2006-06-06 Thread Henri Yandell


Should have sent this a week or two ago.

The proposed resolution for a testing.apache.org was tabled until next 
month (ie: June 21st) because the board were concerned about yet another 
umbrella - with this one feeling too artificial.


They made the point that size of TLP is not a concern - jmeter.apache.org 
would not be a problem - though I know that the JMeter guys weren't very 
into the idea. The conversation was more on JMeter than Cactus. I was 
listening in, but didn't do a very good job of selling the testing.apache 
idea.




I don't have any great ideas for how to take things further. The idea was 
formed around db.apache/logging.apache style umbrellas that at one point 
were the solution to language centric umbrellas - seems that the focus is 
clearly on single projects now.

Re: testing.apache.org

2006-06-06 Thread Felipe Leme

Hi Jesse,

Initially, the idea was to provide Java-related testing projects. Not 
that we were against a language-agnostic project - we just didn't think 
about that. After the proposal, someone raised the questions if we would 
accepts contributions from other languages and we said it would be fine.


So, answering your question, yes, the project is supposed to support 
libraries from another languages. In fact, the existence of such 
libraries is an argument for the TLP creation; besides the existing 
Cactus and JMeter, we have at least 3 sub-projects contenders (the 2 you 
mentioned and one for testing HTML pages), 4 if we count DbUnit 
(although this one will take more time due to the licenses incompatibility).

later xslt transformations fail. Etc.

According to the documentation I've read, relative references in
xsl:import tags should be resolved with respect to the parent
document.

However, when run under Gump, the references seem to be resolved
relative to the current working directory, which stops the build from
working.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
Is it perhaps a feature of the xslt processor that is used?
How do I find out what is being used?

Note that the build script works fine under Java 1.4 and 1.5 when run
outside Gump.

Torque is part of the Apache DB project. Fulcrum is part of the Apache
Jakarta project. They are entirely separate, with entirely separate SVN
access control. From what I can see, you are a committer to the Torque

Yup, there clearly is developer/community interest towards the
formation of this project. Plus, there is a chance to rejuvenate some
existing projects by sheer proximity to newer projects with active
developers (amongst other things).

Per the umbrella concern, the question then becomes what -- if any --
are the mitigating factors that can address such a concern with
regards to this proposal. Based on Hen's email, seems like the ball is
still in the board's court -- as we wait for the next meeting -- so
maybe its premature to discuss if we should be trying to address those

Add Jelly blurb

--
   Commons Collections 
  Commons Collections released version 3.2. This contained lots of bug fixes 
and a few new classes. Collections is a widely used project which doesn't have 
nearly enough releases (one every 18 months or so). Hopefully we can look at 
creating a generics version of the project before too long.
  
+  Commons Jelly 
+ Jelly has had some active discussion and bug fixing development, as well as 
upgrading the dependencies to a later version of dom4j and jaxen. There are 
calls, but as yet no definitive plan for a release of some of the taglibs and 
core.
+ 
   Commons Logging 
  
   Commons Pool

So, answering your question, yes, the project is supposed to support
libraries from another languages. In fact, the existence of such
libraries is an argument for the TLP creation; besides the existing
Cactus and JMeter, we have at least 3 sub-projects contenders (the 2 you
mentioned and one for testing HTML pages), 4 if we count DbUnit
(although this one will take more time due to the licenses 
incompatibility).

Yup, there clearly is developer/community interest towards the
formation of this project. Plus, there is a chance to rejuvenate some
existing projects by sheer proximity to newer projects with active
developers (amongst other things).

Per the umbrella concern, the question then becomes what -- if any --
are the mitigating factors that can address such a concern with
regards to this proposal. Based on Hen's email, seems like the ball is
still in the board's court -- as we wait for the next meeting -- so
maybe its premature to discuss if we should be trying to address those
comments yet?


It's more in our court to come up with something to convince them I think. 
I asked them a couple of times for a bit more in the way of info to bring 
back, but didn't get a reply (by memory from the meeting wasn't very 
good - it lasted 2.5 hrs).


Mostly I think we need to detail the cross-ASF interest in the idea. 
Otherwise Jakarta Test Components it is ;) [joke]
