I think there are lot's of issues in the issue tracker that could
be tackled, but at this point I am not sure about how to start.
Are the discussions about the big bang namespace change already
over? Is it even possible to add features in such a seemingly
"namespace-change-only" release?
What needs to be done to actually add a feature? Is a PR
containing the spec and API changes enough? I guess a TCK test
would have to be added as well? How is the decision made that a
feature is added?
It would be great if we could illustrate the process with a more
or less simple issue(https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jpa-api/issues/163)
so that people get a feeling for how the specification can be
shaped.
My suggestion is beginning to bootstrap the
discussion here yourself by looking at and prioritizing the
existing issues together. No need to wait for anyone to get that
started.
I have to admit though, I personally don't have
many big ticket gaps in mind for JPA. The specification at this
point feels pretty feature complete. I do know though that there
are smaller scale enhancements that could be prioritized. Some
of those the right end users could probably even implement by
themselves.
The biggest work I think is in DeltaSpike Data. I
personally don't think that is an approach that should be
standardized in JPA yet (too much room for innovation left and
it is very opinionated).
The only big ticket work I see in the future is
non-blocking support. However it is far too early to standardize
that here. That first needs to be sorted out at the Java SE and
database levels.
What do others think?
