AppFuse 1.8 - sometime before Summer 2005

• AppGen improvements to allow running it twice for a POJO. Also will remove hard-coded id and read from @hibernate.id. These improvements will be largely based on this patch from Henry Zhang.
• Replace existing security implementation with the more robust Acegi Security System for Spring.
• Community Building, hopefully add some additional Committers
• Revamp build.xml to use Ant 1.6 features like macrodef and (possibly) imports
• Create an installer using MyJavaPack that can install Ant, AppFuse, MySQL and Tomcat. Basically, give developer's a way to install and start developing with AppFuse in under 5 minutes.

Future

• Add installer for Resin that rebuilds build.xml for Resin instead of Tomcat. There's not much demand for this right now, so I've postponed it.
• (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. I've heard this might be possible with Tapestry or JSF.
• (Really don't want to) Offer Maven as an alternative to building with Ant. This will likely make the IDE integration easier as it's not very good right now.
• What others would like to see

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