Definitely,we can shoot for this Friday, no problem on that.
However it's important to mention that the Forge version in JDBS will remain 2.12.1.Final, because their release cycle is different from ours. After the release I'll submit a PR to the JBDS team but we'll have to wait for the Jboss Tools team to include it in the next JBDS release. We could ask users to upgrade by pointing to the nightly update site, but I am not 100% sure that it will work in JBDS (this is a good opportunity to test it).
