Expect a followup with a link to all the issues. ...And here it is! The parent issue for all Java EE 7 tasks is (for now) here: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6553 You can and should feel free to add more subtask items as they come up or you become aware of them, but *please* make sure that each item you add relates to *concrete* work to be done (i.e. no amorphous tasks like "Make sure all tests are EE 7 compliant" or anything like that - every task needs to have a clear measurable action plan). If possible, outline the steps that are expected to be taken right in the task description. Note that the JIRA project is still AS7 - we know! It'll be taken care of at some future date as soon as a few uninteresting issues are cleared up. That said, if your tasks for EE 7 support are clear - feel free to jump right in and get moving on it ASAP. If you assign an issue to yourself, please put in a brief comment summarizing your plan. If there are design questions that need answering before you can moe forward then don't put it off - start those discussions now, because now is the time! -- - DML _______________________________________________ jboss-as7-dev mailing list jboss-as7-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jboss-as7-dev

Just do what you can, when you can, and resolve the issue once the spec is finalized (or you're reasonably assured that it's close enough). At some point we can call it "done" and cut over to doing case-by-case fixes; when we make that transition is up to each assignee to decide.

I agree. We need to wake the community back up again :)

Hi, > Hello Everyone, > > With the prerelease tagging of 7.2.0.Final. The focus is now on AS8, and it's primary focus will be EE7. Our hope is to try to turn this release around quickly, so some of the other changes we have been discussing (e.g. revamping management SPIs) are going to instead be targeted for AS9. > There will be binary downloads for anything between 7.1.1.Final and the future AS8?

Hello Everyone, With the prerelease tagging of 7.2.0.Final. The focus is now on AS8, and it's primary focus will be EE7. Our hope is to try to turn this release around quickly, so some of the other changes we have been discussing (e.g. revamping management SPIs) are going to instead be targeted for AS9. More details will follow, but I recommend that everyone, if you haven't already, take a look at your respective areas, and the various spec changes required. David has volunteered to compile a big jira list. Expect a followup with a link to all the issues. Thanks! -- Jason T.
