Jim,

I think, it is a good idea to a have a set of iterative alpha releases gearing towards a final 1.0 release.

These are the features I see in the 1.0 final release ..

1. Full support for heterogeneous federation
2. Distributed assembly and deployment
3. Contribution mechanisms
4. Support for the 1.0 dpec changes
5. Standlone server and support for JMX-based management
6. The itest framework
7. And anything I have missed :)

+1. Sounds like a reasonable set of features.

I think for the first alpha release, I would suggest we include spec 1.0 changes with ability to run with the laucher, itest and webapp runtimes. We need to discuss how we want to take the standalone server forward with JMX support. This may have some dependency on the federation stuff we have been working on. That means the standalone server with JMX and support for simple scenarios with federated deployment can go together in the second alpha release. We can plan for rest of the features in the next two releases or the ones after that.

Moving JMX out to the follow-on release sounds good based on the tie- in with federation. Let's start a separate thread to discuss how we want to evolve the JMX support.


My view is to get the first alpha release out as early as we can with 1.0 programming model and support for laucher, webapp and itest runtimes.

+1

Jim
