Roadmap

GEP Release	Tentative Date	Priority	Function	Notes (per function)
2.1.2	Geronimo 2.1.2 release date plus 1 week	High	JIRA fixes Eclipse 3.3 (Europa) Java 1.5 Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede)	N/A Cannot break existing support for Eclipse 3.3 Cannot break existing support for Java 1.5 Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede prereq includes WTP 3.0 which is why it's not listed separately
		Medium	Integration testsuite enhancements JAX-WS support Deployment plan editor enhancements	Augment Abbot testcases N/A e.g., Content assist, full support for all XML tags, intelligent Geronimo-specific deployment plan wizards
		Low	Removal of geronimo-service.xml support Integrate and package samples and examples	Per Jencks recommendation (see https://issues.apache.org/jfira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-356) Suggestions welcome for samples and examples to ship with GEP
GEP Release	Tentative Date	Priority	Function	Notes (per function)
2.1.3	Geronimo 2.1.3 release date plus 3 days	High	JIRA fixes p2 support	Assuming there will be a Geronimo 2.1.3 release which may not be the case Ganymede's new provisioning system
		Medium	Integration testsuite enhancements Deployment plan editor enhancements Various visual usability enhancements	Augment Abbot testcases e.g., Content assist, full support for all XML tags, intelligent Geronimo-specific deployment plan wizards TBD
		Low	Integrate and package samples and examples	Suggestions welcome for samples and examples to ship with GEP
GEP Release	Tentative Date	Priority	Function	Notes (per function)
2.1.4	Geronimo 2.1.4 release date plus 3 days	High	JIRA fixes p2 support Geronimo custom assembly support	Assuming there will be a Geronimo 2.1.4 release which may not be the case Ganymede's new provisioning system Export a custom assembly by specifying installed applications (i.e. do not require the creation of a plugin). May require server introspection.
		Medium	Integration testsuite enhancements Deployment plan editor enhancements Various visual usability enhancements	Augment Abbot testcases e.g., Content assist, full support for all XML tags, intelligent Geronimo-specific deployment plan wizards TBD
		Low	Integrate and package samples and examples	Suggestions welcome for samples and examples to ship with GEP
GEP Release	Tentative Date	Priority	Function	Notes (per function)
2.2	Geronimo 2.2 release date plus 3 days	High	JIRA fixes Java EE 5 support Remote server support Better integration between the GEP and the server Java 1.6 Geronimo plugin support	N/A Cannot break existing support for Java EE 5 Full gamut of support for remote server(s) -- not just deployment. Must consider: Deployment, synchronization, debugging, monitoring, introspection, profiling, testing, security, firewalls, protocols, multiple servers, remote distribution, etc. Many existing problems along the lines of start/stop/synchronization, etc). See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-337 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-338 N/A Provide capability in GEP to mitigate the development and packaging of plugins for Geronimo (not to be confused with Eclipse plugins)
		Medium	Integration testsuite enhancements Eclipse Data Tools Platform (DTP) related problems Migration tool(s) enhancements	Abbot upgrade List related JIRAs TBD
		Low	Integrate and package samples and examples	Suggestions welcome for samples and examples to ship with GEP
GEP Release	Tentative Date	Priority	Function	Notes (per function)
2.2.1	Geronimo 2.2.1 release date plus 3 days	High	JIRA fixes Better capabilities to import existing projects into Eclipse Integrate IAM Java EE 6 support	N/A The maven-eclipse-plugin is just not sufficient--even it if did support WTP 2.0, which it doesn't Eclipse Integration for Apache Maven project (see http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/iam/) N/A
		Medium	Integration testsuite enhancements OpenJPA support in GEP Application client support in GEP Server introspection Clustering support in GEP	Augment Abbot testcases For example, GEP cannot generate database schema using OpenJPA i.e., Without using a separate command line (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-339) e.g., To discover and import existing resources (database pools, configurations, deployments, services, databases, connectors, plugins, etc...). Some similar work already finished in GEP 2.1.2 for dependencies (see GERONIMODEVTOOLS-414) but still needs to supports others. To support clustering already provide via the Geronimo server
		Low	Integrate and package samples and examples Profiling capabilities	Suggestions welcome for samples and examples to ship with GEP N/A
