[jbossws-dev] Re: developer conference topics

[Thomas Diesler]

I would like to address the procedure of how the EAP and other platforms 
  consume our respective projects.

Currently we have the situation where we do extensive QA against our 
supported platforms.

http://jbws.dyndns.org:8180/hudson/

Later the EAP team strips the build apart and even modifies source 
artifacts only to see that they have test failures that they come back 
to us with. This has become a resource killer that we cannot ignore any 
longer.

I'd personally like to have the view that we work on community projects 
that must be consumed by a platform "as is". If the platform folks 
modify bits, its their business and not supported by us.

cheers
