Minutes: JDO TCK Conference Call Friday, April 6, 9 am Pacific Time

[Craig L Russell <cr...@oracle.com>]

Attendees: Michael Bouschen, Matthew Adams, Michelle Caisse, Craig  
Russell

Agenda:

1. log4j class loader, no enhancer log output with maven 2: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-706?

There are several bugs when the tck is run. May be a class path or  
class loader problem. Can anyone else apply the patch and see what  
happens?

The tck without the patch runs but runonce fails.

2. API build failure when using JDK 1.7.

The compiler complains about "naked" template classes, e.g. Class<?>  
in JDOHelper.

NOTE: The JDK 1.7 compiler has changed the stack frame layout. There  
will be real work to upgrade to 1.7 for enhancement.

3. SignatureTest failure for method  
Discriminator.discriminatorColumnName(), patch available for review:
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-713

Patch looks good. Note that the signature checker validates that the  
default value for the discriminator is a discriminator annotation, but  
does not validate that the value of the discriminator has the default  
values.

4. What's needed to release 3.1? Go to https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=10630 
,
    click "Issues" in the menu on the left and then click "JDO 3  
maintenance release 1 (3.1)" under "Unresolved: By Version"
    News on License for FrameMaker?

No reply on the FrameMaker license. AI Craig try with another Adobe  
person.

5. Other issues

Message from Henk Penning re bad signature in distribution. The issue  
was a bad KEYS.asc which is not a file that is needed anyway. The  
assumption is that the file had not been updated when the KEYS file  
was updated. The KEYS.asc file needs to be removed. AI volunteer  
remove the KEYS.asc file from where Henk moved it.

[April 8 2011] AI Craig comment on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-617 
  re the utility of the update operator. Really? Is Craig going to do  
this?
