<li>Not yet scheduled (comments are welcome):
<ul>
<li>SVG =&gt; need to talk to Xinjie Zhang who has shown interest in SVG.
Could be an interesting topic as an alternative to Flex
(announcement of <a href="http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=29545">Flex version 1.5</a>
and announcement of <a href="http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=28246">Flex Builder (IDE for Flex)</a>.
According to
<a href="http://www.macromedia.com/software/flex/whitepapers/pdf/flex15_tech_wp.pdf">this</a> technical paper:
<i>Flex developers use an extensible library of UI components and an XML tagbased
language to define the user interface and an object-oriented scripting
language (ActionScript) to handle procedural logic.</i>)</li>
<li>XSLT =&gt; limited noise, up to now, about an XSLT editor in WTP, not yet scheduled </li>
<li>WSIL (that belongs to the 'web services' area) =&gt; the above schedule is limited to UDDI registry</li>
<li>WSDL documentation generator</li>
<li>WebDAV</li>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Call for comments:
<ul>
<li>O/R mapping tool item is in M5. Different O/R mapping strategies exist and different Java targets for mapping (EJB, POJO).
I think a generic tool could be enabled. Anyway, I want to hear more technical people on that item.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Implicit items to explicit:
<ul>
<li>Item: a view for the management of the servers =&gt; I think it as implicitely included in M1-M3. Where ? To confirm.</li>
<li>Item: JAR, WAR, EAR packaging =&gt; I think it as implicitely included in M1-M3. Where = 'flexible project layout'. To confirm.</li>
<li>To explicit (!?) in milestones: deployment mode on servers (unit test mode, local mode, remote mode)</li>
