Re: [jakarta.ee-community] Guidelines for the use of existing Oracle/JCP Acronyms
Ah ok so that's for within the specification. OK. I was worried about slides really :D

Emmanuel -

The guidance says that for names of Jakarta EE projects, specifications, test suites, and other related materials, the full project name/title and any scope statement should not incorporate an identified acronym.  So the name "Jakarta Message Service Specification" is OK, and I expect that is the name that will be used for this spec.

We're assuming that within documents, and in repo names, URLs, package names, the default preference will be to re-use an existing acronym.  For example, we're assuming the default preference would be to use the acronym "JMS" for Jakarta Message Service within the body of spec docs, and in repo names, URLs and package names.   The details are spelled out in the guideline document, but the guidelines are intended to enable that usage if it is clear where the technology is originating from (Oracle/JCP or Eclipse/Jakarta EE).

Is there any recommended acronym generator algorithm ? e.g. Jakarta Messaging Service Specification -> XxXX

Hello -

The Jakarta EE Working Group Steering Committee has unanimously approved
the following "Guidelines for the use of existing Oracle/JCP Acronyms"
posted at:

https://jakarta.ee/legal/acronym_guidelines/

As stated in the document, the goal of these guidelines is to avoid
confusion and ensure that the developer community can easily identify
whether a Jakarta EE project, specification, test suite, or other
related item originates from Oracle/JCP or from the Eclipse/Jakarta EE
process.  The guidelines apply to use of Oracle/JCP acronyms in names of
Jakarta EE projects, specifications, test suites, and other related
materials, such as project repositories, URLs, and package names.  We
will use these guidelines in creation of Jakarta EE 8 artifacts and in
subsequent versions of Jakarta EE.

Thanks

Will
