It was told by Oracle multiple times that all existing specifications may keep using the existing package names if they just publish new versions. New version != new specifications. No implication of leaving the JCP. -Markus From: ee4j-community-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ee4j-community-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Guillermo González de Agüero Sent: Freitag, 1. Dezember 2017 12:13 To: EE4J community discussions Subject: Re: [ee4j-community] JCP and existing specs Given how much they have insisted that new specs will need a different package name and not using the Java word in any way I assumed the idea was not to use the JCP. I'd be glad to be wrong. I just explained that one minute ago. De-Facto the EE4J PMC has no other choice, as no other organization right now and in near future is able or legally allowed to *standardize* (= provide an official norm) anything in the Java universe due to Oracles trademark rights. Yes, the PMC can say "EE4J is a standard" but this is not an *official* Java standard then; it would simply be an Eclipse product, not more. Neither can the PMC do anything against it if the JCP EC decides to say "EE4J is hereby officially standardized as Java EE 9". -Markus To: EE4J community discussions Subject: Re: [ee4j-community] JCP and existing specs
It hasn’t been declared as far as I can recall and I’m on the EE4J PMC :) Where has this been declared? It certainly is not defined in the https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j/charter, and frankly flies in the face of moving things to Eclipse.

The EE4J PMC multiply explained that future versions of existing specs will be developed at the Eclipse Foundation, but *will* be standardized still through the JCP. -Markus Hello, Guillermo. "Does it mean existing specs will need to be continued on the JCP after the Eclipse donation?" My understanding is that this means that there might be Maintenance Releases of these JSRs fixing bugs or updating the JCP version, for example. New versions of the Java EE / EE4J Specs would *not* be done thru the JCP. _______________________________________________ ee4j-community mailing list ee4j-community@xxxxxxxxxxx To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from this list, visit https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/ee4j-community
