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
Deployment
To deploy the api and impl jars, including -sources and -javadocs, to http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository:
cd /path/to/SHARED_2_0_3
mvn install
cd /path/to/CORE_1_1_4

|
