Re: [jakartaee-tck-dev] BALLOT to restructure Jakarta Platform and Jakar

[Scott Marlow <scott.marlow.opensource@xxxxxxxxx>]

Some of my feedback is that we should do this because logically we are not changing much with this restructuring change.  Functionally, the other EE Specification projects already maintain their own TCK (or they will) so this restructuring changes the Platform project to be more like the others.  From a development process point of view, this change encourages us to have one plan that covers the Platform TCK + the specification which will help us identify (some) flaws earlier during our planning discussions.  As mentioned already, we will otherwise not change the project repositories.  We also will keep the separate meetings and mailing lists.  So anyone that can contribute to TCKs can continue to do that with no barriers.

Jakarta Platform and TCK members,

I request your vote to approve the proposal to restructure the Jakarta EE Platform and Platform TCK Eclipse projects to be a single project.  This will not affect the existing mailing lists or the github repositories.  Those will continue to be separate.  This proposal will combine the projects and committer list of the Platform and Platform TCK Eclipse projects.

This will be a fourteen-day ballot, ending on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, that requires a simple majority positive vote of the committee members (note that there is no veto).  Community input is welcome, but only votes cast by Platform and TCK Committers will be counted.

Please respond with +1 (positive), 0 (abstain), or -1 (reject) on this BALLOT to indicate your preference regarding whether or not to combine the projects. Any feedback that you can provide to support your vote will be appreciated.

+1 from me on both projects.

Scott Marlow (IBM)
