[jbosscache-dev] JBC Roadmap

[Manik Surtani]

Guys,

I've made some notes around the upcoming releases of JBC 2.x over here:

	http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=RoadMapOverview

Key things are:

2.1.0: adds no new features, but is an architectural cleanup.  JBoss  
AOP for interceptors (no more hand-wired interceptor chains) which  
allows us to apply this to Nodes directly, and JBoss MC for IOC which  
allows us to ditch a lot of the custom configuration stuff and allows  
us to cleanly parameterise tests.  Tests can get more sophisticated  
and targeted this way as well, since injecting stubs at any level  
becomes easy.  Also makes the codebase a lot leaner since we will  
throw out a lot of the boilerplate stuff.

2.2.0: Partitioning.  I have an initial design on this which Bela,  
Galder and myself came up with while in Neuchatel.  Will wiki-ise  
this for more discussion and improvement.

2.3.0: Executors and Functors.

Please do have a look, I'd love to hear thoughts and comments.

Cheers,
