This group could provide a wiki page specifying shortly the development process. First input was

• Most of the technical discussions are done on the jonas-team@objectweb.org mailing list
• Specification are published on the project wiki (currently the JOnAS wiki)
• Detailed workplan is published on the wiki
• Developers are working on the SVN repository and provide associated unit tests which are added to the tests suite
• Maven 2
• use JIRA as project management software tool (already available at forge.ow2.jira)
• use the IRC or jabber.objectweb.org
• Fisheye (to browse SVN/CVS)
• Continuous integration: have to choose among cruise control, continuum (maven2), bamboo (atlassian), hudson
• Docbook for doc, xmlmind
• Misc tools: pmd, findbugs, checkstyle

As there are issues with network connection between Europe and China (too slow), we need to investigate Maven 2 mirroring solutions (at least for binaries).

\ Donggang Cao has been visiting the Bull JOnAS team during one week in Grenoble, in April 2007, and choices about the development tools have been consolidated. \
Zongfu Liu has been visiting the Bull JOnAS team from early May 2007 to end of July 2007, and has set up the Bamboo based JOnAS continuous integration framework.
