There are no bugs oustanding against BSF 3.x. Not sure it is worth fixing any of the 2.x bugs. Please wait a little bit. It has been a long time intent to fix the few bugs in 2.x and add the enhancements in JIRA to it. Maybe also creating a JSR-223 bridge to allow BSF 2.x engines to be used in JSR-223 environments (not sure whether this is worthwhile, but it may be the case that there are 2.x engines for which no JSR-223 engines exist).(Just have not been able to push this more to the front of my table; have a 2.x engine in use that has the bugfixes incorporated and I would like to apply them to the official 2.x. Fair enough request. Still leaves the question of what to do with BSF. Do we: * Leave all of Jakarta open just for BSF. * Move BSF elsewhere. Where? Commons? * Move to the Attic. snip/ I don't think Jakarta should/will exist for much longer, so first bullet isn't an option. Or, put differently, if that is the preferred option, then we should rather get a BSF TLP. -Rahul --- How realistic are we talking on the changes? Your last BSF code commit was in 2007. I know I'm being pushy - but I also know how hard it is to say Game Over.

Since Regexp may not have enough PMC members active, this vote will be held by lazy consensus. If you object, please also provide a reasonable explanation. Vote runs for a week, ending no sooner than Mar 28th, ~8:00 pm Eastern US. Vote is being held on general@jao but is being cross-posted to ensure we reach the full audience. Please include general@jao on any replies. -Rahul - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@jakarta.apache.org

Jakarta ECS and ORO moving to the Attic
Attic folks - I'd like to inform the Attic PMC that the Jakarta PMC voted to move the following projects to the Apache Attic: * Jakarta ECS: http://jakarta.apache.org/ecs/ * Jakarta ORO: http://jakarta.apache.org/oro/ I am hereby requesting the Attic PMC to take over the ownership of the above projects.

Vote result: We will move ECS and ORO to the Apache Attic. I'll inform the Attic and include a call for volunteers to complete the associated tasks for the move(s). We will not move Regexp at this time as vgritsenko has expressed some interest in a recent bugfix (his vote to move Regexp to the Attic was +0).

[NOTICE] Jakarta development mailing lists merging
The existing development mailing lists for Jakarta subprojects (BCEL, BSF, Cactus, ECS, JCS, JMeter, ORO, Regexp and retired subproject Slide) are merging. Two new lists will be soon be created, one for development discussions and another for notifications (such as SVN, Bugzilla, JIRA, Gump). Subscribers to any of the existing development lists mentioned above (also see CC header of this message) will be subscribed to the two new lists automatically. The existing lists that appear in the CC header of this message will subsequently be closed, with appropriate forwards in place to point to the merged list. The shared development discussions mailing list will use the convention of identifying the subproject associated with the posting in the email subject using square brackets. For example, a recent email sent to the jmeter-dev list had the subject: Exposing run info with JMX Once the shared mailing list is set up, the convention would be to use the following email subject instead: [JMeter] Exposing run info with JMX As a reminder, unsubscribing from a mailing list called l...@jakarta.apache.org can be done by sending an email to list-unsubscr...@jakarta.apache.org (replace list with actual name of the mailing list to unsubscribe from). -Rahul - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@jakarta.apache.org

[RESULT][VOTE] Merge dev lists
[Relaying result to all lists] The vote to merge dev lists at Jakarta has passed with the following binding votes cast: 5 +1s: Felipe Leme Daniel Savarese Vadim Gritsenko Rahul Akolkar Stephen Colebourne 2 +0s: Sebastian Bazley Rony Flatscher 2 -1s: Thomas Vandahl Torsten Curdt I also count 4 non-binding +1s (Mark Murphy, Venkat Krishnamurthy, Henri Yandell, Jörg Schaible) and 3 non-binding -1s (Hanson Char, Giuseppe, Tim Cronin). Two non-binding +1s were cast by folks who until recently were on the PMC (bayard, joehni) so perhaps not giving their votes enough credit is getting too technical here. We'll encourage simple conventions (as Commons was mentioned, for example) to make filtering email, searching archives etc. as convenient as we can on a shared list. Hope is that will alleviate to some extent the primary concern of those who've voted against. I will open an INFRA ticket for this merge in a week or so (after I post another heads up note with more details, dev mailing list conventions etc. to the lists).

Re: [PROPOSAL] One development list
Quick recap so far is that there have been a variety of views expressed on the topic of one dev@ (and commits@/notifications@), and it seems there is some positive interest in moving ahead. Therefore, as noted towards the end of the email below, I'll be moving to the next step of calling a vote on the topic on Monday -- IOW, this is also a reminder to bring up pending discussion points on the topic, if any, between now and then. This thread has also generated a number of other items of interest, which I'm suggesting we discuss separately if further discussion is needed. These include, in the order they came up: * Merging of user lists * Viability of a JMeter TLP * Moving ecs, oro and regexp to Commons Of the three items above, I'll pick up on the ecs, oro and regexp move to Commons in a new thread, in another week or two. -Rahul On Fri, Oct 9, 2009 at 5:43 PM, Rahul Akolkar rahul.akol...@gmail.com wrote: [Out of necessity, this is heavily cross-posted.

BSF There have been discussions about a 3.0 release. There has also been interest from Rony Flatscher in continuing the 2.x line of development for a 2.5 bugfix release. There have been a number of improvements, an SVN reorganization and preparations towards a 3.0 release, mostly by sebb. Cactus A couple of user list posts, no development activity since last report. ECS No activity - maintenance mode. JCS The user list has been active, and a couple of bug fixes have recently gone in. Aaron Smuts has been responding to user queries and making the code fixes. JMeter JMeter has been the busiest part of Jakarta in the last three months. Sebb continues to make many improvements. The code in trunk is being upgraded to JDK 1.5 which has offered the opportunity for related improvements. There have been a number of new Bugzilla reports, including a few patches being proposed. ORO Some activity in bugzilla in September - maintenance mode. Regexp No activity - maintenance mode. Taglibs This is the last board report that will list Taglibs updates. As reported in July, the Tomcat project will host three of the taglibs (RDC, Standard, Extended) going forward and the rest of the taglibs have been retired. Henri Yandell did most of the work to make this happen. The SVN move for the three taglibs is complete. The websites have been migrated to the tomcat.apache.org site. Bugzilla and Gump have been redirected. The taglibs-user list has been maintained and moved over to the tomcat.apache.org domain name, while the main Tomcat development list will now be used for contributor discussions.

Re: [VOTE] Petar Tahchiev as Jakarta Committer
On 3/25/07, Felipe Leme [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I'd like to call a vote to have Petar Tahchiev as a Jakarta Committer. snip/ +1 -Rahul Petar currently works as software engineer in Bulgaria, but was a MSc student last year, when we proposed porting the Cactus build to Maven 2 as a GSOC (Google Summer of Code) project. Although the project didn't make it to the allotted ASF projects, Petar kept doing the (hard) work, despite my slowness to support him. Prior to participate on Cactus development, he made some contributions to Apache Ant and other ASF projects. He also has a blog at java.net (http://weblogs.java.net/blog/paranoiabla/). A couple of months ago, I failed (again :-() to setup a sandbox SVN branch at ASF for him to continue his work, so he ended up creating a separated repository on SourceForge where we could do some work in parallel. Now that code is ready to come back to the Jakarta codebase, and the proper legal measures has already been taken (see http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/jakarta-cactus-tahchiev.html). Besides the technical aspect, I can tell from personal experience that he is a talented and enthusiastic developer, and will be a valuable contributor to the Cactus/Jakarta communities. So, here is my (PMC binding) +1 vote. -- Felipe - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
