[seam-dev] What are the plans for seam 2.x?

[Denis Forveille]

It seems that everybody get very excited about the development of Seam
v3 and that's cool.

But what about the development of Seam v2?

As discussed in the weld forum, us, users of seam v2/EJB 3.0 but poor
non glassfish v3 (or JBoss v6) users will have to wait for months
before we'll be able to use weld and seam v3 in production.

The question is what are the plans to maintain seam v2.2 until 1) seam
3 is GA and 2) WebSphere/Oracle/WebLogic/<name your production AS
here> offer a JEE6 compliant version of their AS?

All our development is based now on Seam v2 (and I hope many other
users in the world..) and we are very happy with it but I think a
clear statement should be made  on the strategy for Seam v2.x in the
meantime for the current Seam users. Or maybe it is somewhere and i
missed it?

Personally I will continue to commit bug fixes when I see the fit for
this in Seam v2.x but what about the rest of you guys? At some point
I'll for sure try to participate to the Seam v3/Seam v2 integration
module when the time will come to migrate our apps (And WebSphere will
provide an implementation of  CDI).

Is there a planned released date of Seam v2.2.1? (There are currently
1000+ JIRA entries for Seam v2, 100+ assigned to Seam v2.2.1)
Will we have a Seam v2.2.2 (or maybe v2.3) in the future?

Also for seam v2.0.3 which is in CR since months, should it be
possible to either release this version or cancel it? thanks
