Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] NEW VOTE 4: Optional Specs for the jakarta

[Tibor Digana <tibordigana@xxxxxxxxxx>]

-1 nonbinding

It's so easy task to only repackage javax -> jakarta  instead of reopening the same questions in the User group after the release.

Anything else still can be done in v10, v11 if you are fast enough, but this slows down all.

Please vote +1/0/-1 on the following.  Any non +1 vote, please provide reasoning in your reply.  Thank you!

Mark Optional (Move to jakarta namespace) - Vote
• Jakarta Enterprise Web Services 1.4, JSR 109
• EJB 2.x API Group (Table 18 in EJB 3.2 Spec)

Since the other Web Services related specifications are being proposed as Optional (in Vote 3), we felt it was sufficient to mark JSR 109 as Optional.  There is no API associated with this Specification, but there is a TCK and Implementation.  So, still some work to do, but we lower the bar for new implementations.

Since there was confusion on the specific EJB APIs that were proposed previously, and there was a mix level of support for pruning, this proposal suggests to mark the EJB 2.x API Group as Optional.  Granted, this still leaves work on the table for Jakarta EE 9 (vs pruning), but there seemed to be a greater level of hesitancy on removing this EJB 2.x API Group -- especially since it was never marked optional or deprecated in the past.  At least by marking it optional, it lowers the bar for new implementations.
