[Jwebunit-development] Re: Release is a success?

[James E W. <JEW...@th...>]

Hi,

I would say so, and thanks very much for making it happen.  Thanks to all
the contributors as well; they had to wait a pretty long time ;-).  It's
really nice to have some help.  Wilkes and I were both pretty played out on
jWebUnit - it definitely needed you.

Some progress should be made on the fit plugin over the next two to three
weeks - I plan to use it on a project, so have a billable excuse for doing
the work ;-).  I'm leaning towards releasing the fit plugin as a separate
package on the jWebUnit site, once it's in good shape and I've gotten some
help with the legal issues (Ward's fit is GPL, jWebUnit is BSD).

This should dovetail with the work Nick is doing.  He is heading us towards
support for an alternate engine to httpUnit behind the jWebUnit API, and
the fit plugin is an alternate means to interact with the jWebUnit API.
Swappable front-ends, back-ends, the API for interaction and assertions in
common.

And of course there are yet more patches, bug reports, and feature requests
in the queue for us to sort through....

Thanks again,

Jim W.
