I really don't want to bother, but from the outside this all looks rather chaotic. I hope at least *someone* (even if nobody knows him) has a comprehensive list of *everything* that gets transferred to the EF, and about each project's actual status. ;-) -Markus From: ee4j-community-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ee4j-community-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ivar Grimstad Sent: Samstag, 7. April 2018 14:55 To: EE4J community discussions Subject: Re: [ee4j-community] Status of JPA migration I am under the impression that all the Java EE 8 technologies will be transferred. And JPA is a part of Java EE 8, so I don't know why it shouldn't. Regarding the status list, I think the project needs to be created (i.e. get a name) before it appears in the list... Does you answer imply that this project will definitively be transferred to the EF? Then I'd like to propose that the status page is updated now so at least people see what will come in future. :-) -Markus Hi,

AFAIK in case of JPA there has been no standalone spec-provided API for quite long time with reasoning behind that that "the API is implementation specific and should be provided by vendors/spec implementations" - in case of EclipseLink the repo with API is one of the repositories managed by eclipselink project.
Well, that's not entirely correct. There is a JPA API (https://github.com/javaee/jpa-spec), but it has not been transferred to Eclipse yet. I guess that is why it is missing from the list. As soon as the project has been created, it will appear there.

I believe that it has been clearly communicated by others that specs and TCK's as such are being/will be handled separately; these have never been part of EclipseLink, nor managed by it.
