Out of scope for this release
Minimum resource case (1 engineer)
Description
Installer is stable, so in case of only one engineer available it could be put into high resistance and main attention concentrated in autoupdate bugfixes.
Limited scope
- Drop new features from the plan.
- Only stopper fixes in installer for officially supported platforms
- JDK bundles: Security updates only. Regular updates if time and scope permits.
- Java EE Tools bundle: Mandatory release for 6.8 FCS. Drop/limit 6.7 updates
- Native Packages for 6.7: Ubuntu, Fedora, Open Solaris. Drop preparation for 6.8 packaging.
Risks
- Miss external deadlines in case of conflicting priorities, such us native packages vs. bundles vs. NetBeans milestone at the same date.
