[wtp-releng] Status of "release candidate" build

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought I owed everyone an explanation
for the odd/breaking builds today. 
(that I caused). 

I switched to use the javax.wsdl 1.4
 bundle from orbit, in place of our org.wsdl 1.4 bundle 
in WTP. Should have been easy to do
(all the same code ... just bundled slightly differently). 

The "forbidden access" problems
were due to this pesky javax.xml.namespace.QName class, which has 
always been a bit fragile, and I don't
think still quite fixed right ... but, getting close. 
See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=186903
The problem is that there are 4 distinct
versions of QName in our "stack" ... and it's nearly 
random which you get ... well .. .has
been nearly random, now a little less so  :) 

Also, Valentin helped me track down
a cause for the wsdl validation junit failures, which had to do 
with me moving the wsdl schemas out
of the wsdl plugin. I have moved them to the 
wst.standard.schemas plugin (and forgot
to actually release the changes I made). 

That leaves 2 failing WS JUnits. 
And one failing JSF failing JUnit. 

I suspect, though, the build is now
worth "final testing" for this weeks declaration of our RC0.


Please use care to only release the
most important fixes for regressions or blocking defects. 
(and, yes ... I know that includes me
:(
