[jakarta.ee-spec.committee] XML Namespaces and URLs

[Richard Monson-Haefel <rmonson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Java EE employs a number of XML names spaces for configuration of applications and resources. Each XML namespace has a URI as well as URL pointing to the XML Schema.  Right now, these URIs and URLs point to the JCP for at least some if not most of the Java EE technologies;  The namespace and the XML Schema locations are at jcp.org.  

How are we going to handle this?  If Jakarta EE is managed Jakarta EE Working Group and by the Eclipse foundation than maintaining these namespaces and Schemas at the JCP doesn't make sense, but changing them could be disruptive to existing implementations that will want to move seamlessly from Java EE 8 to Jakarta EE 8 and beyond.
