Re: [jaxrs-dev] Commiters: Please mark ESSENTIAL items for inclusion in Jakarta EE 8
Well, maybe we need to clarify the relationship between the EE4J_8 and the 2.1.1-SNAPSHOT branches a bit more. In both cases we should only accept bugfixes to be merged into these branches. No doubt about that. The term "critical bugfix" is of course up to interpretation. Fixing broken HTML in the API docs or fixing typos could be fine for both branches. But for the EE4J_8 branch Santiago has to decide.

If we keep them separate, it would be interesting to know what version we will release from the EE4J_8 branch. Will it be 2.1.1? This would conflict with the 2.1.1-SNAPSHOT branch. I know that the PMC requires us to keep the EE4J_8 branch and I'm fine with doing so. I just feels weird to have a separate 2.1.1-SNAPSHOT branch which is actually the same thing: A branch for bugfixes of JAX-RS 2.1.

Depends on an organizational clarification:

 

(A) Does the PMC allow uncritical bug fixes in their intended release basing ong EE4J_8?

 

(B) If not, do we want want multiple bug fix release (critical ones [branch currently named "EE4J_8" with version in POM set to 2.1.1] first, then uncrititical ones [branch currently named "2.1.1" with version in POM increased from 2.1.1 to 2.1.2])?

 

If the PMC allows uncritical bugs, we could add all existing bug fixes, so there wouldn't arise the possible need for 2.1.2.

Hey Markus,

 

what about cherry picking a few of the minor corrections to the 2.1.1 branch which are already on master? Like some of the javadoc fixes (this and this)?

Commiters,

 

work on Jakarte EE 8 is in progress and as you know the PMC asked all subprojects to provide a release with a feature set resembling Java EE 8 plus critical fixes.

 

For our project, this means to release JAX-RS 2.1.1 rather soon, so we need to know what is missing as of today. Santiago is already working on the TCK and I have set up a nightly build infrastructure, so everybody with a bit of free time is invited to participate:

 

I'd like to kindly ask all committers to help with the triage, as there are 172 open issues as of now, and it is a lot of work to read and understand all of them just to learn that the issues are possibly not essential. Please check these open issues and if you are convinced that it is a critical bug, please move it to the milestone 2.2.1. And yes, please do that NOW so we have enough time to actually fix them before Jakarte EE 8 is getting published... :-)

 

Thanks

 

BTW, certainly everybody -including contributors- is invited to also fix bugs! :-)
