## Description: The mission of OpenJPA is the creation and maintenance of software related to JPA: Object Relational Mapping for Java ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Project Activity: We did finish our work towards JakartaEE 9 and released a first version. This still does not pass the TCK, so we do not claim compatibility though. ## Community Health: Activity was fine, we did test our first JakartaEE release. Thus mainly stabilisation and feedback did happen. ## Membership Data: Apache OpenJPA was founded 2007-05-16 (15 years ago) There are currently 35 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. ## Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Maxim Solodovnik on 2019-04-13. - No new committers. Last addition was Matt Pavlovich on 2019-05-22. Recent releases: 4.0.0 was released on 2024-02-14. 3.2.2 was released on 2022-03-16. 3.2.1 was released on 2022-02-06.

## Description: The mission of OpenJPA is the creation and maintenance of software related to JPA: Object Relational Mapping for Java ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Project Activity: We finished our JakartaEE9 migration and also implemented a big task by moving away from the unmaintained sourceforge Serp library to native ObjectWeb ASM. This also increased portability with the latest Java versions. Right now we are preparing a milestone release for OpenJPA-4.0.x ## Community Health: Small but active community. We've had 5 active committers in the last quarter and regular replies on the mailing list. ## Membership Data: Apache OpenJPA was founded 2007-05-16 (15 years ago) There are currently 35 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:5. ## Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Maxim Solodovnik on 2019-04-13. - No new committers. Last addition was Matt Pavlovich on 2019-05-22. Recent releases: 3.2.2 was released on 2022-03-16. 3.2.1 was released on 2022-02-06. 3.2.0 was released on 2021-05-14. 4.0.x in preparation

## Description: The mission of OpenJPA is the creation and maintenance of software related to JPA: Object Relational Mapping for Java ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Project Activity: We are actively working on a native Jakarta-3.1 (and later 4.0) release. Right now we are getting rid of Serp, which is an ancient byte code library which only supports up to Java-1.5. We are replacing it with native ASM code to leverage Java22 and beyond. All the packages have been migrated to the jakarta namespace. ## Community Health: Small but active community. Good feedback cycles. ## Membership Data: Apache OpenJPA was founded 2007-05-16 (15 years ago) There are currently 35 committers and 18 PMC members in this project.

## Description: The mission of OpenJPA is the creation and maintenance of software related to OpenJPA: Object Relational Mapping for Java ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Project Activity: We are now rather confiden to start OpenJPA-4.0 which would target the jakarta namespace natively. Right now we only provide support for jakarta via shading, which is quite tricky to consume. ## Community Health: Small community but I hope that the Jakarta push will revive activity. ## Membership Data: Apache OpenJPA was founded 2007-05-16 (15 years ago) There are currently 35 committers and 18 PMC members in this project.

OpenJPA runs in stand-alone Java SE as well as containers e.g Java EE, Tomcat, Spring or OSGi. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time ## Activity: The last quarter was very active. We got support for HerdDB as contribution plus many other parts. In addition to that we worked on resolving a lot of old tickets and did run our full test suite to most of the databases we do support - subsequently leading to a lot of bug fixes on that side. We are now ramping up for a new release which is expected in the next few weeks ## Health report: People are still around, code is very functional and stable. We try to review old tickets and either resolve or close them. ## PMC changes: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Maxim Solodovnik on 2019-04-13. - No new committers.

We are doing fine still though. ## Community Health: I can only iterate what I explained 2 months ago. Codebase is complex and we keep our eyes open for any new contributors which might pop up. But that's not an easy task.

I hope we'll get this up again and continue working on improving JPA-2.2 compatibility. Otoh there are enough people still active to not worry about activity IF something very urgent pops up. ## Community Health: Yes, we should somehow attract more people. But the codebase is old and stable. And due to the JavaEE/JakartaEE pause right now there is not much action in sight which might attract new developers.

## Activity:
Activity declined a bit after shipping our first JPA-2.2 release.
We have been working on a few fixes and hope to ship the next
bugfix release in the upcoming quarter.

## Activity:
We have been quite active in the last quarter.
We worked towards more JPA-2.2 features and have just
shipped a 3.1.0 release.
There also has been quite some interaction with contributors who reported
bugs. The JPA TCK is now theoretically available via the JakartaEE project
but we did not yet have a chance to test against it. This is on our
list for the next few months. While doing this we will also figure
the rest of the missing JPA-2.2 functionality.
## Health report:
Contributions are fine and the community activity is also quite ok.
Ofc could be way better, but we are fine given how old the project is!

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
Moving to GIT got us some more traffic. We also started adding Maven
profiles to start up various databases via Docker. This heavily
simplifies contributing to different database dictionaries.
We also had a discussion about what our 3.0.x line currently supports.
We are right now a little bit in a limbo between JPA-2.0 and 2.2 due
to not having had access to the JPA TCK. We hope this will soon
become better as the JPA TCK is now freely available via JakartaEE.
It is a lot work to adopt though, so we expect this to take up some
months.
## Health report:
Community is ok. I hope we get some bigger changes done due to the
move to GIT. We've re-added Craig as PMC member as he got lost somehow
in Whimsy. We are also discussing about 2 new PMC members.

We also got 2 releases done. So while dev activity is mediocre
we still have plenty of community.
## Health report:
Community is doing fine. We finally shipped our first 3.0.0
release (target=JPA-2.2). We did not yet implement all features
but it's really good to use already.

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
Could be more. Much more. Otoh we got a few patches recently.
Mainly smallish patches, but also some bigger ASM contribution
and Java9/10/11 stuff.
We are preparing to ship OpenJPA-2.4.3.
And after that I hope to finally finish OpenJPA-3.0.0.
## Health report:
Maintenance going on. And patches get applied.
Attention could be higher of course.

ASF project. I hope we gain a bit speed as the other parts are now
mostly finished.
## Health report:

We don't have any TCK for it but that doesn't stop us. We got a few new contributors which we observe as committer candidates. We discussed the option to release 3.0.0 milestones starting with the end of this month. ## Health report: We have a few people involved in maintaining the older 2.2.x branches and a few who help us with the JPA-2.1 tasks.

We discussed how to proceed with JPA-2.1 but did not yet find time to polish the work done in the jpa-2.1 feature branch. After we cleaned up the trunk docs some community members do a great job bringing back the docs for the older OpenJPA versions (went broken somehow). ## Health report: We managed to get Francesco as a new committer.

We also reworked our page build bots and added documentation. Mark Struberg got appointed as new PMC chair and we like to thank Pinaki Poddar for his service over the last few years! ## Health report: OpenJPA is a 'mature' codebase and many parts are stable and needs lots of knowledge if you touch them.

Besides the always swelling EE7 TCK issue which prevents us from verifying comatility with JPA-2.1. ## Activity: There is quite some maintenance activity on the 2.x branch which is targetting the JPA-2.0 specification. JPA-2.1 work is still not taking off as we are still hoping to finally get the TCK for EE7. We could go on implementing JPA-2.1 features and ignore all those bloody JCP hassles. We already have quite a few of those features in place in a branch. ## Health report: OpenJPA is a 'mature' codebase and many parts are stable and needs lots of knowledge if you touch them. Thus it's rather hard to get up and running. We tried to modernise the structure a bit (moving from Junit3 to 4) but that's really just the tip of the iceberg. ## PMC changes: - Currently 14 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Heath Thomann on Tue Jun 30 2015 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 30 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Romain Manni-Bucau at Tue Jun 02 2015 ## Releases: - Last release was 2.4.0 on 2015-04-19 - We are currently voting on 2.4.1 ## Mailing list activity: - users@openjpa.apache.org: - 255 subscribers (up 4 in the last 3 months): - 42 emails sent to list (38 in previous quarter) - dev@openjpa.apache.org: - 131 subscribers (up 2 in the last 3 months): - 113 emails sent to list (86 in previous quarter) ## JIRA activity: - 18 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 7 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

Apache OpenJPA is a persistent object management kernel for databases, relational as well as non-relational . For relational databases, OpenJPA is compliant to industry-standard Java Persistence Architecture (JPA) version 2.0 version. OpenJPA runs in stand-alone JSE as well as containers e.g JEE, Tomcat, Spring or OSGi. == Community == OpenJPA developers had developed a general-purpose, robust software for Object-Relational Mapping. They also ensured its stability and backward compatibility across many released versions. OpenJPA has a significant user base and many users have migrated their persistence provider to OpenJPA. Current OpenJPA developers actively maintain the code base as well as support the user community via the mailing list and the code service streams. However, developer resource is shrinking as many senior developers are not active and new volunteers are hard to come by as new development opportunities are rare and hard to incorporate for a matured code base. We hope that the Board members may be able to share their experience on how to re-energize a matured project in its maintenance phase. == Recent Work == At this phase, the software defects are few but reported defects have been resolved [1] in timely fashion.

== Summary == Apache OpenJPA is a persistent object management kernel for relational and non-relational databases. For relational database, OpenJPA provides persistence for Plain Old Java Object (POJO). OpenJPA is compliant to industry-standard Java Persistence Architecture (JPA) version 2.0 version and runs in stand-alone JSE as well as JEE containers and many other lightweight frameworks, such as Tomcat, TomEE, Spring or OSGi. == Community == OpenJPA developers had, over past several years, not only developed a general-purpose, stable software for complex Object-Relational Mapping but also ensured its stability across many released versions. OpenJPA has a solid user base and many have migrated their persistence provider to OpenJPA from more well-known provider in the past. Current OpenJPA developer/committers actively maintain the code base as well as support via the mailing list users and the code service streams. However, developer resource is shrinking as many senior committers are not active and new volunteers are hard to come by as new development opportunities are rare and hard to incorporate. Also lack of strong corporate interest/sponsorship is affecting future growth/expansion of the community. PMC members are exploring how to invigorate the project. We hope that the Board members may be able to share their experience on how to re-energize a matured project in its maintenance phase of life. == Recent Work == OpenJPA development team member Jody Grassel has upgraded Serp bytecode library to version 1.15 for Java 8 language features (e.g. lambda expression) and integrated OpenJPA with the upgrade. As OpenJPA natively uses bytecode enhancement, supporting Java 8 has more than usual impact on OpenJPA. Many requests have been received for upgrade to JPA 2.1 compliance. Prototype work for supporting JPA 2.1 features such as Store Procedure support has started. == Issues == One of the nightly builds (2.3.1) artifact is missing [1] in the repository. The issue is likely to be an infrastructure issue and is being tracked by [2] [1] https://repository.apache.org/snapshots/org/apache/openjpa/apache-openjpa/2.3.1-SNAPSHOT/ [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2537

There are no items requiring board attention at this time. Highlights OpenJPA 2.1.0 was released in February 2011. Trademark and branding policy Thanks to Ravi Palacherla who volunteered to migrate our web presence from Confluence to Apache CMS. The migration is underway. The conversion to .mdtext and then to .html worked well for most of the pages. But there are few confluence macros that are not converted to mdtext. These are being converted manually. The trademarks will be updated as part of the conversion process. Community No new committers nor new PMC members were added this quarter. Mailing lists continue to be very active, with close to 230 messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 150 messages per month on the users alias. OpenJPA email subscriptions are stable at approximately 140 subscribers to dev and 230 to users. We accepted a code donation from a project that started at codehaus for openjpa-maven-plugin. We are working with a Google Summer of Code proposer on a project to improve the xml metadata handling of overrides of annotations. Governance We continue to monitor contributors for possible committers and committers for PMC members. Releases OpenJPA 2.1.0 was released in February 2011.
There are no items requiring board attention at this time. Highlights The OpenJPA web presence was evaluated with regard to the trademark and branding requirements. Most of the requirements are already met, with the exception of direct "sponsor", "thanks", and "security" links. There are links to the Apache sponsor, thanks, and security pages but these are linked by the OpenJPA sponsor, thanks, and security pages. The trickiest issue is that OpenJPA is introduced as "a Java persistence project" which is a noun, not an adjective. This will need to be changed to "The Apache OpenJPA project is a Java persistence project". We have identified a volunteer to migrate the existing Confluence-based web tool to the Apache CMS, and the changes with regard to trademark and branding will be done concurrent with the migration. Community A new JSR for JPA was just posted to the JCP web site. http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=338 The terms of the sample TCK appear to be similar to the previous versions which are acceptable for use by Apache projects. New committers were voted into the project: Jody Grassel and Heath Thomann. Mailing lists continue to be very active, with close to 230 messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 110 messages per month on the users alias. OpenJPA email subscriptions are stable at approximately 150 subscribers to dev and 240 to users. Governance We continue to monitor contributors for possible committers and committers for PMC members. Releases A branch 2.1.x has been created in preparation for a maintenance release 2.1 early in 2011.
Question: How can we be sure that the proposed TCK license is ok? AI Sam: discuss on legal-discuss
There are no items requiring board attention at this time. Highlights OpenJPA made two maintenance releases: 1.0.4 and 2.0.1. OpenJPA has decided to stop support of JRE 1.5 starting with 2.1.0, so the last release that supports 1.5 would be the 2.0.x series. Community We're implementing a plan to give more users write access to the wiki to encourage contributions. The hope is that contributors to the wiki will become committers over time. Mailing lists continue to be very active, with an average of close to 250 messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 150 messages per month on the users alias. OpenJPA continues to experience a modest increase in email subscriptions and activity. There are about 150 subscribers to dev and over 240 to users. Governance There have been no changes to the committer or PMC rosters; a vote is underway for a new committer. We continue to monitor contributors for possible committers and committers for PMC members. Releases The project released OpenJPA 1.0.4 which implements JSR 220, and OpenJPA 2.0.1, which implements JSR 317.
There are no items requiring board attention at this time. Highlights OpenJPA has published its implementation of the latest JPA 2.0 JSR-317, which is in final release status. As reported earlier, the release occurred just after the April board meeting. We finally got around to defining OpenJPA's DOAP file. The results: http://projects.apache.org/projects/openjpa.html Community Mailing lists continue to be very active, with an average of close to 250 messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 200 messages per month on the users alias.

Highlights OpenJPA is preparing to publish its implementation of the latest JPA 2.0 JSR-317, which is in final release status. The OpenJPA release is 2.0.0. There were some last minute changes that will require another spin of the release. So the release will probably occur the week of the board meeting. Community Mailing lists continue to be very active, with an average of close to 350 messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 200 messages per month on the users alias. OpenJPA continues to experience a modest increase in email subscriptions and activity. There are over 150 subscribers to dev and over 230 to users. OpenJPA voted in two new committers, Dianne Richards and Ravi Palacherla. Governance The OpenJPA PMC voted in a new member, Rick Curtis. We continue to monitor contributors for possible committers and committers for PMC members. Releases Several milestones of OpenJPA 2.0.0 have been released.
Highlights OpenJPA is wrapping up implementation of the latest JPA 2.0 JSR-317, which is in final release status. A maintenance revision, OpenJPA 1.2.2 has been released.

Releases A maintenance revision, OpenJPA 1.2.2 has been released.
Highlights OpenJPA continues to implement the latest JPA 2.0 JSR-317, which is in Proposed Final Draft 2 status. The latest draft was issued 08-October-2009 and is very close to what will be voted upon as the final release. The Field Of Use restriction in the draft specification was resolved with Geir's help, and an interim release of the problematic API was published. A release of OpenJPA 2.0.0 Milestone 3 has been posted for download. This release is based on the Proposed Final Draft 2 of JSR-317. Community Rick Curtis and Tim McConnell were offered, and they accepted, committer status on the project. Mailing lists continue to be very active, with an average of close to 400 messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 250 messages per month on the users alias. OpenJPA continues to experience a modest increase in email subscriptions and activity. There are over 150 subscribers to dev and over 230 to users. The community voted to adopt a logo for OpenJPA.

Releases OpenJPA 2.0.0 Milestone 3 has been posted for download.
Highlights OpenJPA continues to implement the latest JPA 2.0 JSR-317, which is in Proposed Final Draft status. The latest draft was issued 13-March-2009 and contains several very large changes that will keep the project busy for another few months. Additionally, the spec has continued to evolve after the publication of the PFD. OpenJPA still has a Field Of Use problem with the draft JPA 2.0 specification license. The license contains language restricting distribution of the early implementation of JSR-317. The way we read this is that OpenJPA will be unable to offer an early release of OpenJPA that supports JPA 2.0 until and unless 2.(iii) is amended to remove the clause "is made available for testing and evaluation purposes only". This issue was raised with Geir Magnusson, Apache VP, JCP on February 3, 2009, and is still unresolved. Community Donald Woods was offered, and he accepted, committer status on the project. Mailing lists continue to be very active, with an average of close to 500 messages per month on the dev alias and approximately 250 messages per month on the users alias. OpenJPA continues to experience a modest increase in email subscriptions and activity. There are over 150 subscribers to dev and over 225 to users. A vote is underway for a logo for OpenJPA, with 15 entries. Information here: http://cwiki.apache.org/openjpa/logo-contest.html A vote to change the maximum line length for source files resulted in allowing 120 character lines. We do bike sheds too. The community is working well together. Questions from the community are answered promptly, often resulting in a JIRA being filed.

Greg: Geir: can you address the license issue in your JCP report?
Jim, Shane: +1 for Geir to have something "on the record"
Roy: that is probably just the PFD license (it is always limited)
Geir: that is the draft license, but we've fixed it in the past (w/ JSF for example.) In this case, I did one more cage rattling and Sun has apologized and promised a fax of what I wanted signed by someone of sufficient paygrade to change the draft license in this case in a binding way. What could go wrong with a signed document?

Highlights: OpenJPA continues to work toward its first release as a TLP, to be called OpenJPA 1.0.0. A few release candidates have been built and the release is imminent. There are no board issues at the moment. Community: A public face-to-face meeting was held August 6 and 7, hosted by BEA in San Jose. The meeting was advertised on the Apache party alias in addition to the openjpa dev alias. The gathering was well- attended, with 12 OpenJPA folks physically together, another 4 dialing in via conference call, and one invited outside speaker. The results of the meeting were posted to the OpenJPA wiki at http://openjpa.apache.org/openjpa-up-close-and-personal.html Many discussion topics resulted in action items to be taken to the dev and user aliases for community consensus.

Highlights OpenJPA continues to work toward its first release as a TLP, to be called OpenJPA 1.0.0. There are currently 46 open issues that have been identified as "close before 1.0.0". Community The users@openjpa.apache.org mailing list was started upon graduation and already has over 100 posts, from 16 unique non-committer posters. A public face-to-face meeting is being discussed for sometime this summer in the bay area. We're hoping that the planning date is far enough out that many interested folks can join. We've invited Bill Pugh (FindBugs) to give us a presentation. Governance Release naming policy for the first release has been resolved. David Ezzio was voted as a new committer (and new to Apache). The PMC continues to track contributors with an eye toward making them committers.
Concerns were expressed about the openness of the F2F. Geir will continue to watch, and he noted that he feels that the PMC and chair have things well in hand.
Typo was noted in report. "bull pugh" should be "bill pugh".

PMC review: noel OpenJPA made good progress this quarter in all areas. The project has many active committers all driving toward improving functionality, stability, performance, and usability. OpenJPA has met all of the technical requirements for graduation from incubation, and is now waiting for the community to feel ready. It is not clear whether the destination should be a TLP or a sub-project of another. This discussion has not been started yet. Well, I guess it just has. Development Development continues on the 0.9.7 release, which will contain many bug fixes and performance improvements. Kevin Sutter has been volunteered to cut the release once we decide there is enough done on the list. The JSR 220 TCK was passed. JIRA now contains numerous proposed bug fixes and feature enhancements, tentatively assigned to release buckets. Infrastructure The project is running smoothly with all systems green. Community One new committer was added (Michael Dick). Three new PPMC members were added (Kevin Sutter, Marc Prud'hommeaux, and Abe White). ----
OpenJPA made good progress this quarter. The community completed its first release (0.9.6) under guidance from the Incubator PMC and the Mentors. This took a couple of attempts and was a good learning experience for all involved. Two new committers were added (Bryan Noll and Srinivasa Segu). The project has completed requisite IP clearance steps and updated its status / website. Now, the focus is on growing and diversifying the community.
The code arrived this quarter, and that helped the community as there's now something to discuss. :) The initial code drop emerged from BEA and is now actively being worked on. There have been community discussions on new features, documentation, and release numbering. The community decided to use cwiki and adding documentation for the project. The community added two new committers (Kevin Sutter and David Wisneski) who are actively committing code to the tree. We are currently working with the Spring community to address integration issues and to ensure that OpenJPA plugs into a Spring persistence container environment appropriately. Work is also ongoing to build user-focused release downloads and to integrate with the Apache continuous-integration facilities. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenEJB We've just heard from Matt who's a release manager for Apache Geronimo 1.1.1 that the last reason to keep OpenEJB at Codehaus had been cleared and we're ready to move JIRA and repos to ASF. Three new people have showed their interest in the code and started to contribute - Mohammed Nour, Rick McGuire and Jay D. McHugh. SVN as successfully been moved from Codehaus to Apache. Jira migration is being coordinated. This will be a migration to a new instance in ASF similar to Cayenne. However, we'd really like to run in the main instance. To facilitate this, work on a Jira migration tool is also underway. We hope that this will be useful to other projects migrating or whom have migrated. --- October Report In the recent period, there was a lot of sound and fury related to committer lists, specifically related to CFX, and how a project is bootstrapped in general. On the former, I've spoken at length with many of the parties involved, and feel that it was a combination of misunderstandings, overreactions and aggressive attitudes, but lacking in mal-intent on any party. On the general case, we have discussed revised processes to make bootstrapping more defined and clarified, and should formally adopt them this month. We're also in the process of voting on Harmony's request to graduate from the Incubator. Some controversy around that due to two issues. First, is a pro-forma "release" really necessary and useful in all cases or sometimes just theater, as is claimed for this case? Second, the vote is being held on harmony-dev@, and some people feel that all such votes must be held only on general@. Projects have included their start date and one line description at the Board's request. Please note that this has always been available at http://incubator.apache.org/projects/. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agila Entered incubation in February 2005. Workflow engine Nothing new on Agila for quite a while. All activity has been transfered to Ode. The Jakarta PMC has voted to retire the project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AltRMI Entered the Incubator in Feb, 2003 Remote Procedure Call support No activity, and the Incubator PMC should vote to render it dormant. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CXF Project name - CXF Description - SOA enabling framework, web services toolkit (Celtix and XFire merge) Date of entry - August, 2006 Top three items to resolve - 1) Diversity - Active commiters are 90% IONA people 2) Growth of community - related to diversity, we have not yet had the opportunity to add additional commiters. The traffic on the dev list is "steady." 3) Demonstrations of apache processes - working on a milestone 1 release, etc... Community aspects: Jason van Zyl resigned as Mentor. We have three other mentors, but may be bringing a forth on board. Setup two "spaces" on confluence to hold developer docs (and the project home page) and user docs. We'd like to encourage more people to help out there. Voted to start deploying periodic SNAPSHOTS to the maven2 snapshot repository to help other projects like yoko, geronimo, servicemix, etc... take dependencies on and integrate CXF Voted to officially name the project CXF instead of CeltiXfire PPMC setup and functioning, process started to get other non-active commiters more involved. Have reached out to Geronimo folks to help "pick their brains" about the required features for better JCA support. Started working with the Yoko project to get them to update from using Celtix to CXF. Code aspects: Getting close to finalizing the code for milestone 1. Most required features are now working. Some performance testing was done. Some performance problems were identified and fixed. Working on defining what the final kits will look like. (what is included, what the user is expected to already have, etc...) Started discussing some architectural changes, especially in regard to the tooling, for after milestone 1. Licensing: Had some discussion at ApacheCon about the rhino/js jars that are NPL and what to do with them. Still somewhat unresolved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Felix July 2005 OSGi implementation Community Proper wiki/web page created by Marcel Offermans and Ronald Spierenburg. Manuel Santillan, Jose L. Ruiz, and Juan C. Duenas added as committers for their work with JMX and OSGi (i.e., JMood). Didier Donsez added as a committer for his long-time work around OSGi and Felix. Software Contribution of the JMood project for another approach to JMX/OSGi integration from Manuel Santillan, Jose L. Ruiz, and Juan C. Duenas. Contribution of extensive set of example code from Didier Donsez. Contribution of log service implementation from Dale Peakall. Major framework enhancements to the Felix framework around security from Karl Pauls. Specification compliance improvements for the framework around native library loading by Arnaud Quiblier and Richard Hall. Work on implementing the framework resolver algorithm using a generic capability/requirement model was committed into Richard Hall's sandbox; work continues on try to modify this new resolver to support require-bundle. Continued enhancements to iPOJO from Clement Escoffier. Work on a Maven-based testing harness for Felix by Alex Karasulu. Licensing and other issues Attempt for gradution was post-poned to concentrate on creating a release that addresses any and all outstanding obstacles for release. Removed javax.microedition.io dependency for the time being until a proper licensed version is available from the OSGi Alliance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- FtpServer March 2003 FTP server Lack of community is the major problem. Development on FtpServer is slowly progressing. Currently the focus is mostly on filling the gaps when it comes to automatic testing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Graffito Graffito is a framework for content-based applications, especially in portlet environments. Graffito entered incubation on September 20, 2004. Top three items to resolve before graduation: Upgrade to the latest license header and copyright notice policy Create an incubating Graffito release Move the JCR mapping component to the Jackrabbit project Graffito activity has increased noticeably since the last report, especially due to interest from within the Jackrabbit community. New bug reports and patches are also being contributed. Jukka Zitting was voted in as a new mentor for the project. He will accompany Raphael Luta in that role. Given positive feedback from both communities, we are evaluating options for moving the JCR mapping component from Graffito into the Jackrabbit project. This would expose the component to a wider JCR developer community and a larger audience of potential users. There has been renewed discussion on producing incubating releases of the Graffito components Edgar Poce has been working on a related JCR-based wysiwyg portlet prototype, using the Graffito mailing list for design discussions, but the implementation approach differs from the Graffito portlet model, so at least for now the tool is not being integrated into Graffito
