I am not a member of the specification committee, but because this is a straw poll, I will cast my vote. 

I vote for option 2.

Here's why. Those who understand brands and the dilution thereof will choose to use the Jakarta namespace even though they don't have to. I can only hope that those who have been opposing mandating the use of Jakarta namespace will choose to do when they have the chance. I chose option 2 so such individuals will have the choice.

Thanks,

Ed

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] [Straw poll] namespace policy for existing specifications moving to the Jakarta specification project

As discussed at the July 9th meeting, we decided to do a straw poll to determine the specification committee group's opinion on package namespaces used by specifications wanting to move to the Jakarta specification project.

Please respond to this straw poll by July 23, 2025 so we can discuss results at the next specification committee meeting.

For existing specification projects that wish to move to the Jakarta specification project select one of the following options:

option 1: Force the existing specification projects to move all of their API package namespaces to jakarta when they move to the Jakarta specification project

option 2: Allow existing specification projects to retain their own existing package namespaces when they move to the Jakarta specification project

option 3: no preference
