[jboss-as7-dev] Web Console: Project Consolidation

Looking at the all the assets we've created in the past year, we've reached a point where it seems reasonable move the web console project to a custom repository and consolidate modules that did exist at various locations. Beginning with AS8 we'll maintain the web console in a dedicated repository at github.com that contains the other assets as well: https://github.com/hal Currently this breaks down into: - release-stream: Release stream for HAL that can be used across projects and products. - core: Core Console & SPI - ballroom: Common JBoss Widgets and Look&Feel - launchpad: Development utility - dmr.js: DMR in plain JS What does it mean for developers? - Maven coordinates The maven artefact names remain the same. - Issue tracking The console project will become a custom issue tracker to simplify maintenance of the various components. - Release Coordination The web console always used to be an external component to the AS and this remains the same. - Top Level Project (i.e. http://jboss.org/hal) No, probably not. Unless we start to see a growing demand in the community. FAQ Q: Why is the project called HAL? A: No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition, foolproof and incapable of error.
