| Re: [jaxrs-dev] JAX-RS Kick-Off: Commiters, Start Your Engines! |
Kevin thank you for sharing your thoughts. Actually I know all that and can assure you that my commits will be supportive for Java EE 8 compatibility, not conflicting it. As a former Jersey committer and JCP JAX-RS Expert Group member, and as an individual Eclipse Foundation Member, be assured that I know very well what I do and what the impact is. Regarding CTS, it would be great if the PMC could ask Oracle to provide the JAX-RS TCK as soon as Jersey is passing it (so we know the TCK is error-free in itself). Also it would be great if the PMC could add all JAX-RS committers to the jaxrs-dev mailing list. Apparently neither the EMO nor the project lead did that, and as you say, one cannot add himself. -Markus From: jaxrs-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaxrs-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kevin Sutter Hi Markus, Since I just joined this email list, I don't have the original message to reply to, so here's a link for other readers... Also, this email distribution list is still pretty light... People have to be added explicitly... When I signed up this morning, there were only 3 people on the list. That is probably you, me, and Dmitry... Not a large contingent yet. So, we can't count a lack of responses as non-caring. Have to love your enthusiasm though! But, we probably have to cut back on the throttle a bit... The number one priority of the EE4J project is to ensure we're compatible with Java EE 8. The code that Oracle is contributing to Eclipse needs to pass all of the Java EE 8 compatibility tests, known as the CTS. This test suite is comprised of somewhere around 45,000 tests. So, we need to be careful on what type of changes are being put into the github repository at this point. The move to Eclipse is still new to a few people and we need to wait for a bit more participation before we make too many changes. If there are developers from the old Expert Group that need to subscribe and participate, please encourage them. Eclipse is a very open and welcoming community. It should be very easy for any developer to sign up without issue. I don't have enough background on jax-rs to know whether your commits will affect java ee 8 compliance. I'll let others decide. But, just be aware that we may need to move your changes to another branch, or we may need to cut a separate branch, in order to make progress with Java EE 8. Somebody will definitely reach out to you before that happens though... Thanks for your assistance and understanding, Markus! -- Kevin Sutter Member of EE4J PMC |
