[wildfly-dev] Component upgrade window callback

[Emmanuel Bernard]

Thanks for the input.

One thing to note. While Scott looks at the Hibernate ORM / Wildfly combo, we also have Hibernate Validator and Hibernate Search. 

+1 for the suggestion call on Wildfly-Dev - as long as the release is not too many months in the future otherwise we enter a very blurry picture of what can be accomplished. We (library-ists) will try and make concrete actions when we see the call, instead of ignoring it today. 
I like the provisioning project idea. As you say, it's not a full substitute as you want the primary distro to be as fresh as possible.

In the hibernate case Scott M usually coordinates major updates with Steve, since he usually has to update the integration code. We want to make two major improvements though:

The main problem is that we don’t really have a clear signal saying component upgrade window opened until date yyyy-mm-dd, or if it exists we are not watching it.
