[wtp-dev] JEE 5 Working Group - Status

[Chuck Bridgham <cbridgha@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

Doesn't look like we are having a meeting
today, but I wanted to give our status, and please email me with your questions.
We did not drop any of these changes
to the I Build this week, as much of this function wasn't ready. 

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=177548
  (Run on support for JEE5 faceted projects) 

This is very close to dropping, and
we are working out some issues with the server adapter factory extension
points.   We have published
to Tomcat 6 for instance, and are working
on Geronimo/Glassfish scenarios.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=177553  (Add additional
JEE5 properties to existing DataModels) 

No additional progress here, but not
concerned with changes required by next week.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=176097 (JEE5 Models - Interfaces)


The plugin org.eclipse.jst.jee in the
HEAD stream contains a new source folder "models" that contain
the new classes/interfaces.
We decided to also include a sample
EMF implementation, but these packages are not registered, or hooked up
to client api

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175139 (Model implementation
- plugins) 

Changes here are in mid-stream, allowing registration
of models - more progress expected by tomorrow, but not ready to drop today.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=177565 (Import archive support)

Its too early to determine, but this could be in jeopardy
for not being ready by Next Wednesday

Thanks - Chuck
