Re: [ee4j-pmc] Project/Specification dependencies

Sure, but the mere existence of this draft is a very good sign!

I'll reiterate that this is a work-in-progress. It's not quite yet suitable for framing.

Thanks for this great work Wayne! I'm sure it will be pretty useful for people to understand the relationship between the different parts.

I've been experimenting with using a graph to understand the relationships between the projects, I started capturing the relationships between the EE4J projects and specifications and came up with the attached image.

The process of building this was a useful exercise for me to get a little more familiar with the projects.

It's incomplete. Specs, projects, and relationships are missing. I'm presenting this here as a proof of concept.

Dotted boxes represent specifications. Round rectangle nodes are projects that maintain the specifications (e.g Eclipse Project for Stable Jakarta EE Specifications "maintains" a bunch of different specifications). Round rectangle nodes with thick lines are are projects that implement specifications (or otherwise implement stuff, like Eclipse Grizzly).

This may be better represented as UML, but I decided to go with a simple digraph for now.

I'm using Graphviz/dot, and have done nothing to try and influence the layout.

I may be trying to accomplish too much with a single diagram.

It may be more useful to capture these relationships with some kind of more general metadata. I decided to just use Graphviz notation to capture the relationships for now since I could do so quickly. We can maybe convert this to a different format later if we decide that it makes sense.

Does this (or something like this) seem useful?

If it seems useful, I'll put the dot file into our repository so that I can accept pull requests :-)
