Progress Since Last Meeting

Released basic version of jboss-retro-maven-plugin. It can now generate and deploy jdk1.4 compatible files. Still need to implement the retro check functionality.
Tested the maven release plugin. This plugin was used to generate svn tags and deploy the maven plugins
Tested the assembly plugin. Created an assembly for jboss-common that could be used to create a combined common file.


Topics to Discuss

Review the release and assembly plugins. Discuss how they can be used for releases of various projects.
Discuss deployment of jdk1.4 compatible artifacts.
Carlo has started working on mavenizing the EJB project.
Have not heard from IT regarding the snapshot repository and the maven build server or the svn migration.

Switch jboss microcontainer over to maven.
Migrate jboss-retro builds to maven
Complete the retro check functionality of the retro plugin
