Re: [jaxrs-dev] [discuss] Releasing JAX-RS API 2.2

[Christian Kaltepoth <christian@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Markus,

I definitely share your frustration regarding the lack of progress. And I also would like to see 2.2 released as soon as possible.

However, in my eyes the 2.1 release was already some kind of pseudo-release as it only contained a placeholder specification document without any content. And I don't think that our first feature release should also be a pseudo-release without a spec document. I'm not even sure if the spec committee would approve such a release.

So my vote goes for cleaning up the spec document which we will get in a few days (there is already a CQ for it and AFAIK we are just waiting for the PMC approval) and release 2.2 with the current feature set AND the specification document.

While preparing my presentation for EclipseCon I noticed that I will give the n-th presentation of the exactly same JAX-RS preview meanwhile. Now that Jakarta EE 8 is published, it would be good if at least I could tell the audience that this is the last show basing on a preview only.

 

Looking at the Milestones tracker in Github it seems that all changes we explicitly planned for JAX-RS 2.2 are actually implemented meanwhile.

 

Looking at the recent discussions we had, it seems NONE of the discussed issues is a REAL showstopper for 2.2, as all of those points had been declared as „To be decided by the JAX-RS committers“. Hence I would vote for immediately releasing of 2.2 „as-is“, and adopt those „side issues“ (like spec PDF, TCK split, etc.) in 2.3 or 3.0 once these actually become are available.

 

So the question to discuss is: Shall we release immediately to make the way free for 2.3 and 3.0, or are there issues that actually MUST be resolved before 2.2?

 

-Markus
