[jbosstools-dev] JBoss Tools 4.1 Alpha based on Kepler - ready for branch for build ETA next week?

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Hey,

If we branched for JBT 4.1 Alpha next week would you be ok ?

Koen and Denis did an awesome job of at least getting Hibernate JPA/Dali integration compiling this week.

And as Nick announced our simplest plan moving forward is to compile JBT 4.1 which will be basis for JBDS 7 against Kepler (theoretically we could have something working 
on both but it would be a massive QE effort).
 
Eclipse Kepler M5 is coming out Friday so we might still have some issues but Nick/Mistria will be setting up a M5 based target platform as soon as possible.

It would be great if we could get out an early Alpha to get some traction and figure out what issues we got to fight when it all comes together.

Could you let me know ASAP if you have any issues/concerns with doing a branch next week for an Alpha build ? Would you be ready ?

Being ready for this means: 
1) tested your component works on M5
2) no remaining jiras on 4.1.Alpha1 (triage your component! if questions ping/raise it)
3) issues marked with N&N so you can get them documented
4) Verified your component .y. version number have been bumped i.e. 3.2.1 -> 3.3.0 (we still have to do this "too high jump" in our current setup -hopefully can fix before next big version)
5) Branched your component with jbosstools-4.1.Alpha1x 

Please let me know if you are ready for that or have questions/concerns.

Thanks,
Max
