Guys, Given the deadlines for getting 2.1.0 into AS 5's Beta3, I propose we drop the MC/AOP integration from this release. This particularly bugs me, since I really want to lose a lot of the boiler plate code, but being pragmatic, it is too big a change to be done right in such a short time frame. So, I propose a leaner 2.1.0 release, dropping not only the MC/AOP integration but also the following JIRAs JBCACHE-89 JBCACHE-207 JBCACHE-1082 JBCACHE-789 JBCACHE-331 JBCACHE-931 Hopefully we can release 2.1.0 by the end of Oct and then focus on a 2.2.0 release with all the remaining bits of 2.1.0, including MC/AOP integration, for Jan or Feb and then push for a 3.0.0 with MVCC after that. What are your thoughts? From a JBoss AS integration perspective, my understanding is that as long as the release is API compatible with 2.1.0 we should be able to slip it in to future versions of AS 5.
