If we consider that "jakarta" == "org.eclipse.enterprise", that is "jakarta" is the enterprise Java package root, then it does not matter and "jakarta" has the value of being shorter and more distinctive.
It could be that even MicroProfile may consider defining new specifications under the "jakarta" package root to allow for the case where the MicroProfile specification may one day be included in a Jakarta EE release.
So I would not view the "jakarta" package root as implying the Jakarta EE brand or Jakarta EE releases but instead as the successor package root for "javax" as the place for enterprise Java API.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] Transitioning Jakarta EE to the jakarta namespace

IMO org.eclipse.enterprise.* instead jakarta.* would make JakartaEE somthing like minor and
unimportant. Just like "some random lib hosted on eclipse".
Just replacing all javax with jakarta for the packages is the perfect choice IMO.
javax.faces -> jakarta.faces
Just not sure about CDI as the namespace is javax.enterprise.inject.
I think moving JSR330 annotations to CDI and call it jakarta.inject would be a very very nice decision.
Hi All.
I have some thoughts on the new package name (Jakarta).
Just an idea. Let me know what you think.
