[jboss-dev] AS5.x, AS6 roadmaps

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

> We need to finalize the 3 month road map for AS5.x and its relation to 
> AS6. The current discussions have been around embedded and EE6 type 
> profiles and that we should focus on incorporating AS6 elements in the 
> next AS5.x release that improve the following areas:
>
> * Unit Test Capabilities.  The ability to embed JBoss inside unit 
> tests so that they can be run with no special plugins within an IDE, 
> vanilla maven testsuite, vanilla ant testsuite.
> * Maven JBoss Plugin.  You can define a configuration or override the 
> default.  Basically making it nice and easy to use for maven people.
Enable JBoss Tools AS Plugin: AS 5 should provide an API we can use for 
efficient deployment.

> * Bundling of embedded jopr for the management console
> * Get on-demand working for as many services as possible
> * Optimize boot time (JBoss 5 boots much slower than JBoss 4.2)
> * Deprecate and prune components and move them to a deprecated folder 
> so that they don't boot up with default config. (Web Console, 
> JMX-Console, Scheduler, EJB 2.x)
> * Clean up service dependencies so its easier to add/remove components 
> and subsystems.  This is related to on-demand as well.
> * Define proper packaging of services so that dependencies and 
> isolation of implementation details exist.
> * Profile service supporting subprofiles and proper repository 
> abstraction to allow for simple requirements descriptions of services 
> in a profile driving the post MC bootstrap loading of services.
