2.0.0-M3

This is a major milestone release that "re-platforms" Apache Isis so that it now runs on top of Spring Boot.

  • A new convenience parent pom builds on top of Spring Boot’s similar parent pom, to make it easy to develop new apps, along with simplified "mavendeps" pom’s.

  • The Maven archetypes have been replaced with Starter Apps in github repos.

  • Configuration properties have been refactored, and can now be specified (with intellisense hints) using Spring’s application.properties or application.yml

The core framework has been trimmed down, with testing functionality (eg fixture scripts) moving to a new top level "testing" group. Other new groups have been introduced: "value-types", "subdomains", (bounded context) "mapping", "extensions", "incubator", "legacy".

This milestone also introduces a number of new features:

Improvements:

  • Integration test support, and BDD (Cucumber) "spec" support have been refactored to run on Spring Boot with Junit 5.

  • New demo app to demonstrate new features.

  • New smoketest app to catch regressions

  • The maven plugin has been retired, replaced by utility classes that can be used within integration tests.

  • There are no longer any split packages, and Maven groupId/artifactIds have been rationalized.

The website has been updated to use Antora.
