  • Thread-topic: [DISCUSS] Introduce "favored specification" concept to Platform specification

I mentioned this idea at the platform project call yesterday, 2023-08-08. I had also mentioned it in this email to platform-dev, where I cast my vote regarding MVC. Ivar has also mentioned the idea in platform-732. In all three places, the concept is the same, so I'll use both texts to describe the concept.

 Would it make sense to add a section listing ADJECTIVE TBD specifications?

  • list specifications that could be candidates for inclusion in a future release
  • not the same as optional
  • no requirement to implement
  • no promise that it will be included at any time
  • just for informational purposes (a heads-up if you like)

Microsoft would like to see some text in the platform specification, ideally near or in the existing "6.1.3 Optional Technologies" section, that introduces a concept of "most favored specification" status (name TBD) and grants this status to MVC. The specifics of this status are also TBD, but the basic idea would be take the opportunity of officially using the Jakarta EE brand to promote other Jakarta EE specs.

 

For discussion I'd like to separate the two aspects of "is this a good idea or not" and "what should we call this thing".

 

I'll reply to my own email with my thoughts on these two aspects.

 

Thanks,

 

Ed
