[Embedlets-dev] New release up.....as promised.

[Andrzej J. T. <an...@ch...>]

Hi all:

Just posted the next release versions in the releases CVS directory as 
follows:

embedlet_004.zip
outpost_004.zip
outhouse_002.zip

New features include:

- ContainerEnabled & ComponentEnabled interfaces (for Chris)
- Timer Service is now operational
- Synchronous Event sending now supported
- aJile and TINI builds for the Outhouse sample application
- Lots more....check out the history.html file for details.
- Check out the devnotes.txt files if you plan to make any mods.

I have also populated the CVS repository with the source code, in three new 
modules, called:  embedlet, outpost and outhouse respectively.  Since these 
three "pieces" are independent of each other from a source perspective 
(though Outpost does need embedlet.jar, and Outhouse needs embedlet.jar and 
outhouse.jar), I decided to keep the source trees in separate modules, to 
allow for better parallel development of the Embedlet Spec, Outpost Container 
RI and Outhouse sample application. All the source files (java source, ant 
XML scripts, readme's, etc.) are now under source code control, as I had 
promised to do before the weekend was out.  This initial population of the 
CVS repository has been tagged with the tag "Initial", as have the three new 
release zip files above (since they correspond with the initially populated 
source code base).

All those list members that are authorized "developers" on the project can 
now check out, modify and check back in revised versions of the source code.

Since Jalopy is not yet up to the task of enforcing our coding standards, 
please make a special effort to conform to the posted standards when making 
any modifications to the source code base.  

Please also create/include JUnit test cases for any significant new 
functionality that you add, so that we can ensure that the Embedlet "product" 
is always of the highest quality standard.

I'm off to Hartford, CT tomorrow night, and with my laptop not yet repaired 
(waiting for an LCD replacement part which is not in stock yet), my posts may 
be rather infrequent till next weekend, though I may get webmail access at 
some point.  What that means, in real terms, is that I'll stop monopolizing 
the list, and let some other people run with things for a while. <grins>

Remember.....the more feedback/suggestions/questions that you post, the 
better the Embedlet spec, Outpost RI and Outhouse sample application will be 
in the long run.

Enjoy the new stuff.
