Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Legacy Free Profile

Wouldn't we just want to prune these items from the base platform spec?  Pruning just makes them optional.

Perhaps Jakarta EE 9 is the time to introduce a “Legacy Free Profile” (not final name).

 

The goal of the Legacy Free Profile is to;

• Not include any apis that have been deprecated
• Not include backwards compatibility requirements

 

This will provide a clear profile that can be used to create lighter runtimes.

Would make it easier for new vendors to enter the market with a compatible implementation.

Would be a target for users and customers that don’t care about backwards compatibility but do care about server footprint.

Would enable customers to discover the impact of deprecation has on their applications and evolve them.

 

This is not a full proposal but just throwing ot out there for discussion.
