[AppFuse] New Committers and 1.8 Status This morning, Nathan and I invited Ben Gill and Sanjiv Jivan to join us as Developers on AppFuse. Both of these guys have been answering a lot of questions on the mailing list, submitting patches, and documenting things on the wiki. In my opinion, developers that write documentation and help other users are the most valuable. Ben and Sanjiv have agreed to join the project - welcome aboard guys!

In AppFuse 1.8 news, I'm almost there, but not quite. I did a whole slew of refactoring to the Ant build process so that macrodefs replaced many targets, and imports are now used where appropriate. I saw a drastic improvement in execution time after doing the macrodef conversion. The reason I didn't release last week is because I got caught up in refactoring some things to make it possible to run JUnit tests in both Eclipse and IDEA. The good news is I got it all working - the bad news is it screwed up a number of the extras/* install tests. If I can't fix everything in a couple more hours of work, I'll likely back out my changes and simply document the process. I anticipate I have (realistically) 8 hours of work left before a final release. I'm still hopeful I can have it done this week. Posted in Java at Apr 26 2005, 04:31:33 PM MDT Add a Comment
