jPOS-EE Tip and Tail

REQUIRED ACTIONS

If you already have a local copy of jPOS-EE (master or next), please note there are REQUIRED ACTIONS at the end of this blog post.

Following the same branch model we adopted for jPOS last December, jPOS-EE is now aligned with JEP-14 — The Tip & Tail Model of Library Development.

The rename is straightforward:

• The next branch (jPOS-EE 3.x) becomes main — the tip, where active development happens.
• The master branch (jPOS-EE 2.x) becomes tail — the stable series, receiving only critical fixes.

REQUIRED ACTIONS

On your existing next branch:

git branch -m next main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main
git remote set-head origin -a

On your existing master branch:

git branch -m master tail
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/tail tail
