[seam-dev] Seam 2.1 branch

[Shane Bryzak]

The majority of the restructure is now complete, and what was in Seam 
trunk has now been moved to the Seam_2_1 branch:

https://svn.jboss.org/repos/seam/branches/community/Seam_2_1/

Any further development on Seam 2.1.x should be done in this branch, and 
only Seam 3.x development should now be happening in trunk.  From here 
onward there is still a lot of work to get trunk to a stable form, which 
will be my top priority this week.  In no particular order:

1. The build needs to be fixed.  We will be moving to a maven-based 
build at least for modules and common.  This gets number one priority.
2. Examples build needs to be fixed - Dan do you think you could work on 
this?
3. Docs build need to be fixed.  As each module has now become its own 
standalone project, the documentation will need to be self-contained 
within each module.  So for example, docs for the pdf feature should be 
contained under modules/trunk/pdf/docs.  We still need a master 
documentation build for when we do a full Seam release, which will 
include the docs for all modules.  We also need to notify the 
documentation team so that they can update their build system.  Pete do 
you know who we should contact for this?
4. The Hudson build is currently broken, so for now we should disable it 
for trunk.  We also need to set up new Hudson builds for the 2_1 
branch.  Pete, can you please delegate this task to the appropriate person?
5. We need to start porting the modules to JSR-299.  Our goal here 
should be to have implementation-independent modules, so that it should 
be possible to drop in any of our modules into any JSR-299 
implementation and have it work in that environment.  Security will be 
first off the bat as it is required by the booking example.
6. The booking example needs to be ported to run on JSR-299 (very high 
priority).
7. We should possibly evaluate whether any of the other major features 
such as framework, bpm, rules, etc deserve to be in their own module.

That's the state of things at the moment, I'll try to post regular 
progress updates this week.  I'll also post something to the forums to 
let the community know about the changes.
