NetBeans 6.1 REST Support Engineering Plan

This is the NetBeans 6.1 engineering plan for RESTful web services support. It is broken up into milestone 1 and milestone 2. Note that this plan is meant to give an overall view and schedule while the details will be entered as issues in Issuezilla.

Here is the umbrella issue: 122918

Milestone 1 (1/21/2008)

Factor in the holidays, this is a very short release cycle. Therefore, we will tackle features that are relatively easy to implement. If time permits, we will also work on milestone 2 features during this time frame to give more time to work on harder features. Here is the table showing the task, date, owner, and IZ numbers.

*Task*	*Priority*	*Date*	*Owner*	*IZ Number*	*Comment*
Swith to Jersey version 0.5	P1	01/02/08	Nam Nguyen	122919
Client generation from WADL	P2	01/10/08-01/15/08	Ayub Khan	122923
Improve Test Client to support subresources	P2	01/02/08-01/09/08	Ayub Khan	123412

Note that will be doing prep-work for the SAS support during milestone 1 which include creating demo applications calling the different SAS services with goal of figuring out commonalities among them so we can generate code for them.

Milestone 2 (3/03/2008)

*Task*	*Priority*	*Date*	*Owner*	*IZ Number*	*Comment*
Switch to Jersey version 0.6	P1	TBD	Nam Nguyen	122920

Enhance Web Services Manager to support non-wsdl based services	P2	TBD	Nam Nguyen	123413

FCS (before JavaOne 5/6-5/9 2008)

We will decide on whether to add any new features during this time frame, but for now, we will use this time for bug fixing, etc.
