Discussion will get underway on the Platform Project regarding the CDI ballot that is underway regarding the contents of the CDI EE specification
Ongoing work on and resolve Specification Committee’s process enhancements items including those identified in the Jakarta EE 10 retrospective:
Recommendation: Like MicroProfile, include the EMO Release Review in the Jakarta EE (JESP) Release Review template. Talk to Maria Teresa and do for Jakarta EE what she is doing for MicroProfile to embed the EMO’s CR template
[11/15] Checked in on status, remains in progress.
Add Core Profile to compatible products definition on the JAKARTA EE COMPATIBLE IMPLEMENTATIONS AND COMPATIBLE PRODUCTS page. A PR with the required update was created by Kenji (Thanks!). EF to review and approve the PR. See issue https://github.com/jakartaee/specification-committee/issues/75 and https://github.com/jakartaee/jakarta.ee/pull/1735
DONE
Can optional tests be updated in a Service Release? See the TCK Process 2nd paragraph in How Tests May be Added or Changed in a TCK
Currently this is not a problem (or need) for Jakarta EE, it is however a real situation w/ MicroProfile. Recommendation is to discuss and work out a proposal within the MicroProfile project and keep the Jakarta EE Specification Committee updated.
[11/15] Checked in on status. This was discussed w/ MicroProfile, Jakarta will align w/ MP’s practice of allowing changes to optional tests in a service release. Emily will create PR to update the Jakarta TCK Process.
Merging request from Scott Marlow: specifications/pull/668 + promote the XML Binding TCK 4.0.1
Scott also asked: “ I think that Ivar and previously Scott Stark have been mostly promoting the Specs which has been great but I would like to see others taking turns with the SPEC/TCK promotions in case Ivar is on vacation or busy with something else and a TCK/SPEC promotion needs to be made.”
Ivar explained the necessary steps to do the TCK promotion and ask that committee members check that they have the access/authority to do the promotion. Also see the Spec Committee Operations guide and the mentor checklist
