[jboss-as7-dev] Community AS8 Roadmap Proposal

Hello Everyone, I am happy to announce a proposed roadmap for AS8. After some discussions with various AS developers and community members, the goals we think are important are: 1. Java EE7 2. Integration of Undertow (EE7 Web Sockets + performant non-blocking i/o) 3. Patching 4. Migration from JacORB to the JDK Orb 5. Transition to the new yet to be announced name I am proposing an agressive 6 month timeline for this release, with the following key milestones: May 7 - Release Alpha1 + Includes undertow, some ee7 June 11 - Release Beta + more progress on EE7 July 11 - Release CR1 + EE7 feature complete July 25 - Release CR2 if needed (Hopefully TCK 100% by this date) August 8 - Release Final As usual the August 8th date is conditional on the Java EE certification process. I look forward to any and all feedback. Thanks! -- Jason T. Greene JBoss AS Lead / EAP Platform Architect JBoss, a division of Red Hat
