    Description

      Since feature freeze is done for Birt 1.8.x in JBT 4.3.1.Beta2, we have two choices for what to include in JBT 4.3.1.CR1 and .Final:

      a) since nothing important has happened in the 4.3.x branch [1] of jbosstools-birt, we could re-use the 1.8.0.Final bits, which I've just rebuilt [2] from the 4.3.0.Final tag, and published [3].

      b) or we could upversion the 1.8.1.Beta2 bits to 1.8.1.CR1 (and then later to 1.8.1.Final) even though there's functionally nothing new in there beyond what was released in 1.8.0.Final on Sept 24.

      [2] http://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/job/jbosstools-birt_4.3.mars.0/lastBuild/console
      [3] http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/mars/stable/updates/core/birt/1.8.0.Final/

      I'm inclined to go with the rebuilt 1.8.0 instead of the needlessly upversioned 1.8.1.

      WDYT?

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
