M4 Status

	I believe Jeff is working on separate plans for Tomcat and Jetty 
builds, so we can produce two separate distributions as people seemed to 
prefer.

	David B asked me to try to get the IzPack Maven target working,
though in truth I'm happy to run it from the command line to produce the
installer for this release.  The installer is currently working though we 
will likely need to adjust the install plans once the Tomcat/Jetty change 
is in.

	Are there any other issues we know about with M4?  I hear there 
may be some web services stuff but I'm not sure where that stands.

	It would be nice to come up with a quick checklist so we can get 
these things in and commence with TCK testing before we push it out the 
door.

Thanks,
	Aaron

I think that the notion that adding new features into a QA branch is a 
bad idea stands, regardless of how simple the changes are and how simple 
it is to merge them.  It's simply bad form.

Being selfish, I would like to see it in M4, and I agree it was part of 
the concensus of the 2 builds.

	You're effectively moving to ignore the result of a previous 
discussion, where a number of people voted to distribute two identical M4 
releases, one with Jetty, and one with Tomcat.  There is no reasonable way 
to do that without Jeff's change.

	I don't think it's necessary to recut the branch to merge this in.  
It's a few simple svn merge commands.

	If we do want to change the decision to distribute only a Jetty
build of M4, then we can leave this change out, but we need more people's
opinions (particularly the people who voted for two separate but equal M4
releases).  I don't care a lot either way.

I think that this should wait for M5 or we recut M4.  Tossing in new 
features into a QA branch is a not so good idea.

I think that some people are already testing the non-web portions.
