Hi,
I'd like to say many thanks for team for your hard work to make this
release happened.
Max, sure we'll follow your directions especially about enjoying holidays :)
Merry Christmas and happy New Year :)

Hi,
If I don't hear anything else JBDS 2 CR1 is ready and we got ready
with JBoss Tools just a few days short of what we expected (22/12
instead of 19/12)
so it turned out to be Christmas after all this year - Thanks Team! ;)
We learned a lot (again) this time around and big kudos to both Nick
Boldt and Denis Golovin for pushing the builds through - Thanks!
Special thanks for Nick Boldt on improving the release process with
several magnitudes by simply utilizing the wonders of rsync and direct
copies to
our updatesites and
sf.net - I feel much less bad for those doing the
future releases now :) It's those little improvements that makes a huge
difference - Nick, thanks again!
In the short and long term it is important that we all watch out on
the forums and follow up on anything we can so users feel helped and
hopefully
also get helped. It is crucial for any opensource project to keep the
community alive.
The next phase is about fixing bugs and making the ui look and feel
smooth! GA should not add any features unless they are
critical/blockers - if in doubt speak up on this or jbosstools list.
For now I would like everyone to try and use our software and report
the bugs/issues you find - and then start help fixing bug.
Also remember that the documentation is also part of our feature set -
so if you find issues in the docs, report them or even better
fix them.
And most important of all, remember to enjoy the upcoming holiday
season no matter where you are - all of the above is not relevant
during vacation :)
Merry Christmas and See you next year!
Max
p.s. This is my last day before my vacation - I won't be reliably
online until 4th January; I will though check emails once in a while
so if something is urgent I'll reply.
