Otavio,
Thanks for the update, especially regarding Red Hat.
One Thing to Keep in mind, while Jakarta EE does not know a „Reference Implementation“, instead it is called „Spec Implementation“, which gives other implementations a slightly better Position, a JSR Needs a RI.
Should Red Had not only be happy to join a potential EG (which given its work with OGM would be very positive) but find consensus on where the RI was best done (Eclipse JNoSQL sounds logical, but of course other alternatives may exist) then it could be appealing.
There still is no EDR for JSR 382. And when I last joined the call (while EG member I have other technological priorities and the call is a bit early in the day) the RI also seemed undecided. With nearly too many candidates like an Eclipse project or 2-3 Apache Projects.
It may have been better to graduate the work at MicroProfile (which happens in parallel so the Project members and Spec Leads feel split between several code bases some of which used in a „production“ Environment and products of several Vendors already) and do it in Jakarta EE in this case judging from what’s going on, but I guess unless the JSR was voluntarily withdrawn it may also be in a Situation like CDI, Bean Validation or a possible NoSQL JSR if created.
If it wasn’t for a Holiday Season, technically there should be a Renewal Ballot 1 for JSR 382, but Maybe you heard more About that in the EC?
Luckily JNoSQL kept a rather low profile (except at conferences ;-) so far when it Comes to production use or inclusion in Commercial products, that could make it easier in either direction.
So if some of the Questions like clarity About a RI can be answered and a „Preproposal“ for a JSR is appreciated by Major Players like Red Hat or Pivotal (see the GitHub tickets) and they may also join an EG, then why not, in this case the chances could be good.
Hey Werner, please remember several points:
- They will have weeks to start to talk about the package name, however, the process still not defined yet.
- The first version of Jakarta EE will release just the Java EE 8
- The Jakarta EE 9 will release one year after the Jakarta EE be released
- The Jakarta EE 9 may not include Eclipse JNoSQL as a spec.
- They can't ignore the project that is already defined as javax.*
- I really would like to move this project forward
- The project is already in Eclipse Foundation.
Yes, I sent an email to the Red hat guys and they would like to join us on this spec.
I’m not sure, if this still makes sense now.
It is only a matter of time, a few weeks now, before a Jakarta EE spec package Namespace is found or voted on. There are not many options.
Having to move back and forth or spread across two packages over time could irritate possible users.
Several committers to Jakarta EE have never contributed to or joined the JCP. Especially now, it is even less likely they would participate or join an EG.
Did you or could you ask e.g. Red Hat, if they would rather support JNoSQL in Projects like Hibernate OGM if it was a JSR than eventually graduating into Jakarta EE from where it is now?
Red Hat also provides key parts of the Jakarta EE platform, that were not contributed to Jakarta EE and there is no sign, it plans to do in the near future.
If the eventual Need to improve CDI or Bean Validation leads to new JSRs for CDI 3 or Bean Validation 3, then and only then I would consider filing a JSR.
Can you ask those at Red Hat in a Position to tell more About it?
Werner
Everyone knows the new process to add new specifications in JakartaEE is not defined and without a date to be defined. We are working on the Eclipse JNoSQL to start the TCK and to support modules to be compliant with Java 9 and above. Therefore, at this moment the project needs either a process like the TCK and also the package definition. As the JakartaEE process is still not ready and JCP is still alive and mature, I would like to move the project forward and submit the JSR. This will allow us to have the "javax.nosql" package just like all the existing specs that I believe won't change the package in JakartaEE.
I would like to study that this weekend.
Thoughts?
