Consider this an out-of-band status update to my update at the Steering Committee meeting on Tuesday 2024-10-15. At that meeting, I stated:
- The Platform Project is re-evaluating the ability to deliver EE 11 in time for the ballots to complete in time for JakartaOne on 2024-12-03.
- We are confident to be able to do this for the Core Profile.
- We are not as confident to do this for the Web and Platform profiles.
Here is the update I gave at the Spec Committee on Wednesday 2024-10-16 , with Scott Stark present and representing the Platform TCK project:
The Platform TCK Team did some estimating, with the following changes:
- Assume <stakeholder consented estimating exercises from 2024-10-16 Platform TCK call (See agenda)>
- With these changes, we got to GF passing 84%.
- For discussion let's call this the "11 with exclusions" proposal.
- We propose to exclude the remaining 16%
- produce a list of those excluded tests, and let the stakeholders decide.
- It is likely that the big portion of those excluded tests are appclient tests.
- The Platform TCK team discussed several options for producing an offer with a high likelihood of acceptance by the voting stakeholders of the Spec Committee but put them aside in favor
of the "11 with exclusions" proposal.
- Discussion at the Spec Committee revealed that the "11 with exclusions" proposal does not have a high likelihood of acceptance by the voting stakeholders of the Spec Committee.
- Ed revived one of the "put aside" proposals from the Platform TCK Team.
- For discussion let's call this the "10 + 11" proposal.
- To be a ratifying compatible implementation of the Jakarta EE 11 Platform and Web Profiles, an implementation must:
- Pass the Jakarta EE 11 Platform TCK according to the "11 with exclusions" proposal.
- Pass the off-the-shelf Jakarta EE 10 Platform TCK, but with a well-defined set of exclusions, as defined by the Jakarta EE Platform Project team and TCK team.
Here is the update I am giving you now:
The Jakarta EE Platform Project team and TCK team believes the above "10 + 11" proposal is the most likely way to deliver EE 11 in time for the ballots to complete in time for JakartaOne on 2024-12-03.
