The sections corresponds to the sections used in the poll http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=134778 . The resources will be distributed according to the result of the poll. I.e. 75% is fall of the section 3.
section 1 (New components)
rich:hotKey This component attached to any JSF component or the whole page allows to define a hot key that triggers some activity.
rich:ajaxValidator a4j:support like component which enables validation according to some event on parent component. Also registers model-based Hibernate Validators on parent component.
ruch:beanValidator It could be used to register model-based constraints defined Hibernate validators for the component.
ruch:graphValidator The component register model-based Hibernate Validators for some subtree. it also could be used in order to fire the whole bean validation including fields which are not used on the page.
rich:extendedDataTable The component is contributed to Rich Faces from the community. It extends rich:dataTable with additional features - manageable selection of rows, columns reordering, grouping by columns and etc..
section 2 (Enhancements, Simlifications )
state manager. Similar to the State feature of Flex, it allows to have and quickly navigate between the different page states.
Data Table Scroller and new sorting and filtering features compatibility http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-2815
Dran-n-Drop on Tree Nodes ( http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-2987 )
Using Flash Module inside rich:fileInput. This is an enhancement over the already existing component. The flash module (not GUI part) will be automatically detected and used if available and enabled. The module allows some additional features, such as multi-files chooser, having info about uploading file before uploading, pause of resuming uploading. It is similar what flickr.com allows.
section 3 (Code Stability)
bug fixing (See the jira issues marked for 3.2.2)
unit test coverage up to 60% . Unit tests are developed together with component development and allow to detect problems (including the regression ones) during each build. The requirement from RedHat: not less than 50%. Currently, we have about 55%. This number will be increased.
auto integration tests (Server and Client) - We are going to use Selenium Testing environment (http://shale.apache.org/shale-apps/selenium.html) to perform automatic tests. It allows to test not only server, but the client-side code as well using different browsers. This is the root for selenium Tests: http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/richfaces/trunk/test-applications/seleniumTest/
control of common quality metrics (PMD/Checkstyle) . (see http://richfaces-pulse.exadel.com:81/ui/columns/dashboard-report.html)
