Hi,
Let's try not to mix things together.
Eclipse JNoSQL is not under EE4J or Jakarta EE, so let's keep that out of this discussion and leave it to the project and the Technology PMC.
For Jakarta NoSQL (the specification project):
- Milestones, alphas, betas can be releases as frequently as the project wants without any review
- For a final release, you MUST go through a release review and a ballot in the Specification Committee
- For a final release to pass, you MUST have a spec/api + tck AND a compatible implementation (in this case Eclipse JNoSQL)
- A specification project must either release or go through a progress review every year (similar to a renewal ballot in the JCP).
Since it has been a year since your creation review, you have two options:
Option 1: Release Review
Choose this option if you are ready for a release within a reasonable time?. Let's say a month or so. Remember that you need a TCK and a compatible implementation that passes the TCK.
Option 2: Progress Review
Choose this option if you are NOT ready to release within a month.
Start this process by notifying the PMC on the PMC mailing list with some statement about your progress.
Hope this helps!
