Re: [jakartaee-examples-dev] Volunteering for Jakarta Examples
|
Welcome back to the ecosystem Andy!
I think the Jakarta EE Examples need a major overhaul to be far
more use-case driven much like the Spring Boot starters.
The current format has a certain use, but honestly it is more
helpful to people who are not really newcomers but want to see a
certain feature in action. That said, even that could use serious
help including better readmes and better index pages.
I am happy to brainstorm and contribute to this if you and others
are interested. Maybe we can schedule a call to talk about it?
Lastly, any contribution to Cargo Tracker is most welcome. Here
are the current issues:
https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/cargotracker/issues. I lead that
project.

Greetings,
I'm a long time Java developer and would like to volunteer some
time to J2EE, or Jakarta EE as it is now. I thought I might ease
back into it with some work on examples and/or docs. I've
previously worked with JPA, CDI, and JSF mostly and blogged
quite a bit about it a few years ago (
https://www.andygibson.net/blog/tag/java-ee/).
I've long been an advocate for J2EE and making it accessible
through those blog posts and I'd like to continue that by way of
contributing to the Jakarta projects themselves.
I've had a peek through the examples at
https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-examples
and also at the cargo app. I have had a look at the issues for
the examples project, but most content is getting on for over 2
years old.
My first impressions would be that most of the examples are
minimalist, consisting of a couple of classes showing a
particular feature, which is OK, it shows people just the bits
they need to add to a class to get a feature working. There
isn't much accompanying documentation to describe what that
feature does or how it can be used. I noticed there is an issue
#8 to Describe the JPA examples which might be a good place to
start. Most of those issues don't have much info in them so if
anyone has thoughts on what they should do, let me know.
I'm also wondered whether there is interest in another larger
application which showcases the more modern features of JEE and
Java. It could include documenting the features showing why they
are used as well as how. I'm looking for a bit of a project to
take on, and that might fit the bill, but for now, I can start
by working with some of the existing examples or writing any
missing one.
If you have any thoughts or ideas on where to start, please
chime in!
Cheers,
Andy Gibson
