VDB's in Openshift becoming more visible, it's become apparent that Teiid's
primary tooling, Teiid Designer, should re-visit it's architecture and embrace these
concepts.<p> </p><p>A few discussions have already occurred amongst community members and a release code-name <b>Komodo</b> (a type of lizard akin to Teiid, the whip-tail lizard) was adopted to identify the next-generation Teiid Designer for the time being.</p><p><br></p><p>Options
for incorporating elements of Teiid's new direction could be
accomplished through drastically modifying/removing Designer's current
underlying EMF framework and developing anew from a fresh user
perspective. In addition there may be benefits to creating a tighter
coupling between Komodo and Teiid runtime, as well as incorporating
other JBoss technologies/projects like ModeShape and SRAMP work being done in Overlord.<br></p><p> </p><p>A summary of the discussions that have taken place and links to applicable JIRAs are available via wiki at: </p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://community.jboss.org/wiki/TeiidDesigner-KomodoReleaseDevelopmentPlan">http://community.jboss.org/wiki/TeiidDesigner-KomodoReleaseDevelopmentPlan</a><br></p><p><br></p><p>Check it out!!<br></p><br><div><span name="x"></span>Barry<span name="x"></span><br></div><br></div></body></html>
