------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------

Switching from Maven-1 to Maven-2 gets closer - we can now build the website from Maven-2. Next we need to look at how we would do a release under Maven-2 and whether it passes our requirements.

+ Key:
+ Inactive - No activity, no one watching it. Candidate for dormancy.
+ Maintenance - No activity, someone watching it.

''Attributes''

- Dormant - however the last release had an issue so a new release ideally needs to be done.

''!BeanUtils''

- Inactive. A 1.8.0 release is slowly being worked on. Struts were a major user, however they've moved on to using OGNL in their new version, so the drive for a !BeanUtils release is much lower than it has been previously.

''Betwixt''

- Jus
+ Just had a 0.8 release and currently actively maintained.

''Chain''

+ Maintenance. Used by a few projects (including Shale) and
+ libraries, but not widespread. Limited in scope due to awkard support for
+ conditional processing, so not likely to be aggressively enhanced.
+
''CLI''

Inactive. A 2.x version was close to release many years ago but then the interested committers stopped committing. The 1.x version had reached the end of its shelf-life, and though there are users of the 2.x version no one has shown interest in releasing it.

''Codec''

+ Maintenance. A few enhancements in JIRA, but nothing major to work on.
+
''Collections''

+ Maintenance. Some work started on a JDK 1.5 version in the sandbox a few months back.
+
''Configuration''

+ Active.
+
''Daemon''

+ Active.
+
''DBCP''

Active. A 1.2.2 release is coming soon.

''!DbUtils''

- Inactive. A 1.1 release was made, and there really aren't that many interesting issues to work on for a 1.2 release.
+ Maintenance. A 1.1 release was made, and there really aren't that many interesting issues to work on for a 1.2 release.

''Digester''

- Inactive. There are no bugs in JIRA, and no significant enhancement requests; everyone seems content with the current release.

''EL''

+ Inactive. Its main use was in Tomcat, and it's not used in their latest Tomcat 6.

''Email''

Activity has restarted here and there may be a 1.1 release if it continues.

''IO''

- Active. A 1.3 release has been made. Mostly this was a case of adding new functionality (some from the Sandbox Finder component) and fixing some bugs. There's no activity on a 1.4 yet, but I'm sure there will be.
+ Active. A 1.3 release has been made. Mostly this was a case of adding new functionality (some from the Sandbox Finder component) and fixing some bugs. There was a screwup (method wasn't static as desired) so a 1.3.1 is being worked on. There's no activity on a 1.4 yet, but I'm sure there will be.

''Jelly''

+ Not much activity - still in widespread use due to Maven-1, but this is fading. Another notable user is JIRA who use it as their scripting language.
+
''Jexl''

+ Jexl gets a little bit of development here and there and has been reasonably stable recently. We keep threatening to start Jexl 2.
+
''JXPath''

Version 1.2 has been the "current" release of this library for over two years, which is testament to the overall stability of the code. There have been a number of issues closed since 1.2 was released, however, so a 1.3 release seems to be in the near future. After this it will probably be appropriate to categorize JXPath as being in maintenance mode: a new committer (Matt Benson) has stepped up to act as its curator.

Actively working to get 2.3 out the door.

''Launcher''

+ Inactive (2 years since a notable commit). A user did recently ask if he could help, but it's likely this is destined for dormancy.

''Logging''

''Math''

''Modeler''

+ Maintenance. Dims organized a release back in July, since then one issue has been fixed.

''Net''

+ Actively working on a 2.0 release.

''Pool''

Following a bugfix release, a rethink things a bit 2.0 release is in the medium term planning.

''Primitives''

+ Inactive.

''SCXML''

On 19th of December version 0.6 of Commons SCXML was released. This version included notable improvements towards processing of XML namespaces in SCXML documents, custom Commons SCXML actions for defining domain-specific vocabularies and Java serializability of the model and executor instances. Commons SCXML is now also used to drive an implementation of Shale dialogs (starting version 1.0.4 of the Shale framework).

''Transaction''

''Validator''

+ Maintenance. Some parts are being/have been redesigned by Niall Pemberton.

''VFS''

+ Active and working on releases.
