Re: [jakarta.ee-community] Specification acronyms

Thanks everyone for your comments.

I would really appreciate some official statement about this topic from the spec committee and/or EF. It is totally weird that projects start to look for new acronyms (which creates even more confusion for users) although it may not be necessary to do so. IANAL, but if there is to trademark for JAX-RS, I don't see a reason why we shouldn't be allowed to use it in documentation, class names, etc.

Some like "JMS" are not really relevant any more because the projects decided to rebrand it to "Jakarta Messaging" hence any "JMS" trademark whether by Oracle or others do not affect it.
