We have had various issues, some of which were certainly bugs and race conditions in the Qpid code. It appears on our continuous build that we do still have at least one threading issue that is causing intermittent failure (hanging during tests, but the JVM on 1.6 remains responsive and we can get thread dumps). I think that we need to get consistently passing test runs on M2 to be able to release M2 Java with confidence. For the JVM issue I will let the list know as soon as I have confirmation from Sun that this is definitely the JVM bug I posted above. If it is, I will get details about the nature of the failure, how likely it is to occur outside of our test cases and whether there are any workarounds. Sun will provide me with a patch of course (which presumably other customers who have paid for support will be able to acquire), but I will also find out the release schedule for 1.5 should no workarounds be available.
