Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] Java EE Guardians Statement on Oracle/Eclipse Agreement
|
Thanks for posting the statement and sharing your thoughts Ryan.
I agree that I'd like to see changes (new features) in the platform sooner, rather than later. We are all in a ship that has been cruising at the same speed for a number of years now, while other ships are sailing past. In an effort to keep the platform relevant, new features need to be added in a timely manner.
I am of the opinion that we need to perform a switch over to the jakarta package namespace at once. The platform is changing from Java EE to Jakarta EE. I think it will be much easier for the community (and newcomers) to understand that they are moving from the older platform to the newer platform, rather than revisiting the "old" packages each time an upgrade occurs. I won't reinvigorate this discussion here on this thread...the original package renaming thread contains lots of great discussion already.
I think MicroProfile makes sense as a "profile" of Jakarta EE. It will be confusing if Jakarta EE is a platform that contains a number of profiles (web, standard), and MicroProfile is a "different" initiative that uses Jakarta EE specs. Perhaps to start slowly, rolling some of the features of MicroProfile into Jakarta EE 9 makes sense. Java EE has been waiting for Health Checking and Configuration for years...why not make use of the excellent work done by MicroProfile and roll it into Jakarta EE?
Thanks again
Just thought I’d add my own thoughts…
- I would like to see newer features added sooner than later to keep the platform fresh.
- Despite being somewhat cautious, I would like to see the switch to Jakarta EE packages sooner than later and not drawn out. Perhaps new specs added with the existing specs doing the rename.
- While I know that MicroProfile is a separate project, I think it is causing confusion. Spring Boot definitely has the mindshare. I’ve never met anyone saying “I doing MicroProfile” but I have met many ardent fans developing Spring Boot applications.
