Hi, 

First, a message to all the specification project leads:
You are strongly encouraged to join this mailing list:

We are on a tight schedule to get the Jakarta EE specifications ready for the Jakarta EE 8 Release. I am in the process of creating GitHub issues in the projects that will be followed up here: https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-ee4j/projects/15

If you don't have an issue created for you yet, please feel free to create an issue titled "Prepare Jakarta XXX for the Jakarta EE 8 Release" with the following content in your issue tracker:
-----
### Instructions

- [ ] Update text files

Should we be doing something about acronym usage within the Java source files too.
For example:
a. @Since doclets such as https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jta-api/blob/EE4J_8/src/main/java/javax/transaction/Transactional.java#L55 where we reference JTA 1.2 - personally I think that is fine as it is factual
b. Reference to old acronyms to describe the behaviours in the javadocs. For instance "JTA transaction" in https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jta-api/blob/EE4J_8/src/main/java/javax/transaction/Transactional.java#L77 could be changed to "Jakarta Transactions transaction"

I think b) is probably covered by https://jakarta.ee/legal/acronym_guidelines/ and should be changed

It is still not clear to be if a) is right to leave or not. Maybe I should change it from:
@Since JTA 1.2 to @Since Java Transaction API(A trademark of Oracle) API 1.2 or something like that?


- [ ] Generate "boilerplate" specification project
- [ ] Make a staging release

As part of the release to staging should we be updating the groupId and artifactIds to reflect the outcome of the naming decision. In the Jakarta Transactions case that would mean a change  jakarta.transaction:jakarta-transaction-api to jakarta.transactions:jakarta-transaction-api to reflect the decision here https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jta-api/issues/36#issuecomment-499446887


Thanks!
- [ ] Generate Stand-alone TCK test results
- [ ] Submit tests for ballot
- [ ] Release to Maven Central

See [here](https://wiki.eclipse.org/How_to_Prepare_API_Projects_to_Jakarta_EE_8_Release) for detailed instructions.
------

All the above need to be done by July 15 in order to follow the plan for the Jakarta EE 8 Release.

Ivar
