[Dev] Aiming for TestMaker 5.0 release

[Frank Cohen]

Hi Luis Carlos and William:


> A good amount of bugs and features are in the track system!

Yes, that's both good and bad. The good is that we're tracking them  
and working through them. The bad is that it can make a developer  
hyperventilate at what is left to do to ship TM 5.0.

In reality, we have very few changes to make to ship 5.0.

Overall, here are the top issues:

1) Replace Tomcat with Jetty. This is solely to let us ship the JRE  
1.6 to run Jetty because Tomcat 5 does not run with JRE and requires  
the full JDK. We won't ship the JDK with TestMaker because of the  
file size.

2) Remove JSR 223 ScriptEngine for running Jython scripts. We will  
fix this later with the 223 community's support. And we can still run  
JRuby and the other script engines.

3) I need to finish the docs: Developer Guide, DPL examples,  
screencasts.

4) I need to bring some of the TM 4.4 enhancements into TM 5 (tickets  
8, 9)

5) Performance Comparison Utility 1.1. We can even ship with 1.0.

The http://bugs.pushtotest.com/report/1 is update and in the order of  
priority. From my perspective, everything after ticket 70 may be  
postponed until TestMaker 5.1.

Thanks for everyone's hard work on TestMaker 5. We are very close now  
to shipping 5.0!
