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-streamRelease stream for HAL that can be used across projects and products.
coreCore Console & SPI
ballroomCommon JBoss Widgets and Look&Feel
launchpadDevelopment utility
dmr.jsDMR 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.
