In my original plan, Pageflow was only targetted after July.
Pete, if one of your people can drive the pageflow migration, then I can be there to
guide it. That way we can move it forward to april.
Including jBPM 4 beta as part of your GA might not be a good idea. jBPM database
schema will change. And that could cause serious upgrade problems for SEAM users
using jBPM. Also upgrade from jBPM 3 to jBPM 4 will be impossible for now.
regards, tom.

All,
This Drools upgrade, and a probable upgrade to jBPM 4 (happening due to
these products needed in the JBoss SOA platform 5, based on EAP 5, which
in turn includes Seam) mean that we need to make the release Seam 2.2
(which I said would never happen, I know ;-)
Due to the concentration on Web Beans / Seam 3 there hasn't been a huge
amount of activity recently, however 2.2 will include:
* 112 issues closed (please direct your thanks to Norman here - he has
been soldiering away!)
* improvements to Seam-gen (Glassfish, IDEA etc.) from Dan
* big improvements to REST support - Christian and Jozef
* Drools and jBPM upgrades
So, I suggest that Norman and Marek (can you coordinate with each other)
handle the jBPM upgrade (Tom just released alpha2, and plans the GA in
the mid summer) - we should wait until there is a beta out I think for
Seam 2.2 GA... Tom, any rough guess when this will be?
Assuming Tom has a beta, I propose this schedule:
Seam 2.2.0 CR1 - Wednesday 22nd April
Seam 2.2.0 - Wednesday 13th May
Seam 2.2.1 CR1 - Wednesday 17th June
Seam 2.2.1 - Wednesday 8th July (hopefully just after the jBPM GA)
This will be the first time for time-boxing our releases too, something
we are doing for Web Beans, and will do for Seam3.
Anne-Louise, could you please comment on how these dates fit with EAP5
component freezes? Will we be able to get 2.2.1 in?
Thanks!
