Re: [jakarta.ee-community] Thoughts on JakartaEE
|
Actually I guess that might change with Jakarta EE because it should not take 2 or 3 years any more between Jakarta EE updates even if it is only some spec.
Cen,
absolutely. I also consider Jakarta EE 8 as the stable base, the "boring OS" with less frequent releases.
For me MicroProfile is the reflection of current e.g. CNCF, also upcoming, standards with faster release cadence.
So far, I always used them together,

Seeing how successful MP has been so far, I wouldn't merge the projects but collaboration between projects to make specs more interop is welcome. Duplicating specs for roughly the same things would be the major fail.

I am not sure people would switch massively to JakartaEE for any reason but I do know existing developers will probably stay if platform feels alive which was not the case for the past few years. As an existing user I am more concerned about the state of some important reference implementations with long standing bugs which are an annoyance in day-to-day work. Looking at bugs.eclipse.org - Eclipselink for example screams of abandonware although now that all projects are on github contributing is thankfully much easier. I already had some positive experience contributing to upstream RI so that's feels good.
