[seam-dev] Releases of Seam 2.0 for JBoss AS 5

[Jay Balunas]

AS 5 CR1 is due out June 10th as I understand it.  That does not leave much
time.  After the current AS5 support changes are in seam we should probably
do a 2.0.3.CR1 release.  This will give us a few days prior to the AS5
release for dedicated Seam testing with a stable build (which did not happen
prior to the last AS5 release).

My concern with waiting to tag is having unneeded changes creeping in and
adding risk right up to AS5 release.  I would rather do 2.0.3.CR2 release
than have something break AS5 support and not know it until the last
minute.  If a last minute AS change does effects seam support then we would
need to do a 2.0.3.CR2 release as you said.  To mitigate this I should be
involved and testing with the final AS5 release candidate prior to it being
released.  We should spot these issues before someone says "Its out the
door".

I think that we need to hold 2.0.3.GA until AS 5 is released or closer to it
(depending on Stan's answers).  I would rather not do a 2.0.3.SPX release.

All of this is influenced by the answers to Pete's questions though.  If the
release cycle is months we may need to adjust.

Of coarse the risk here is my time.  We can discuss off line, and adjust
priorities as needed.
