[jboss-as7-dev] Community AS8 Management API Changes and Freeze Dates

A couple points re: allowing teams who provide management tooling for the AS to plan for AS 8: 1) Major subsystem changes If you are responsible for a subsystem and expect to create a new subsystem for AS 8 or to make significant modifications to the management API exposed by an existing one, please reply to this thread with a brief summary of what you expect to do. This will give Heiko Braun a chance to plan. 2) Management API Freeze Dates The roadmap Jason has laid out will of course involve some changes to the management APIs exposed by the AS core and by its subsystems. In order to allow tooling that depends on the management APIs to react to any changes we make, we'll need to complete changes to the management APIs in advance of the July 11 CR1 date. After discussions with Heiko Braun, we agreed upon the following "freeze" dates for the management APIs: 1) June 11 (Beta release date) -- no new subsystems after this date, no substantial changes to the core management API after this date, no large new features in existing subsystems after this date. 2) June 25 -- final management API freeze. No further management API changes except minor bug fixes that will not affect the console. If you have any concerns about making any of these dates, please speak up now.
