We are getting a number of good bug reports in JIRA now. They are backed by simple test cases which makes them much easier to demonstrate and track down -- thank you to all those who are creating them. For each bug I fix there seems to be another half dozen raised (hey, this feels like a real product already ;-) ) and I assume that they are being found by some test suite that we don't have in the project. Again, these are real bugs, we can and will fix them, but I'd like to ensure that bugs that block people's progress to a project subgoal get higher priority. That brings me to the question of what goals people are trying to achieve with the current classlib. We have a good amount of code in there at the moment, we should be able to tackle some interesting SE apps that have 'modest' requirements on the class library (i.e. we still have big gaps).
I was going to go off on a "world tour" once I got the other stuff squared away and do a laundry list to see what's what.
We know that we can run the Eclipse JDT compiler, quite a bit of Ant, Velocity, ... What else would be a good target to shoot for? Would anyone like to try building and running Felix, or other code that we would have a fighting chance with? I promise to give higher priority to bugs that block running an app.
That's a good idea - list what the bug blocks you from running.... geir
