As a Jakarta EE 11 specification in wave 6, Jakarta Concurrency 3.1’s deadline for component specification release review is April 27, 2024. It might sound like is it still a ways off, but it requires our specification to publish fully
passing TCK results on Java 21 and 17 from a compatible implementation alpha, beta, or GA release with publicly available download, after having pushed a candidate final copy of the specification to staging that can be published upon successful review.
We need to come up with plans for what our compatible implementation is expected to be and line it up with these dates.
In order for Open Liberty to be a compatible implementation for certification of Jakarta Concurrency 3.1, our release process would require a 3.1 RC1 to be created by March 20th, after which the API, specification requirements
(and preferably TCK) must not change. This would allow for the creation of a downloadable beta release that will become available in time to officially pass the TCK and post results by the component specification deadline.
Are there any other implementations that could be candidates to use for certification of 3.1?
I noticed there has been a lot of work in the Concurro implementation. Someone who is working on it would need to let us know how it lines up with the wave 6 component spec release review deadline.
