Re: 2.2 (trunk) bucket-o-snapshots

[Joe Bohn <jo...@earthlink.net>]

Hi Jarek,

It looks like the Axis2 1.5 release didn't happen yet.  Is there a new 
target?

Also, my offer still stands to help with the concurrent spec release if 
you want.  Let me know.

Thanks,
Joe

I could go along with either choice but it seems a bit more correct tome 
if we have EA associated with the spec version rather than our version 
since it is the spec that is not yet complete.  However, I can see 
issues with that as well (might be confusing and our users would have to 
change the artifact name rather than just the version when it is final).

It looks like David has been including EA in our version number for the 
servlet spec and I'm a big fan of consistency ... so perhaps we should 
go with that.

David Jencks,  - Are you planning to stick with your 1.0-EA version or 
were you thinking of changing it?  I think we should be consistent.

I strongly recommend putting the EA in the version.  IIUC you expect  
this code to be the 1.0 spec release not the 1.0-EA spec release.   
This is what I've done with servlet 3, connector 1.6, and jpa 2.0.

No, not that I can see but there is some progress on the dependencies.
Looks like we don't need a new release of Neethi and XmlSchema 1.4.3
is being voted on right now.

Yes, thanks! I can't decide if the version should be named 1.0-EA or
if the spec/module name should be renamed to have EA in it since there
is no 1.0 spec yet. Any opinions on that?
