Bill, et al,
Question: Do you think we can realistically answer this question
without knowing what the Jakarta EE release cadence and timing is
going to be? And since we are quite a ways away from knowing that
release cadence, perhaps we could defer this decision until that
time?
I *think* the Steering Committee has already decided that the very
first release of Jakarta EE will be numbered as "8". I think that
is enough to go on for at least the next six months, is it not?
That said, I think that the discussion has been valuable. There's
lots of good ideas and information in this thread.

I think we've been using "8" or "8.0" as an informal way of
indicating that it will be compatible with Java EE 8, but I think
we should make an explicit decision about how to do version
numbering for Jakarta EE once we have the right group in place to
make that decision. I'm not clear on whether that would be the
Steering Committee, the Specification Committee, or the Jakarta EE
Platform project.
Once we're clear on who gets to make the decision, I see three
obvious choices:
- Continue the Java EE version numbering approach with Jakarta
EE X being based on Java SE X, for all values
of X. With the new rapid release cycles of Java SE,
that might mean skipping some version numbers to allow Jakarta
EE to stay in sync with Java SE.
- Start with Jakarta EE 8 and increment the version number for
each release, making a separate and explicit decision as to
what version of Java SE to base each release on.
- Since so much of Jakarta EE is a break from the past, start
over with Jakarta EE 1, incrementing the version number for
each release.
Independently of the above is the decision of whether or not to
use minor version numbers, and if so for what purpose.

Hi everybody,
So far, we had agreed that the first
version of Jakarta EE should technologically be
conform to the state of Java EE 8 technologies and
no further additions should be added. Is this
still the plan? And if we so, what version number
should we use for this initial version of Jakarta
EE? Currently, I was thinking it will be Jakarta
1.0. But, in the email conversion Jakarta 8.0
appeared as well.
Best Regards,
Alex
