Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] Core profile as its own top level org
This is generally the feedback we get from customers, old and new to the space. Truth be told, the Jakarta EE/MicroProfile segmentation is already cause for a lot of confusion. Core Profile is an obvious need in evolving the space. There is also no harm in having faster Core Profile only releases and independent specification releases. It’s best to not further segment unless there is truly a compelling need (which I currently honestly do not see). If anything, a path towards gradual brand convergence would be best (though that is clearly not pragmatic right now).

I understand some folks believe Jakarta EE has a brand perception issue. I tend to think it’s an issue that can be mitigated through consistent delivery, jettisoning truly damaged brands like EJB, serious innovation in implementations beyond the specifications as well as persistent, high quality marketing/advocacy.

At any rate, my main point is that maybe we should focus on delivering more high quality releases right now instead of more restructuring/reshuffling/renaming/regrouping that’s likely to get in the way of delivery and add to an already very confusing landscape that maybe actually helps no one.

Hi, 

To an outsider and an end user all this sounds very confusing. Too much of everything usually makes management harder.
Perhaps it is better not to mix MP and Jakarta. Keep MP what it is, an independent(aside APIs of course) extension to Jakarta.

I would say another Working Group is a bad idea as it is another load of bureaucracy, charter, committee and fees. A separate project under Jakarta EE makes more sense to me i.e. splitting the current platform project.

I really like the idea of a separate entity/working group for core profile.

That would also solve the ambiguity around CDI lite that exists today, and a separation of the CDI specs which is really needed. Since CDI lite is not a separate spec, nor has a separate API (which means you have one API where some classes/methods that don't need to be supported in the runtime) which will lead to confusion, exceptions during runtime (since methods might not be implemented), etc ...
I means we can also remove _expression_ language from the profile since that is only required for CDI full (not supported for CDI lite)

Hi,

 

Sorry I missed the call today, but that diagram/idea for Core Profile would sound about right leaving aside the Core Profile now includes „CDI Light“.

 

Kind Regards,

Betreff: [jakartaee-platform-dev] Core profile as its own top level org

 

Hi,

 

During the platform call we very briefly touched on the core profile being the intersection between Jakarta EE and MicroProfile, but since it's part of Jakarta EE that relation is somewhat unclear.

 

We had on the table at one point a discussion of making "core profile" (we didn't have the name back then) its own top level working group (org/entity):

 

 

Maybe we can revisit this idea again.

 

Kind regards,

Arjan Tijms
