[jboss-dev] Re: Plan for JBossAS 4.2.0.CR1 - Your Help is Needed

Hi folks, We are shooting for Feb/26th for JBossAS 4.2.0.CR1, which is only 4.5 weeks away. As a consequence: 1) We must finish with all development/bug fixing tasks by Feb/5th. Anything not done until then will be deferred. 2) EJB3 team has an additional week to work (until Feb/12th) and a couple more days to finish any integration tasks. 3) If you are not doing features development, please help *now* fixing the testsuites. We are looking a lot better (93%) than last week (~70%) but there is still way to go. http://cruisecontrol.jboss.com/cc/buildresults/jboss-4.2-testsuite-1.5 There a few things broken mainly due to tomcat->jboss-web transition, jrmp->unified invoker changes jbossTM->jbossTS(arjuna) switch Most failing tests are in the following categories: org.jboss.test.cluster.test org.jboss.test.cmp2.audit.test org.jboss.test.cmp2.simple org.jboss.test.compatibility.test org.jboss.test.jacc.test org.jboss.test.jca.test org.jboss.test.testbeancluster.test org.jboss.test.tm.test org.jboss.test.txiiop.test org.jboss.test.web.test org.jboss.test.webservice.* ... 4) We want to pass as much (or all?) of TCK1.4 for 4.2.0.CR1 :) I wanted to delay this until we get most of the jboss testsuites passing, but we can't delay this any longer. JBoss 4.2 is a priority, so whether it is working on JIRA tasks, testsuites, fixes or TCK stuff, there is plenty of work to do for everyone, so your help is very much (and urgently) needed. If you see issues with this schedule, let me know. We'll probably create and assign JIRA tasks for the testsuites/TCK fixes (we only recently managed to get some good teststuite runs), but please don't wait for that and be proactive.
