as well. The 1.1.x branch is still a good JSR 168 solution that maintains support for Java 1.4.2 and Servlet 2.3, so would a 1.2.0 release be necessary? I guess what I'm saying is, for a team like the Geronimo team, that wants the most feature-rich version of Pluto's JSR 168 container, wouldn't the best choice be to develop against the 1.1.x branch instead? -- Ben > Joe, I wish that I could help you, but I appear to be the only active > committer right now, and have to do this work on my own time in addition > to my other 'free time' committments (such as family). > Right now, my focus is getting the JSR-286 RI work merged into the trunk > to move Pluto toward a 2.0 release since JSR-286 is just about finished.
