Jakarta EE Working Group calls - next call Jan 30th
Jakarta EE Spec process and Jakarta EE NoSQL project
based on EFSP v1.0, but not necessarily the same
We will use Jakarta EE NoSQL to test EF Spec Process and do customization if necessary to create Jakarta EE Spec Process.By going through the process with Jakarta EE NoSQL, we will capture notes and evolve a draft of the Jakarta EE Specification Process.
Jakarta EE NoSQL provisioning is next step; we are waiting on :
Board approval of the new IP policy (DONE)
Agreements need to be in place (MCCA and WGPA) for project lead/primary committer (Tomitribe)
Agreements for other committers (being pursued by the EF Membership Team via separate channels).
This is expected around late Q1 2019
The equivalent of a JCP maintenance review needs to be addressed (additional notes Nov 28th)
We need a “Dials and knobs” document (possibly an FAQ) that details how a Working Group might extend the EFSP.
TCK process - David Blevins
Refer to email “Understanding the Current Specification Process” and Understanding Current TCK Process
Completion of the TCK process no later than Jan 30th 2019
The topic of distribution of TCK via Maven Central was discussed
Compiled ZIP files can also be distributed via EF downloads server.
Some of these TCKs are quite large and are produced several times a year, so Sonatype may not be happy with us.
May consider using EF hosted Nexus instance
Do we need consumers to explicitly agree to any terms to get access to the TCK for a Ratified Final Specification? (e.g. some sort of click through)
Werner - Dec 12th to provide an update on Jakarta EE NoSQL
Java EE Specification Documents contribution from Oracle -> this is still being discussed, however for now the answer is NO
No news on this are expected in next little while
Bill Shannon reported that the best case scenario is ⅓ specs will be contributed and ⅔ will not be (EJB and Servlet will not be contributed); criteria for deciding what specification can be contributed is not clear yet
