Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] Release Candidate APIs vs Milestone APIs

["Kevin Sutter" <sutter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Based on the lack
of negative comments, I'm going to ahead with lazy consensus and allow
Milestone APIs as well as Release Candidate APIs.  All Projects should
continue to strive for Release Candidate APIs in Maven, but if your Project
has a Milestone API in Maven with all of your javax->jakarta namespace
changes, then please indicate it's availability via a Notecard in the "Release
Candidate" column:
https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-ee4j/projects/17#column-7346435

Thanks for the
discussion!

I'll update the
help text for this column shortly...

Yes, I think that is fine.

What do others think of this suggestion?  Basically, if a Project
declares a Milestone API artifact as being "Release Candidate"
equivalent, is that sufficient to allow continued progress.  With
our goal of having all of the APIs available by Feb 14 (just over two weeks
away), we may need to modify this RC requirement.  As long as this
"blessed" Milestone driver is available in Maven Central, are
we good?
