Re: [vtp-dev] Questions, directions, techie stuff

Trip -
Thank you for these words. I was unaware of what you say here, and now
you have brought me (and others, no doubt) more up-to-date with the
project history. Can you enlighten us with the current status of v3.0
and near-term plans to release?
Yes, I have happily noted the recent activity in checkins to the
repository. I am particularly happy to see the efforts of Adam Berry to
get the project into the Eclipse build system.
As for my original launcher contribution, it still works as is discussed
in Bug 235044, and can be included in the build as is. Bug 235044 still
needs to be fixed in order to resurrect the Run... menu choice to invoke
the launcher after deploying the application. I am curious how Dirk is
integrating his JVoiceXML launcher into the platform without using
Run..., or is he also expecting that Bug 235044 gets fixed?

Mike,
You are correct in that this mailing list is provided by the Eclipse
foundation for our project to use to discuss issues of design and
architecture and to iron out implementation details. The design
decisions that I have recently described were not discussed in this
forum as they were made prior to OpenMethods contributing what is now
the majority of the VTP codebase.
The codebase has been stable from a design and architecture standpoint
for quite some time. If you look at the recent Bugzilla and source
commit activity for this project you'll see that there has been quite
a number of bugs and minor usability enhancements that have been put
in place. Sam Hopkins has made significant contributions in both
usability and defect resolution. Adam Berry has done a great job
bringing the VTP into the common Eclipse build infrastructure. We
will soon have consistent and frequent builds to offer consumers of
this project. Randy Childers has been invaluable in testing and
documentation updates. Dirk has been implementing the launcher
configuration and bridge for JVoiceXML. I have finished work on the
media defaults system and merged it into the trunk for general
consumption.
I will be kicking off a discussion of the "what's next" variety soon
for the next major development effort, but for the most part, the
current design and architecture has been able to adequately support
the expanding feature set. I would suggest that if anyone has
suggestions or feature requests that they post them to either this
list, the newsgroup, or preferably directly into Bugzilla. I have
tried to be open about the process behind the decisions made on this
project, even those that occurred pre-contribution. I am more than
willing to discuss any decision made in the past or those that will be
made in the future. Are there any design or architecture elements in
particular you would like to discuss?
