[Fwd: Re: [flex2_builder] XDoclet2 plugin to create AS classes from Java classes]

[Joe Berkovitz]

Hi all,

As you can see from the attached message, there is a lot of interest
from Macromedia (which was just merged with Adobe) in the actionscript
plugin.  So I have a couple of questions for you:

- what is the projected release timeframe for 1.0.3?

- would it be OK if Allurent or Adobe were to check out, build and make
available an interim snapshot distribution so that developers can get
started even before 1.0.3?  Or would it be better to take a 1.0.2
distribution and just add the plugin-actionscript JAR to it, to ensure
that no other plugins are broken?

Thanks...

...joe

Hi Joe,

I am the Adobe Labs Product Manager and I came across your e-mail within
the Flex 2 alpha newsgroup.  People on the Flex product team and my
peers on the Developer Relations team were so impressed with your plugin
that we would like to add it to the Labs Showcase Gallery within the
Labs Wiki.

Do you happen to have a URL that we can link to that provides the
download/build information that you listed in your e-mail?

Excellent !

The plugins could be released this or next week I think - Konstantin
should confirm this. I'm not sure there's been any change on xdoclet
and generama themselves, so these might not need any release.

I guess there's no reason they couldn't build snapshots, as long as
anyone makes it clear that it *is* a snapshot and is thus subject to
changes.

Thanks for the great job and news ;)

Well, Macromedia was always interested in XDoclet.
( they used XD1 inside JRun )

It could be this weekend. Any objections?

XD2 is at the moment on snapshot,   but I think it can
be
frozen as there is nothing pending.


Well, everybody clear to batch release on weekend?
Anybody get complete clean rebuild from top-level?
( plugin-plugin fails tests for me )

Your are there. DO not forget to add yourself to
commits mailing list,
but under your sourceforge email - else I will have to
approve all your commit messages :)
