sling12 timeline/feature models

hi,

I was wondering if there is a release timeline for Sling12. It seems 
Sling12 would be a great candidate to move over to feature models.

Would love to hear what the community thinks about that and if there is 
a way to contribute/get together and work on the sling 12 release.

Hi Robert

I am currently working on this (see Sling Whiteboard module sling-org-apache-feature-model-starter).

The module is using PM converted FMs to build and launch but I am working with Carsten to get the Sling Feature Maven Plugin’s include-artifact to create module FMs that are installed / deployed as part of the build. This way Sling can be composed of these FMs rather than having to write them manually. This goal is also able to incorporate repoinit FMs into its target FM.

Afterwards I will start working on the creation of the executable JAR file.

I hope to have this working somewhere mid-December this year.

Cheers - Andy

A very tentative list is at [0]. I am not sure what other think, but I
for one would be happy with just switching to the feature modules and
releasing. The tracking jira for that is [1].

As hinted in the description, we should have take care of:

1. Converting the Sling starter to the feature model
2. Generating the starter jar and war file from the feature model ( as
opposed to the provisioning model). One option that was suggested was
to generate a provisioning model out of all the feature model files and
then reuse the provisioning model maven plugin to generate the
artifacts.

If someone is thinking of giving it a shot, I'd be more than happy to
assist.

Thanks,
Robert
