[ecf-dev] ECF 3.5.1 final build on May 17

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

This is an update on the ECF 3.5.1 release.  The p2/platform folks have 
requested that ECF 3.5.1 be made available to them by May 17 [1].  I 
will do the final release build on the evening (pacific time) on May 
17.   Between now and then, please do not make any changes to the 
codebase without an associated bug report.  We now have resolved almost 
all bugs targeted for 3.5.1.

I would appreciate some assistance with testing the 3.5.1 install...and 
some basic smoke testing.  You can get a zip of a very recent build of 
ECF here [2] or a direct p2 repo here [3].   If you find install 
issues...or other issues...please open a bug report immediately...set 
the target as 3.5.1, and give it (at least) major severity.  Thanks.

BTW...some great news:  We have been able to get access to the OSGi 
Remote Service Admin (RSA) Test Compatibility Kit (TCK).  This is a set 
of junit tests for verifying implementation compliance with the OSGi 
Enterprise RSA specification.  Over the past couple of months (since 
we've had access to the TCK), I and Markus have been running the ECF RSA 
impl against the TCK and fixing compliance issues in our 
implementation.  As of now, ECF's implementation is passing all TCK 
tests!  This is very good...and although there are some formal hoops to 
jump through to claim full compliance, ECF's 3.5.1 implementation is 
very close.

Thanks,

Scott
