Re: [wtp-dev] JEE 5 Working Group Meeting - Agenda

["Rob Stryker" <rob.stryker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All:

I had genuinely wanted to attend this meeting, but was without internet yesterday. Since the conference call information was only sent out yesterday, I did not receive it and was unable to call in.  Can we try to send out call details more than one day in advance? Hopefully this isn't too much of an inconvenience. 

I'd like to dive into at least reading on the posted EJB3 bugs and model discussions to get a feel for what others are thinking and the general feel of those involved. Naci: can you get me a link to Chuck's ejb3 bugs as well as the discussions so that I can begin that task?

I think I'll have more suggestions and comments to make once I get a feel for the direction of the discussion. 

Thanks. And again, sorry for not attending.

Max,

Thank you for the detailed explanations.  I have looked at the bugs to
get a feel for JBoss reqs.  There are lots of good things in there.

I think it would be very useful to gather these thoughts under a few
common topics.  Maybe Robert, can merge some of those bugs under Chuck's
EJB3 bugs, and model extensibility discussions that is being lead by SAP.

It will help us focus on critical items.
