Re: [jakarta.ee-community] Jakarta EE 8 Specs in PDF
Markus,
Until the rest of the Specifications are contributed to Eclipse (soon, I hear...), why not just update your "front page" (wiki, gh pages, README, whatever) to point at the JCP page for background information?  This could be a temporary stop gap until the Spec source is made available to you.

Also, Bill's comments (and everybody else on the Spec Committee) on the content of the skeletal specifications was to ensure consistency.  If we provided a common template with common, consistent content (project name, scope statement, copyright, license, etc), then Jakarta EE will look and feel like a finished product.  If we let every component do their own thing, then it would just look like a hodge-podge of information and would not provide the professional view that we have.  You may not agree, and that's fine.  But, we were doing this for a reason.  Thanks.

I know that. The question is, how shall the reader of the Jakarte EE 8 spec know?

As Werner said, all the specs are on the JCP web site.  You can find a list of all the specs and links to the JSRs on the Java EE Platform web siteor Oracle's Java EE web site.

Actually it is hard for Jakarte EE 8 spec readers to find the Java EE 8 specs. The reason is that Bill Shannon (IIRC) enforced that existing references form the boilerplate specs to the Java EE specs have to get removed -- so we removed them, at least for JAX-RS. It is rather funny that now you say, people shall read exactly those specs… How shall they locate them?

Arjan is correct.  We have complete Specifications for the Platform, Web Profile, CDI, and Bean Validation.  The rest of the Components have these skeletal specifications and rely on the Javadoc for Jakarta EE 8.  These other Specifications will be filed as they complete their copyright and IP clearances.  We decided it was best to go this route instead of waiting for all of the Component specs to clear.  Appreciate your patience.

I covered some of these process-related items in my "Jakarta for dummEEs" talk yesterday at the JakartaOne Livestream conference.  Replays are available:

Hi,

It's "correct" in the sense that the real spec documents haven't been transferred yet. The current ones that are released (most of them) are just the bare minimum. We call them boilerplate specs.

We expect that sometime in the future the existing Java EE spec documents or a subset of those will be transferred.

Kind regards,
Arjan

Hi!

Specs are available at https://jakarta.ee/specifications/
"Jakarta EE Platform 8" has 242 pages, but "Jakarta Enterprise Beans 3.2" has only 5 pages. Am I missing something? Looking in a wrong place, ... ?

Best regards,
