[jbosstools-dev] ACTION REQUIRED: Prepare for 4.2.1.Final / 8.0.1.GA (release is next week Dec 15 2014)

[Nick Boldt]

This week is the "quiet period" in prep for 4.2.1.Final / 8.0.1.GA.

You are required to update your root poms to point at the latest parent 
pom, version 4.2.1.Final-SNAPSHOT. Below you'll see a list of task jiras 
for that.

--

Note too that the Final target platforms have NOT been released yet so 
please keep using the Final-SNAPSHOT versions until you see an 
announcement that the target platforms have been released (and -SNAPSHOT 
is removed).

Latest Target Platform changes are linked from here:

* https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3215

There *MAY* be one more TP change for Thym as a result of 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18711.

There are 3 outstanding issues pending for 4.2.1/8.0.1 (for Hibernate 
and Aerogear) - please take a look and triage them as blocker for this 
release, or move them to the next one.

I did not create task JIRAs for Hibernate and Livereload, because 
neither of those have commits in the 4.2.x branch since 4.2.0.Final and 
therefore need not have their root poms adjusted.
