[jboss-as7-dev] JBoss AS 7.0.0.Beta1 tagged...

[Thomas Diesler]

David, the AS test suite needs to be comprehensive - no doubt. However, 
we have a release cycle that is different from AS and continuously test 
a large set of OSGi functionality against AS7 trunk one a nightly basis.

Following your suggested approach, I would need to duplicate every OSGi 
example and functional test in the AS7 code base. Alternatively, I'm 
suggesting to have a known "Code Freeze" date and give every subsystem 
that has an external test suite a chance to verify/veto the intended 
release code base.

1.0.0.Beta1 was broken for OSGi webapps because of last minute changes - 
I'm looking for ways to possibly fix Beta1 and have a reasonable process 
that avoids this to happen in the future.

cheers
