Hi Hans,
I read the roadmap document, impressive.
I have one comment to make: about classloader isolation. do you
think it is
really necessary? look at firefox, that has a very rich set of non-
trivial
plugins. I don't think it has any isolation.
If I'm guessing your reasons for wanting this, it is to prevent
clashes when
two plugins require two versions of the same library. I think this
is a very
rare case.
It is rare but not that rare. I have been hitten by this a couple of
times. And look at Ivy. The reason why Ivy does not provide WebDav
support right now, is that commons-vfs (which is used by Ivy) would
need httpclient 2.x to provide this but Ivy itself uses httpclient 3.x.
However, if class loading is always used, it makes the system
more complex and less efficient. Maybe make this just a utility
that plugins
can use?
I was thinking about having an OSGi based plugin system. But people
have warned me that OSGi is a very complex technology. I'm not sure
yet. On the one hand we want to deliver something within a reasonable
time frame and no excessive complexity on the other hand it should
have enterprise quality (whatever this means ;)). As yet I have
hardly any opinions on implementation details.

Hi all,
there is now a roadmap available at: http://gradle.org/roadmap.html
I have become convinced that a 1.0 release should not wait longer
than necessary.
Thanks for all your input

You have a chicken and egg problem here. Who has time to check an
early release of an open source program? Just wait for the 1.0,
this will
be beta enough to test. No testers no response.
A roadmap is very important for me to decide if I seriously try or
wait.
