[jbosstools-dev] ACTION REQUIRED: Prepare for 4.2.1.Final / 8.0.1.GA (release is next week Dec 15 2014)

This week is the "quiet period" in prep for 4.2.1.Final / 8.0.1.GA. You are required to update your root poms to point at the latest parent pom, version 4.2.1.Final-SNAPSHOT. Below you'll see a list of task jiras for that. -- Note too that the Final target platforms have NOT been released yet so please keep using the Final-SNAPSHOT versions until you see an announcement that the target platforms have been released (and -SNAPSHOT is removed). Latest Target Platform changes are linked from here: * https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3215 There *MAY* be one more TP change for Thym as a result of https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18711. -- There are 3 outstanding issues pending for 4.2.1/8.0.1 (for Hibernate and Aerogear) - please take a look and triage them as blocker for this release, or move them to the next one. https://issues.jboss.org/issues/?jql=%28%28project%20%3D%20%22JBIDE%22%20... -- Task JIRA created for this milestone include: JBDS : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3254 JBoss Tools : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18881 Aerogear : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18882 JST : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18883 VPE : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18884 JBT Update Sites : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18885 Server : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18886 Base : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18887 OpenShift : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18888 JavaEE : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18889 Birt : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18890 Forge : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18891 BrowserSim : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18892 Webservices : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18893 Arquillian : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18894 Central : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18895 Portlet : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18896 Freemarker : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18897 Central Discovery : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18898 I did not create task JIRAs for Hibernate and Livereload, because neither of those have commits in the 4.2.x branch since 4.2.0.Final and therefore need not have their root poms adjusted. -- Nick Boldt :: JBoss by Red Hat Productization Lead :: JBoss Tools & Dev Studio http://nick.divbyzero.com
