Re: [jboss-as7-dev] JBoss AS 7.0.0.Beta1 tagged...
David, the AS test suite needs to be comprehensive - no doubt. However,
we have a release cycle that is different from AS and continuously test
a large set of OSGi functionality against AS7 trunk one a nightly basis.
Following your suggested approach, I would need to duplicate every OSGi
example and functional test in the AS7 code base. Alternatively, I'm
suggesting to have a known "Code Freeze" date and give every subsystem
that has an external test suite a chance to verify/veto the intended
release code base.
1.0.0.Beta1 was broken for OSGi webapps because of last minute changes -
I'm looking for ways to possibly fix Beta1 and have a reasonable process
that avoids this to happen in the future.
cheers

Thomas I think ultimately we need a comprehensive in-AS test suite.
This is the only way we're going to be able to catch problems on an
ongoing basis. I don't think we can afford to externally validate
only once per release - I can absolutely guarantee that this will
cause unexpected release delays.
