Planning for the next (alpha4?) Java SCA release

Ideas for features that can be in the next release

Kernel

Component implementation

Bindings

DataBinding extensions

[Top down build/packaging]

Does it make sense to finalize the feature list and then figure this out?
For example, decide on which bindings, extensions are in and then build this list.

Here's a list of all the modules currently in the trunk:

Samples

Here's the list of samples currently available. Some need a little bit of cleanup or adjustments to the latest SCDL and API levels, but most of them should be usable if we want to include them in our next release.

Module	Description
calculator	A simple calculator made of SCA components implementing each calculator operation, shows how to implement SCA Java components and assemble them in an SCA composite
loanapplication	Shows the use of callback and conversational services
composite-impl	Shows nested composition, using <implementation.composite> to implement an SCA component
simple-callback	A simple client calling a service with callback
simple-bigbank	A simplified version of the Bigbank scenario from the SCA spec, implemented with Java components, no bindings
supplychain	A supply chain management app (similar to the WS-I supplychain scenario) showing how to invoke SCA components asynchronously
echo-binding	Shows how to extend Tuscany and implement support for a new service binding
echo-databinding	Shows how to extend Tuscany and implement support for a new data binding
bigbank	An implementation of the BigBank scenario from the SCA spec
calculator-ws	The calculator sample with a Web Service binding
helloworld-ws	A helloworld Web service, shows how to provide a Web service using an SCA Web Service binding
helloworld-async	A helloworld Web service with callback, showing how to invoke Web Services asynchronously
helloworld-ws-om	A helloworld Web service, shows how to use Axiom in an SCA component
loanapplication-ws	A version of the loanapplication sample using Web Service bindings (this one is currently broken)
helloworld-jms	A helloworld service using a JMS binding
jsonrpc helloworld	A helloworld service using a JSONRPC binding
script samples?	We have javascript, ruby and groovy helloworld samples, but I'm not sure if they currently work
spring sample?	If we want to include the spring extension in the next release, we probably need a sample as well
web 2.0 sample?	It would be great to have a web 2.0 sample similar to the Tuscany native AlertAggregator sample. We may be able to reuse some of it and try to run it on the Java runtime
