Subject: [eclipselink-dev] 1.0M1
Exit Criteria & Schedule
EclipseLink
Component Leads and Developers,
I have
been working on an initial roadmap (http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/RoadMap)
and want to start working on a more concrete plan for an initial milestone as
we move towards a 1.0 release. I would like to get a concrete set of exit
criteria for 1.0M1 and then we can work backwards on what needs to be done and
pull together a schedule.
My
rough thinking on what we may want to include
·
Deliver the
functionality included in the initial contribution. No new features planned
beyond what has been done.
o
Add descriptions on
RoadMap as well as document the use cases that users should expect to work
·
Complete initial
component organization of source and tests
·
Automated build process
- nightly?
·
Testing
o
Automated nightly
testing on MySQL or Derby?
o
LRG defined and working
for OracleDB and MySQL/Derby that developers can use to validate check-ins
o
Server testing available
for manual execution?
o
JPA CTS run by Oracle
·
Packaging
o
Only JAR and src.ZIP (No
OSGi bundle for this milestone)
o
Ensure proper about.html
file(s) created and populated
o
Distributable
incubation.zip with allowed dependencies and document for additional required
dependencies
·
Wiki Content
o
Organize content to
clearly address users versus those who wish to develop or integrate EclipseLink
o
Users: How to get
started with EclipseLink JPA, EclipseLink MOXy, and EclipseLink SDO
o
Developers: Explain
components, how to build, how to test
Please
provide your feedback on this list any any other items you feel we need
to address. If there are functional bugs then we should get them filed in
the Eclipse bugzilla and add them to the exit criteria.
This milestone is targeted at early adopters and
is not an official Eclipse release as we are still an incubation project. The
priority is getting through a milestone and working out the processes. I want
to plan milestone builds at a relatively fixed so consumers can gain confidence
and rely on our scheduling.
Please
provide you feedback by the end of the week (COB Friday September 14th) and we
can schedule a meeting for next week to discuss open issues and nail down our
exit criteria.
Doug
