Re: [jpa-dev] What's next for JPA?
|
I am adding a few folks here that could help mentor and kick-start this.
I myself frankly can only guess at this point. However, I would say all
of this is new so starting just about anywhere is fine.
Additional responses below. I have removed extra text for brevity.

I suggest starting by triaging the issues here together.
Are the discussions about the big bang namespace change already over?
There is still some churn but looks like things are very, very slowly
gravitating towards big bang. I believe the community stepping up to
move things forward will accelerate these decisions.
Is it even possible to add features in such a seemingly
"namespace-change-only" release?
Likely not.
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?
Anything that can be done is progress. In order for something to be
considered complete, it likely needs an API change, change in one of the
implementations, a TCK change and a spec document change. They don't all
need to be done by the same people. The project committers and lead
decides if a change will be made - effectively that means all of us
together. Given the state of things, I would say most reasonable changes
should make it in. It is contributing that actually matters.
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.
As long as you have the paperwork set up, I would say there is nothing
stopping you from doing exactly that.
