*** 1.2.0 - good
*** trunk - good (DBWS examples on WLS didn't run properly - fixed)
** Pessimistic Locking Extended Scope - test checked in but not enabled - 303360 - dev bug; also need to review the comments in source code
** MOXY (trunk) - using Oracle xmlparser still has issues - 6 errors - bug 303918
** Fixed DBWS nightly test failures - env issues
** investigated JDK15 issues (trunk) - unclean db
** Fixed JPA/Glassfish recent nightly test failures - minor test script changes
** Investigated Glassfish/Derby test failures - concluded that func failure related to Glassfish/Derby combo -- tests passed on WLS/Derby and Glassfish/Oracle DB - bug 290302 
* This week
** EL 2.1 - osgi, advanced querying
** Fix Bugs
** Test infra doc updates
** Builds - our nightly tests sometimes can't get the eclipselink.zip file (from website) at the designated time....

== Build ==
* Milestone Releases
** 2.0.1 RC1
* Test component build cleanup (Holding)
** Restructure to allow testing to *not* rebuild product jars (293032)
*** Will use "static targets" as discussed in meeting last week (297217).
*** Tests will not compile when run target called. 
**** merged partial work to update standards. 
**** migration work for test projects, currently priority 2 
** Need shippable testing artifacts (R2).
* Helios build integration (293034)
** Need to do p2 consolidation work to manage multiple versions in a single update location.
*** investigation composite repositories
**** Have working prototype. 
**** Working on creating a Composite of all our releases.
**** Still need to find a way to automate the process.
*** Currently determining if existing ant tasks designed for use within Eclipse can be utilized externally.
**** not workable.
*** Migration from p2.metadata.generator to p2.publisher
**** Prototype complete. 
***** Awaiting confermation of a bugfix before commit.
***** Need to review existing process to convert to new changes. 
* jpa.test10 Suite - Holding
** Explore possibility of using eclipselink.jpa.test from 1.1.3 as a way to certify javax.persistence 1.0 backward compatability in EclipseLink 2.0.x
*** All tests now compiling with trunk, 83% success rate on Test run.
*** Awaiting review by Tom or Peter of test results (still).
** Need "project name" assuming this gets running 100%

== Dynamic Persistence ==
[http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Development/Dynamic Dynamic Persistence]

* 303651 Issue raised on forum with dynamic entities not having their attribute-change-tracker properly setup after the first entity transaction commit call

[[EclipseLink/Development/Incubation]]

*** Doug requesting help.
** Please provide feedback on [[EclipseLink/Development/Incubator/Extensions/DatabasePlatformPromotion | Proposal for lowering barrier of entry for new database platforms]]

== Documentation ==
*Working on automated doc build process (Rick & Eric)<br />If not possible, Rick is working on an automated  localized doc build process, and would simply post the daily doc builds
*Updated [http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Development/Documentation/Requirements Documentation Requirements and Build Proposal]
*Several "chapters" currently stored in XML. More to come once the production/build process is finalized.
*Need discussion about how the strategy we are using for User Documentation compares to the wiki-based strategy we are using for developer documentation and whether there is merit to changing the way we do developer documentation. This discussion should wait until we have used found all the issues with our User Documentation Strategy.
