I too agree profiles are a very valuable concept and goes
extremely well with the notion of ground-up modularity. Perhaps
there is a way to mention both concepts together in the charter?

I agree with all comments made in this
discussion...+1.
I am a little surprised that the project charter does not
reference the development and/or support of multiple EE4J
profiles, such as Java EE has today. At this time, one has
the opportunity to choose between using the Java EE web
profile or the full umbrella for a project. Vendors and
cloud/microservices implementations also can be Java EE
compliant with one or both of these profiles. I hope that
EE4J will adopt similar profile model, carrying forward what
is available in Java EE and even building upon it. I had
always hoped that Java EE would branch out into even more
profiles, specifically having one that was geared towards
cloud/microservices, such as MicroProfile. Maybe the idea of
profiles goes away and EE4J just becomes a modular platform,
allowing one to utilize any specifications that are required
for their application?
Just thought it may be helpful to have a bullet point
around multiple profiles somewhere in the charter.
Thanks
