Dear JakartaEE Community and Experts,
I started on slack and was suggested to send to this mailing
list.
Still I hope I am not misplaced here, but I would like to get
in touch for what I have created in my OSS project:
https://m-m-m.github.io/
It might look like yet another Java framework but this is really
a marvellous approach to let Java rock.
Maybe I can find some people here in order to find ways getting
this in a broader direction and potentially brining in some
parts as JEPs, candidates for JakartaEE, etc. or so.
In a nutshell, I have created a universal UI API
using Java Interfaces. Then I created implementations for that
like ui-fx that
allows to run the Frontend using JavaFx on the desktop, or ui-tvm to
cross-compile it to JS or WASM and run it in the browser, also I
am working on ui-android
and there is ui-test
for simple JUnit testing of the UIs without complex mocking but
design for testability.
So with one code-base you can reach all channels.
There are also smaller modules that could be interesting like mmm-marshall that
allows marshalling and unmarshalling to any structured format
such as JSON, YAML, XML, ProtoBuf from one code. Maybe that one
could be the starting point to shape a future JakartaEE Standard
if others agree that the idea is good...
Also there is a minimal but very powerful API like Localizable
that may be a candidate for a JEP to add to a future JDK
version. Currently this is fully implemented in mmm-nls. But JDK
MessageFormat could be extended to ship an implementation
directly with the JDK.
Might all be too much at once and overwhelming or
over-ambitious, but I hope to find people who are interested to
get into discussion for making Java even better :)
Thanks in advance...
Jörg
