Re: [jakarta.ee-community] Thoughts on JakartaEE

+1. I like what you wrote Cen. It does matches my perspective as well.

Hi,
After reading a ton of mailing list material and blog posts I'd like
to share some thoughts on JakartaEE.
I use a lot of JavaEE and MP daily and contribute to one of MP
framework implementations.
The javax naming is very unfortunate but won't really be a big problem
for us microservice users since we can update one service at a time.
Other than refactoring costs I don't see anything problematic, I think
application server users will have much more trouble.
MP was the best thing that happened to JavaEE because it allowed us to
take the stable and mature modules from JavaEE and combine them with
modern approaches that were missing in the spec. Seeing how successful
MP has been so far, I wouldn't merge the projects but collaboration
between projects to make specs more interop is welcome. Duplicating
specs for roughly the same things would be the major fail.
I have mixed feelings about JakartaEE adding a ton of new features to
attract new users. While some new features would be welcome, I see the
core modules pretty feature complete. I am not sure people would
switch massively to JakartaEE for any reason but I do know existing
developers will probably stay if platform feels alive which was not
the case for the past few years. As an existing user I am more
concerned about the state of some important reference implementations
with long standing bugs which are an annoyance in day-to-day work.
Looking at bugs.eclipse.org - Eclipselink for example screams of
abandonware although now that all projects are on github contributing
is thankfully much easier. I already had some positive experience
contributing to upstream RI so that's feels good.
Best regards, cen
