| <introduction> |
| <html:div> |
| This document lays out the feature and API set for the |
| second release of the Net4j Signalling Platform |
| Project (Net4j), version 2.0. This project plan inherits from the Modeling |
| Project Plan, which should be referenced when consulting this |
| individual project plan. |
| </html:div> |
| </introduction> |
| <release_deliverables> |
| <html:div> |
| The release deliverables have the same form as is found in most Eclipse projects, namely: |
| <html:ul> |
| <html:li>Net4j Signalling Platform SDK (includes Runtime, UI, DB, Examples, Documentation and Source).</html:li> |
| <html:li>Net4j Signalling Platform Runtime (contains the Net4j core and transport provider plugins, tcp, jvm and http).</html:li> |
| <html:li>Net4j Signalling Platform Examples (contains the general Net4j examples, the buddies collaboration and chat examples and the experimental JMS provider implementation plugins).</html:li> |

| Release milestone occurring at roughly 6 week intervals and follow the |
| Platform milestone releases by approximately 1 week; that is, until the |
| final 3.5 release of the Platform, upon which Net4j and other projects |
| will release simultaneously. Net4j will deliver its milestones within one week of |
| the Eclipse Platform. It is anticipated that Net4j will synchronize its |
| milestones with the Galileo milestone schedule. |

| Net4j will produce maintenance releases to align with the Ganymede SR |
| releases, that includes the Eclipse Platform 3.4.2 release. |
| Net4j may produce interim maintenance releases in addition to these in |
| order to satisfy clients requests. Maintenance releases will only be published |
| if they have any new fixes to offer. |
| <html:ul> |
| <html:li>Friday, October 3, 2008 - Net4j 1.0.1 maintenance release (if necessary)</html:li> |
| <html:li>Friday, February 27, 2009 - Net4j 1.0.2 maintenance release (Ganymede Service Release 2) (if necessary)</html:li> |
| <html:li>A list of issues indicated for the 1.0.x maintenance stream can be found in |
| bugzilla, or by using links on maintenance stream build pages.</html:li> |

| <target_environments> |
| <html:div> |
| In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets reasonably |
| current versions of the underlying operating environments. The Net4j Signalling Platform |
| Project (Net4j) depends upon on the |
| Platform and other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java<html:sup>TM</html:sup>. Net4j |
| will target the same Java version as the CDO Model Repository, which currently requires |
| Java 5. Eclipse Platform SDK 3.5 will be tested and validated on a |
| number of reference platforms. Net4j will be tested and validated |
| against a subset of those listed for the platform. |
| </html:div> |
| <internationalization> |
| <html:div> |
| The Net4j Signalling Platform is a runtime technology with most of the |
| components having no user interface. The remaining user interface |
| parts of Net4j are considered exemplary and thus no attention has been |
| paid to externalize them for internationalization. |
| </html:div> |
| </internationalization> |
| </target_environments> |
| <compatibility_with_previous_releases> |
| <html:div> |
| The 2.0 release of the Net4j Signalling Platform will contain a large set of new |
| functionality and an enhanced API as driven by the community. Therefore Net4j |
| will not be binary compatible with previous releases. Careful attention |
| has been paid to minimize the API related changes and the resulting impact |
| to existing applications based upon Net4j. |
| </html:div> |

| to indicate what major set of functionalities is to be concentrated |

| Major improvements in the API and configuration will give clients considerably more |

| The Net4j project has a proven record of robustness and flexibility. However, |
| in the past best results could only be achieved with EMF models specifically |
| genererated for the usage with Net4j. The upcoming 2.0 release will be less invasive |
| to the client models and applications by being better aligned with EMF and other standards. |

| <description> |
| <html:div> |
| The Net4j project has a proven track record of quality, reliability, and extensibility |
| but all these aspects can be continuously improved. |
| Existing and new clients often desire more functionality from the framework |
| while long established clients generally desire mostly improvements in performance. |
| Often these two are at odds since additional extensibility often has a performance cost |
| and any changes, even performance boosting ones, potentially impact reliability. |
| Every effort will be made to introduce new capabilities |
| so that they have negligible impact on established clients |
| based on the guiding principle: |
| if you don't use it, |
| you don't pay for it. |
| Because service and support has and always will take priority over new development work, |
| development commitments and schedules are subject to arbitrary change, slippage, or even deferral. |
| Be sure to establish direct communication to ensure that any hard commitments |
| are seen as that by the development team itself! |
