Jira has many open items that need to be completed for release 2.1. Some of the more major ones are:

Docbook

Completing the transition of the documentation to docbook, and figuring out workarounds for all the parts of that process which are not quite working.

Rewrite of a few Eclipse modules

We have a few modules in the Eclipse tooling that are written as derivative works of Eclipse source files. Because of this, the source for these cannot be distributed by Apache under the Apache 2.0 license. These modules need to be rewritten using more standard Eclipse APIs instead of being derivative works of Eclipse source.

Tooling to support the Apache namespace movement

...

• (To be listed - what these changes might be)

UIMA Framework improvements - future

Redo socket support to use Java NIO primitives

Earlier studies showed some performance gains are possible.

Improve multi-threading support

Includes better design for interruptability, figuring out what can be used from Java 1.5 (we want to remain 1.4 compatibile, though).

Improved Design for parallelism

Something that substitutes other open source infrastructure code (such as ActiveMQ) for custom code, and moves toward adoption of major standards (like Java's JMS, JMX).

Something that improves performance.
