Past business / action items:

  • Approval is requested for the meeting minutes from the March 23rd, 2022 meeting as drafted - Approved.


Agenda:

Action: Send reminder on release dates and a call to action to project leads, action required now to protect the release date. Scott Stark to send email.


  • Core Profile naming question - Is the "Core Profile" name appropriate given that the canonical associated application type would be a micro service?

The Jakarta EE “Core Profile” name decision was made during the project Creation review, and will not be re-visited now. Focus at this point needs to be on how it is positioned and described in supporting materials for Jakarta EE 10.


On March 23rd the Committee accepted the proposal as documented and presented. 

Next steps, before proceeding to ballot:

  • Add text to explain proposal to the presentation

  • Prepare the draft resolution text

  • Document guidance to projects to when to (and if) to re-align to this proposed structure.

Revisit this topic in light of email discussion that occurred on the jakarta.ee-spec.committee mailing list after March 23rd meeting

Action: David and Ivar to document guidelines for projects and link off jakarta.ee


  • General guidance on the authorized usage of the jakarta package namespace governed by the Jakarta EE Working Group and the JESP

    • Proposed JESP update authored to provide guidance, see https://github.com/jakartaee/JESP/pull/8

      • “Use of the `jakarta` namespace is limited to API artifacts (all API jars, javadoc, and schema namespaces). It must not be used for any deployment, including applications, TCKs, tools, libraries, or any other assets produced by Specification Projects."

    • PR was approved by the Jakarta EE Specification Committee on March 9th, see https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jakarta.ee-spec/msg02258.html.
