AppFuse 2.0 - late 2006

• JDK 5, Annotations and JSP 2.0
• Maven 2 integration while (hopefully) continuing to support Ant. Ideally, we could use Maven to generate Ant files. However, the Maven Ant Plugin has quite a few issues that need to be fixed first.
• Support for JDK 1.4 using something like Retroweaver.
• Replace Struts with Struts Action 2 (a.k.a. WebWork) and remove extras/webwork.
• Support for using AppFuse as a library.
• Support for creating a new project using AppFuse as an archetype (from Maven).
• Replace AppGen with a solution that's not based on XDoclet. Hopefully annotations can be read and used, possibly using something like Greenbox.

AppFuse 2.1 - early 2007

• Search using Compass.
• Pageable lists that only fetch a specified number of records (i.e. 10 at a time).

Future

• (Possibly) Add a Swing client that can talk to at least one of the above frameworks (if not all).
• (Possibly) Add a Laszlo front-end.
• (Possibly) Add Wicket as a supported web framework.
• Change from using Canoo WebTest to using Selenium for UI testing.
• What others would like to see

Various Ideas - don't know if we'll use them
