- udpated to OpenEJB 3.1.1-SNAPSHOT.  Once it looks like we have clean 
tck runs with OpenEJB we need to push for a release.

- related to Axis2

David Jencks indicated it was required that we use 3.5.  Can somebody 
with commit rights on xBean start to push for a release?

- Gianny is going to start a release around 11/29/08.

- David Jencks indicated that we should be able to release a 1.0-EA 
version prior to the spec being final.  Should I start looking into that 
release David or are you planning to do it?

- David Jencks indicated that the spec was complete but we don't yet 
have a tck.  Have you already asked Geir for one or should I?

- Another question for David Jencks ... should I start looking into a 
release of this?

- and another for David Jencks ... are you closer to a decision on if 
this is ready for a release?

- I think Jarek is looking into releasing this as something like 1.0-EA 
given that it is not yet final.

- related to Axis2
