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:
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.
No, probably not. Unless we start to see a growing demand in the community.
