Component Updates
-----------------
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4562
For tracking updates for the next AS5 CRx please use:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4647
The snapshot list is the same like last week:
<componentref name="jboss/common-core"
version="2.2.2.snapshot"/>
<componentref name="jboss/jboss-ejb3-cache"
version="0.11-SNAPSHOT"/>
- The jboss-ejb3-cache tag (Carlo) was waiting on jboss-javaee but this is now resolved so
Carlo could proceed with it:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4687
- JBoss Common, use a tagged release (dimitris)
- JBoss Messaging, waiting for the final 1.4.0.GA release. (next week?)
- Hibernate 3.3, needed by JBoss Cache. If it cannot be delivered by soon, target AS5
CR1.
Brian: "The current Hibernate core release is not compatible with JBoss Cache 2.0
(JBC API
is very different.) This breaks using JBC as a Hibernate 2nd level cache. For EJB3
entity
caching I've written a CacheProvider impl that deals with JBC 2.0, so that use case
is
handled. But if people want to use Hibernate+JBC outside of EJB3, that will be a problem.
A
workaround to this would be to write an equivalent to what I did for EJB3 and include it
in
the hibernate-int module. I'm currently working with Steve on a *much* improved
Hibernate/JBC integration for Hibernate 3.3. It would certainly be nicer to have AS 5 use
that."
Steve: No way I'll have anything other than alphas/betas of 3.3 before 9/14.
- JGroups 2.6 for AS5 CR1. Bela just released a 2.6.Beta1 and a 2.5.1 so maybe we can
choose
one of the two for Beta3 (now at 2.5)
JBAS JIRA
---------
The JIRA for AS5 needs further work and cleaning up
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS
Blockers and Criticals are the important ones, so make sure you mark as
such what must make it into a release, and preferably start working on it.

Testsuites
----------
Due to the large number of changes all of our testsuites are in a bad shape so we really
need to make an effort and stabilize them:
http://cruisecontrol.jboss.com/cc/buildresults/jboss-head-testsuite-sun-1.5
There is this weird shutdown issue when run in VMWare:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4587
http://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/job/JBoss-AS-5.0.x-TestSuite-sun15-noip/
If you work on the AS testsuite, record your work/findings here:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4636
Discussions
-----------
Various topics raised by Sacha
- Easier/condensed config options (a la -ds.xml)
- Downloadable prepackaged optional bundles
- MC/classloader based patch management with scripting capabilities.
