RE: [birt-pmc] Updated BIRT 2.1 Project Plan
|
Mike,
Ideally we would test all 3, but the is the hard part from
a resource standpoint. The strategy of testing the lowest and highest
in a range gives a fair probability that the intermediate versions will work.
Hence the reason of testing 4.1.x and 5.5.x. Anticipation is that there is a
fair probability that 5.0.x will "just work".
However, it sounds like from your perspective, there is no
value for testing 4.1. Right?
Paul.
I understand the issues around
resource constraints, but it just seems strange to me that we would test against
tomcat V4.1, skip a very popular 5.0 version, and test again against the current
V5.5. Unless there is something here I don't know about, why not drop the V4.1
and test against 5.0.28 and 5.5? These are the versions Apache
recommends.

Michael and Scott,
Thanks for the feedback. I believe that we are
testing against a specific version of Tomcat 4.1 and 5.5. By listing 4.1.x and
5.5.x we are saying that we expect that BIRT will work fine against all 4.1.x
and 5.5.x versions. To address your question about supporting 5.0.28, resource
constraints are limiting us from doing that. Additionally, the BIRT runtime will
run in both 1.4.2 and 1.5 JVM, so that should not be an issue. I’ve updated the
project for Supporting the Enhanced ODA Framework to remove the reference to
external connection profiles. This is not going to make it into 2.1. I’ve also
added a project for bugzilla ID 126109 based on Scott’s feedback.
Thanks! Krishna

A few comments:
- The
App Server reference platform lists Tomcat 4.1.x and 5.5.x. It doesn't
include 5.0.x. Why include the V4 version but not the V5.0 family?
Also, I believe that V5.5 requires the JRE V5.0 which conflicts with J2SE
V1.4.2 listed elsewhere. While you don't have to support all V5.0.x
versions, at least 5.0.28 should be there. You could probably similarly
restrict the V4.1.x to 4.1.31, which is the one available on the tomcat website.
I would be hesitant to require J2SE V5, as I'd guess that there is still a
lot of 1.4.2 out there.
- Under "Support Enhanced ODA
Framework", does this imply that you support an externally supplied Connection?
If so, this is a big feature that makes connection pooling possible. Am I
reading this wrong?

Please review the attached BIRT 2.1 project plan and provide me
feedback
by COB tomorrow - Wednesday. The plan is to post the plan on to
eclipse.org

incorporate these
individually.
Thanks!
