[jbosstools-dev] 4.2.1 CR1 build this weekend

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Hi,

This weekend we will create a build from tip[1] of 4.2.x branch and call 
it 4.2.1.CR1.

As discussed at the F2F we are aiming for a 4.2.1 release before Xmas 
with only
essential bug fixes, as coordinated between dev and QE. This release is 
currently
scheduled for GA on 15 December, as shown in JIRA [2] and was in the 
proposal
send out last week[3].

PLEASE, it is not expected *all* components will have updates for this 
release.
Only the ones that actually have critical issues/requests should 
contribute.

Please make sure your branch builds correctly, using the latest parent 
pom version
4.2.1.CR1-SNAPSHOT [4], and that if you have changes for the 4.2.1 
release,
make sure you have upversioned the version of the components - including 
both plugins
and features, and their associated poms.

For those projects which have so far *not* remembered to update, see 
details here [5].


[1] Going forward we should move to using a tagged/sha1 approach to 
prevent any
build surprises, but more about that in a follow up next week.
