I found a serious problem in the calculator-web sample in the 0.90
release candidate.  The ant script for this sample builds a war that
is not deployable because of two missing files.  The pre-built war file
that is shipped as part of the binary distro is fine.  I discovered
this as a last-minute glitch with my demo for the Tuscany presentation
that I gave today at the IBM Impact conference.

I'll write a JIRA for this now and post a patch asap (later today EDT).

I think the "shop window factor" is an important consideration.
The cumulative effect of the issues that people have reported seems
to be significant enough from this perspective that a respin is
desirable.  In particular, the build and sample README problems
could be quite off-putting to a novice user.

I concur with Luciano that the READMEs for

calculator-rmi-reference
calculator-rmi-service
implementation-crud

now don't match the way that the samples are currently organized. I'm
reluctant to agree to go with this release when our shop window isn't fully
functional. I have checked fixes in for the calculator sample to the
0.9branch and head. Luciano's fix for implementation-crud looks good
to me.

This fails to build under maven in my environment. The culprit is the
maven-jaxb-plugin. The pom provided with the version that we refer in our
poms, e.g. databinding-jaxb, has a non-UTF8 character in one of the author names which causes the maven build to fail with the IBM JDK 1.5.0 on Linux.
I can confirm that this does not cause a problem with the same JDK (same
version and build at least) on Windows XP. I tried using different
maven-jaxb-plugins from a variety of repositories. All failed for other
reasons. There is a manual work around to the problem, i.e. remove the
non-UTF8 characters, so I don't think that this, on its own is a blocker.

I've raised http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-1296 for this.
