| [ee4j-pmc] Jakarta EE Specification names and scope statements |
Based on the request from the Jakarta EE Specification Committee, the EE4J PMC is reaching out to everyone involved in the EE4J projects.
The work with defining the Jakarta EE specification names and scope statements has been going on for a couple of months. The tracking can be found here:
https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-ee4j/projects/11
https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-ee4j/projects/10
We will need the proposed project names and scope statements by June 7/2019. Please close the related issue when the project team has come to a conclusion. For those scope statements that are not complete by the deadline, the PMC will create the names and statements on behalf of the projects.
The lack of activity on the request for help with the name change and creating of scope statements is a major concern for the EE4J PMC. A consequence may be that we will have to revisit the composition of the unresponsive projects.
The Jakarta EE 8 release is very much dependant on the specification names and scope statements changes. To plan out the release schedule and the release date we need to ensure this work is completed in order to engage in the Release review.
These are the specifications where there is no or little, progress regarding scope statements:
Common Annotations
Concurrency Utilities
EJB
Enterprise Security
_expression_ Language
Interceptors
JACC
JASPIC
JAX-WS
JCA
JAX-B
JSTL
JTA
Stable APIs
Platform Management
Platform Application Deployment
XML Registries
JAX-RPC
Enterprise Web Services
