Jackrabbit 2.0 release plan

[Jukka Zitting]

Hi,

I'll be doing another Jackrabbit 2.0 alpha tomorrow.

The JCR 2.0 API jar is now officially available from the JCP (see
[1]), and I'm hoping to get the jar uploaded to Maven central within a
few days. After that I would like to switch from the source-only alpha
releases we've been doing to a sequence of beta releases that come
with all the pre-built binaries and other Maven artifacts for easier
downstream testing and integration.

We currently have the following blocker issues targeted for the final
Jackrabbbit 2.0 release:

  [JCR-2231] Improvements to user management (2)
  [JCR-2331] Configurable DefaultPolicy replacing Initialization
within the ACProvider
  [JCR-2243] Automatic upgrade to 2.0

Hi,

I wanted to do a 2.0-beta2 release two weeks ago at ApacheCon, but
even though I already cut the release candidate I never had time to
run the release vote. Now I'd like to get back on track by cutting
2.0-beta3.

We're getting closer to 2.0 final, but there still are blocker issues
to resolve:

  [JCR-2195] Provide possibility to import protected items using ...
  [JCR-2243] Automatic upgrade to 2.0
  [JCR-2331] Configurable DefaultPolicy replacing Initialization within ...

There are also a number of other issues tagged for 2.0. I'll start
looking through them to see which ones to keep and which ones to
postpone to 2.1.

BR,
