release prep

[David Blevins <da...@visi.com>]

I recreated the branch as we had a ton of fixes come in thanks to  
reports by Alex and others.  Good to see some holiday activity :)   
People getting some time off and choosing to spend some of it with us,  
thank you!

Going to start creating svn revisioned builds of our snapshot  
dependencies, or pull the final version if available.  So far that's:

maven-surefire-plugin
xbean
geronimo-connector
commons-dbcp

There maybe some more, just took a quick look.

If people can start kicking the tires and sniffing over the binaries,  
run our assemblies and try them out, that'd be a very big help.   
There's usually a lot of manual work there that needs to be done  
before release.

Connector, xbean and surefire have now all been released.  That just  
leaves commons-dbcp.  I checked in a module that takes commons-dbcp  
and uses shade to "repackage" it into our groupId.  We should be able  
to publish a snapshot of commons-dbcp into the little repo in our svn  
tree, but update all the code but the dep module to use the repackaged  
one which would get published with the rest of our org.apache.openejb  
groupId'ed libraries.  The end result would mean that you wouldn't  
have to add the little repo in our svn tree to your pom's repo list if  
you wanted to have a dep on openejb-core or other.  Going to do the  
same for our cxf code (currently requiring the incubator repo to be in  
your pom), but in this case also squish it down to one jar instead of  
the 8 or so it is now.

Currently none of our examples list these other repos (little repo in  
our svn, and incubator) and as a result they don't actually work  
unless you magically happen to have the right deps in your local maven  
repo.  Unfortunately, this was the case in beta 1 and I suspect all  
the examples were broken for you unless you happened to build openejb  
(simply depending on it doesn't do it).

Last time I asked, they wanted a few more JIRAs completed before  
releasing this.  There hasn't been any progress since

Updates on our snapshot situation.

Surefire 2.4 went up for a vote late December but still hasn't closed  
(last vote was on the 3rd) .  I replied to the vote thread on the 8th  
asking what the status was letting them know we needed a release but  
no response yet.

Shot an email off to xbean-dev volunteering to cut 3.3

> geronimo-connector

Put this one up for a vote.  Could be ready as soon as Sunday.

> commons-dbcp

Still an unknown.  It'd be fantastic if we can get this released or  
find a solution that doesn't involve publishing to our mini-repo in  
svn (if we do that then we have to add the repo to *all* our examples  
just for this one jar).

If all goes well, we can put OpenEJB 3.0-beta-2 up for a vote on  
Monday the 14th.
