Issues
Testing
Here's how you can help us test the distribution prior to a vote.
Download a the distribution assemblies:
Configure a <repository> for Maven 2:
<repository> <id>myfaces-114-staging</id> <name>Apache MyFaces Core 1.1.4 Staging Repository</name> <url>http://people.apache.org/builds/myfaces/core-1.1.4/m2-staging-repository</url> </repository>
And declare dependencies on the 1.1.4 artifacts:
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId> <artifactId>myfaces-api</artifactId> <version>1.1.4</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId> <artifactId>myfaces-impl</artifactId> <version>1.1.4</version> </dependency>
Note: Maven 2.0.4 will not download a new version if one is already present in your local repository. You will need to delete $M2_REPO/org/apache/myfaces/core to force Maven to download the new version. (Usually, $M2_REPO is <your home directory>/.m2/repository .)
Then, let us know the results (good or bad!) on dev at myfaces.apache.org. (You must be subscribed to post. See: http://myfaces.apache.org/mail-lists.html.)
JIRA
- Add a new version to the core project 1.1.4
- Do a bulk change for all resolved issues with version fixed as 1.1.4-SNAPSHOT and change to 1.1.4
- Do a bulk change for all resolved (but not closed) in 1.1.4 and close them
- Archive the 1.1.4-SNAPSHOT version
