There are a few projects that have inconsistencies in the GAV that needs to be addressed, but we said it would happen after EE 8.
Hi,As we're working
through the JAXR effort, I'm coming across a naming inconsistency. Looking
for advice -- now and later.According to our
Naming convention document (https://github.com/jakartaee/specification-committee/blob/master/names.adoc),
JAXR is now known as Jakarta XML Registries, with a code name of xml-registries
(plural).The TCK download
site (https://download.eclipse.org/ee4j/jakartaee-tck/jakartaee8-eftl/promoted/)
shows a corresponding name of eclipse-xml-registries-tck.zip.But, the existing
GAV for JAXR is as follows:
<groupId>jakarta.xml.registry</groupId>
<artifactId>jakarta.xml.registry-api</artifactId>And, since we're
not supposed to modify the GAV for Jakarta EE 8, we have an inconsistency
with the use of "registry" for the GAV and "registries"
for the tck.I know this sounds
like a nit, but one of my team members that was trying to get the TCK job
for JAXR working accidentally followed suit of the "registries"
naming convention for accessing the API. It took "too much time"
to discover that problem. It looked "right", but it sure
didn't work right... :-)So, do we do anything
for Jakarta EE 8? Or, do we live with this inconsistency? If
we change anything, I would suggest we change the name of the tck file
to match the GAV for the api. But, at this point in the game, maybe
that's asking too much. Depdending on our direction for Jakarta EE
9, we can get all of this naming consistent. I have not checked if
we have other inconsistencies like this.
