Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Clarification regarding Specification Contribution

Tanja

Subject to agreeing on a suitable contribution agreement for the text of the Java EE Specifications, we anticipate that the contribution of the specification document contents (text and images/diagrams) must be made in a way that doesn't require proprietary software for use.

Currently, most (though not all) of the specification documents were written using Adobe FrameMaker. As we had discussed in an earlier meeting, we are working on migrating those documents into a text based format that can be edited using a variety of editing tools.

Eclipse should expect a collection of documents (non-code contributions). I don't think the actual contribution details are completely worked out yet but that's what the line-item is for.

The first dependency on this task is the agreement between Eclipse and Oracle for the initial contribution.

HI All,

in preparation for the next week's call and to better plan the work on the specification tab of the Jakarta EE 8 release and Jakarta EE 9 planning sign up document , can you explain what exactly can we expect for line item 23?

Contribution of Specification documents






Deliver Specification Document(s) into agreed format to Eclipse Foundation Oracle ??
dependent on copyrights agreement

By looking at JCP Java EE / JSRs by Platform I am wandering what exactly is is going to be contributed? I know we are still ways off with the copyright agreements, but if you can pick a specification / JSR as an example and walk through with specifics, that would be great.

Many thanks,
Tanja
