Re: [jakartaee-tck-dev] Maintenance Release 8.0.3?
|
We're at 99% passing with the Web Profile TCK, down to 187 failures. We'll definitely have a handful of challenges ourselves, so we'd also support (and could even help create) an 8.0.3.
Timing-wise, though, we'd prefer to spend the next couple weeks focused on 9.1 so we can help validate the optional ORB changes. We could definitely help with an 8.0.3 afterwards. It wouldn't be immediately after as there would be some time needed to talk through the challenges, but hopefully just a few weeks after. The 9.1 release is likely to be sometime in April, so perhaps that'd make an 8.0.3 sometime in June.
Olivier, would this timeline work for you? What do others think?
Hi Olivier,Right now, there
were no plans for an 8.0.3 release of the TCK. Not saying there couldn't
be an 8.0.3 TCK release -- it's just that there were no plans.In the past, fixes
to the Java EE TCK were not automatically backported to previous TCK releases.
Since Java EE didn't have the big breaking change like we did with
the "jakarta" namespace, it was more straight forward to just
direct users of the Java EE TCK to the newer versions. So, this "javax"
to "jakarta" namespace change has definitely introduced a wrinkle
into the support statements. We want and need
teams to move forward to the "jakarta" namespace in Jakarta EE
9. That's where our focus is on maintaining and enhancing the TCK
bucket. But, we still want to encourage the Jakarta brand by getting
more TCK compatible implementations -- whether it's for Jakarta EE 8, or
9, or 9.1...So, maybe we should
start with that question... What are Webtide's plans on supporting
Jakarta EE 9? Is Jakarta EE 8 compatibility an "end game",
or do you have plans to move forward to Jakarta EE 9?And, the other
question is how many changes are you targeting for this backport? We
have to weigh the costs of this backporting exercise along with the release
process against the costs of making progress with 9.1 and beyond -- which
will help with the long-term livelihood of Jakarta.This is an excellent
discussion point. But, as you can see, there's no easy answer. :-)
Thanks for raising the question. --------------------------------------------------- Kevin Sutter STSM, Jakarta EE and MicroProfile architect @ IBM e-mail: sutter@xxxxxxxxxx Twitter: @kwsutter phone: tl-553-3620 (office), 507-253-3620 (office) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinwsutter

<jakartaee-tck-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx> Hi Is there any plan to release a 8.0.3? with some fixes backport? (I'm interested with this one https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_eclipse-2Dee4j_jakartaee-2Dtck_pull_562&d=DwICAg&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=R9dtOS3afYnRUmu_zogmh0VnVYl2tse_V7QBUA9yr_4&m=3Vb3-CGoObTzZTnNFtk0F2FwehNBDTUdSoYJEXN0n9M&s=FS9b-MBCGKcjlC0P2GC6RlzHvQBlQ6XIWDn694WzBqY&e= ) and maybe more?
