Re: [jaxrs-dev] [External] : Re: Jakarta REST 3.1.0

I actually would not love to open this can of worms again.

Jakarta REST seems fine for most, and nobody ever complained that using JAX-RS alternatively did actively bother or confuse him.

Hi,

But I think a short name (like JAX-RS was) needs to flow easily in speech and be at least relatively ubiquitous).  I don’t know if "Jakarta REST" meets this criteria

 

One of the key arguments was to use preferably a single word, so abbreviations and the duplication from short names are avoided.

 

E.g.

 

Jakarta Concurrency

Jakarta Transactions

Jakarta Messaging

Jakarta Security

 

Etc.

 

That way nobody will feel the need to refer to Concurrency as C, or to Transactions as T. As mentioned earlier, the pervasive use of abbreviations is what made Java EE so hard to get into for people.

 

With the current naming for most of the specs we're almost there. Bean Validation should probably become just Validation (so people won't feel the need to write "bv"). And Jakarta REST is still on the TODO list, but we can rename everything to Jakarta REST as long as it doesn't require a PR.

 

Kind regards,

Arjan Tijms
