Re: [jakarta.ee-community] Bintray JCenter (and MavenCentral) download s

[Werner Keil <werner.keil@xxxxxxxxx>]

Reza,

That's a good idea, thanks. 

It is only for the new Jakarta specs. 

At least my logged in view did not show certain artifacts like Spring, JodaTime etc that were around for a while. 

I did not check the likes of Dropwizard or Micronaut, etc. either, but I guess it allows to compare those that are used with Maven quite well. 

Also a good sign for adopters like in today's call. Either to show most popular artifacts that can use help or those that may not be so widely used because they lack progress or  stability. 

It certainly shows which ones are more popular because REST nearly got 1 Mio downloads only for the new namespace while others are hardly used. 

Cheers, 

Werner

Werner,

I am redirecting your email to the Jakarta EE Ambassadors alias as I believe it will get the right level of attention it deserves there.

This is really good information. I think it is worth the effort to pull all the data for all the new Jakarta artifacts and write a blog entry. If you don't want to write it, maybe you could collaborate with someone else?

A couple of suggestions: I would make sure to mention that this is preliminary data since most people probably haven't upgraded to Jakarta EE 8 just yet. I recommend leaving out MicroProfile from any write up or analysis until the core leadership of MicroProfile asks for such a thing - unless of course there is a specific valuable, good faith learning you are trying to understand about MicroProfile.

What are your thoughts?

Hi,

Since Bintray and JCenter introduced a new UI every newer artifact (including mirrors of MavenCentral I am pretty sure) now shows the total downloads, even if the artifact does not expose the stats explicitly.

As we made the download figures for JSRs like 363 and 385 available ever since, I know this number is the lifetime downloads for a particular artifact.

Just checking two MicroProfile APIs,

MP Config API https://bintray.com/beta/#/bintray/jcenter/org.eclipse.microprofile.config:microprofile-config-api?tab=overview

says 150848 downloads.

While e.g. MP Reactive Messaging API https://bintray.com/beta/#/bintray/jcenter/org.eclipse.microprofile.reactive.messaging:microprofile-reactive-messaging-api?tab=overview 

says only 384 downloads.

Taking for example Jakarta Rest API  https://bintray.com/beta/#/bintray/jcenter/jakarta.ws.rs:jakarta.ws.rs-api?tab=overview

says 805423 downloads. 

Only under the new Jakarta groupId, that of course also includes the usage by MicroProfile ;-)

I'm not sure, if JFrog made those numbers available via API unless you pay or subscribe something, but maybe if a former colleague asks those who now work there, e.g. Steven Chin there could be ways to make it available, or Eclipse Foundation might ask for it to display on certain project pages.
