Subject: UPDATE: Assistance in testing JBDS with SOA-P
Following up:
1. I should have prefaced the original message with "Please feel free to
forward to anyone else (internal to RH/JB or under the appropriate
agreements for this sort of internal information) who you might think
would be interested in testing." If you do, please let me know, so I can
add them into the list of people receiving these email updates.
2. Related to (1): Why not just use a mailing list like soa-tools? There
are a couple of reasons: (a) There is no single list, or small set of
lists, that covers everyone involved (and, no, I am not sending this
request to thecore ;) ), (b) this is a short term, focused request, (c)
list requests are like talking to a stadium of people, whereas this
subset shows that I am talking to *you* :)
3. (Thanks, Len and Trev!) For the SOA-P download please use:
http://jawa05.englab.brq.redhat.com/released/soa-p-4.3.0.GA/
4. (Thanks, Max, Len, and Jeff!) Ignore the "all plug-ins" zips for the
tooling, and use the installer jar instead. You might find that your
browser attempts to open this jar directly instead of downloading it, in
which case you'll need to do a "save as" on the installer jar. Once
downloaded, from the command line issue "java -jar ...." with the jar
name to start the installer.
5. If you test but don't find any problems, still please drop an email
to Max and I saying that you've tried. Since "no response" does not mean
"tried it and found no problems to report," these notes will help Max
and I determine the test coverage in place for this combination.
6. Particular importance of this JBDS release: This is the release that
we'll take to EclipseCon in March, and we'd like to push it hard,
especially in the SOA area. We just need to be sure that what we push
doesn't fall over. :)
Thanks again!

As we reach the final stages of the JBoss Developer Studio (JBDS) 2.0
release, we are seeking help in testing the JBDS/SOA-P combination. In
particular, we're interested in how the jBPM and Drools distributions
bundled in the SOA-P product work with JBDS.
So, while testing and feedback at any stage is appreciated, the critical
period for release will be over the next 10 days or so. Any timely
feedback will help us to improve the tooling offered for this product
configuration.
The specific builds of each:
* JBDS 2.0: Use
http://reports.qa.atl.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/release/2.0.0.CR1/200812221144/
via the installer. (EAP is optional.)
* SOA-P: Use
http://jawa05.englab.brq.redhat.com/candidate/soa-4.3.0.GA_IR5/
(SOA team: this is the link that was provided to JBDS QE a while ago; if
a later build should be used, please let us know in this thread.)
If any questions come up during testing, it probably is best to use the
jbosstools-dev@lists.jboss.org mailing list, since that will get the
most people in the most time zones. (Of course there's always JIRA for
bugs.)
A number of people on thread have tested various milestones of this JBDS
release, and the input has been very valuable. We hope each of you can
spare a few cycles to help us wrap up testing for this product
combination.
