Re: reducing dependencies, how about (for 2.0):
1) Standardize on JGroups 2.5 and chuck concurrent.jar.
2) Chuck JDK 1.4 compatibility, which IMHO is a lot of trouble for
little gain. Since AS 4.2 ships with 1.4.x, we're going to have to
do bug fixes on 1.4.x for a number of years. That makes it a semi-
living branch for those non-JBAS users who require JDK 1.4.
3) See if any of the PojoCache dependencies can be eliminated or
reduced to optional (e.g. microcontainer).
Interesting suggestion here, to drop 1.4 compat for JBC 2.0.0. The
only reason we tried to have this in is for Hibernate, which is
baselined on JDK 1.4. What do people think about this? I would
think we'd want Hibernate running with the latest and greatest JBC
though...
