Greetings Jakarta RESTful Web Services project team,
The topic of package names for TCKs was discussed in the Specification Committee yesterday. The outcome of these discussions is that the
JESP and the
TCK Process will be updated with the clarification and requirement that packages beginning with `jakarta' will
not be allowed for TCKs.
End-user applications are not allowed to use 'jakarta' namespace, and since TCKs are supposed to mimic the behavior of these applications while testing the implementation, it, therefore, does not make sense to use this namespace in TCKs. Implementations experiencing issues with `jakarta` namespaced TCKs will most likely file challenges to invalidate the tests.
The project teams may choose any package name other than those beginning with `jakarta` for their TCK. A naming standard for TCK packages other than the one mentioned above may be introduced at a later stage, but not in the Jakarta EE 10 time frame.
The Specification Committee suggests that you go forward with this PR, either with the proposed package name change or change it to something entirely different of your choice. As long as it is not starting with `jakarta`.
