Re: [ee4j-community] IBM supports the move of Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation

Kevin,

 

Thanks for highlighting that. I guess "Open Java EE" at the time was more of a codename now found to be EE4J instead?

 

IBM also leads the Portlet Spec. Which not part of Java EE as such (like MVC or JCache) still makes heavy use. Portlet 3.0 added stronger CDI support or AJAX functionalities to make Portal apps more "reactive". Under the right circumstances such specs and JSRs should be optional add-ons and extensions to a core platform. So some may chose JSF, others MVC and again others (with a few different UI frameworks including JSF) could even require the full functionality of a Portlet container.

 

Portlet Bridge for JSF was btw. The very first JSR that Oracle handed control over to another EG member (Liferay) And in discussions between the Liferay reps and new Spec Leads of the Portlet Bridge with Ivar it also must have acted a bit as an inspiration for doing the same with MVC. Two domino pieces that now caused a chain reaction with all of Java EE.

Hi All,

 

As EE4J starts to happen and project and code starts to move to the Eclipse Foundation it is now time for the community to put their hand up and indicate which areas people can commit expertise and real development hours to drive forward.

 

We've had some initial discussions on where the Payara team can provide the biggest impact. First and foremost we can take on driving forward GlassFish as the reference implementation, providing key development effort to ensure EE4J GlassFish is free of bugs and integrates new and updated specifications for future EE4J releases as well as assisting in setting up the dev and CI environments for passing the TCK. This will also include helping keep a bunch of the dependent sub-projects that are not JSRs up to date including HK2, Grizzly, CORBA, etc. This is a big piece of work where our knowledge of the code base means we can provide a great contribution.

 

In a couple of other areas we can draw and build on the experience and expertise of Arjan Tijms and provide leadership and sustained developer hours to drive forward JSF with Mojarra as well as JSR 375 along with Soteria the RI. Longer term as project teams are drawn up I imagine we will also take on contributing development to many other EE4J projects and maintenance of RIs.

 

All in all this is an exciting and challenging time that needs community developers, vendors, end users and open-source projects to commit real coding time to the future development of EE4J. I hope we can do our bit without being overwhelmed with the volume of work involved. These are our first thoughts and will evolve as everything becomes clearer.

Steve,

 

Many thanks. We are looking forward to Payara's contributions to this

new community!

Having worked with Arjan and his colleague Bauke Scholtz to extend JSF

for several years now, both inside and outside the JCP, I can happily

endorse him for that role.  However, in the spirit of leaving maximum

self determination to the Eclipse Foundation regarding the leadership of

constituent technologies, I must point out that I am aware of at least

one other party that might want take the con on JSF.  I will reach out

to those party(ies) out-of-band and recommend they align behind Arjan,

but point out that the decision really lies with the EE4J Eclipse

leadership.

Subject: [ee4j-community] IBM supports the move of Java EE to the

        Eclipse    Foundation

Hi,

Although I have been active in the various email discussions and voiced my

support at JavaOne this past week, I thought it might be good to post

explicit support of this move and indicate our continued involvement in

the EE4J activities.

 

In case you missed it, IBM announced their support of "Open Java EE" at

our Community Keynote last week at JavaOne:

http://video.oracle.com/detail/videos/most-recent/video/5600375079001/ibm-javaone-keynote-10-5-2017

 

IBM has been an active participant in many of the Java EE expert groups in

the past and we plan to continue to participate in similar "expert groups"

under the Eclipse umbrella.  We have also identified a few key

technologies that we feel are instrumental to the success of Java

microservices -- jax-rs, json-b, json-p, and security.  If the EE4J

community does not produce or nominate leaders for these technologies,

then we would be happy to provide a leadership role.  Regardless, we will

continue to participate in these respective communities (and several

others).

 

And, of course, IBM will continue to lead the Java Batch efforts.  Java

Batch is currently developed and maintained in a github repo under the

Apache v2 license.  Since the main goal of the EE4J effort is to initially

get Java EE to an open-governance model, the focus will be to first get

the Oracle artifacts moved over to EE4J.  Once this process is established

and is moving forward, then we will consider moving Java Batch as well.

Since all of the Java Batch artifacts (including the TCK) are already

Apache v2 licensed, the move to Eclipse is not as urgent or immediate.

 

As many of you know, we have also been very instrumental in the

MicroProfile efforts -- both from a leadership as well as technical

contribution perspectives.  We will continue to drive the MicroProfile

efforts in parallel with the EE4J efforts.  As Ian put it in the video

above, EE4J is moving in next door to MicroProfile.  Once EE4J becomes

established, I'm sure we will need to evaluate the future direction of

MicroProfile.  Do we continue with MicroProfile as the innovative arm of

EE4J?  Or, does it meld under the EE4J umbrella?  We need to take a

wait-and-see view on this direction.  And, that's why we won't sit idle

with the MicroProfile efforts.  We are continuing to define new

specifications for inclusion in future versions of MicroProfile.

 

We look forward to this EE4J effort and will continue to work with both

Eclipse and Oracle (and the other partners) during this process.
