JAX-RS 2.1.1 _did not_ add any features due to EF's target to simply repeat the feature set of Java EE 8. In JAX-RS 2.2 (planned for later this year) I have added a complete new API which covers a feature which had been there already existing in Jersey, but was hidden behind a native API. If a package name change is needed, the EMO ("Eclipse Legal") will tell us. Until then, we just keep the package names as-is.

Did you add an entirely new element (interface or other) to the JAX-RS API that wasn’t there before?
The discussion still does not seem complete, but from what I heard so far also in the Spec Committee, if JAX-RS 2.1.1 added an entirely new element under javax.ws.rs, basically anything that would go beyond a simple Maintenance Release (MR) in the JCP, then this new element must be introduced under the new namespace (presumably “jakarta.rs” or “jakarta.ws.rs” for consistency)

Unfortunately this is not the EFs official policy. According to EF president Mike Milinkovic, all EE4J API projects shall NOT force features from vendors, but instead shall only wrap existing features under a common hood. What I did is adding feature to API AND to Jersey parallel, and encouraged other vendors to follow.

Well, from my point of view, the API should add features and force implementors to keep up. If we only ask for a feature from RestEasy, then the whole point of JAX-RS is gone... but I guess that's a neverending discussion.

In fact JAX-RS is just an API, not a product. So unless some implementations (like Jersey, CXF, RestEasy, etc.) already support your wanted feature, it might be a good idea to contribute your wanted feature to one of that products first. This makes it much easier for the vendors to agree to your feature proposal in the API as they do not have to invest their own ressources or at least have a guiding blue print (RI) then.

Hi Mihai,
Just open some issues on https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxrs-api :)
Congratulations!
Maybe a silly question, but how can one propose new features for JAX-RS exactly? I have a few ideas, but absolutely no idea who to talk to/how to propose them officialy.
The JAX-RS committers proudly announce that JAX-RS 2.1.1 is released and publicly available on Maven Central. :-)
