This is a great direction and it is an easy +1 from Microsoft.

In terms of naming, things like Jakarta Health is a lot less of a mouthful than Jakarta MicroProfile Health. We do believe maintaining the MicroProfile brand and differentiation is important and valuable. For example, the resulting new Jakarta Profile could be called "Micro Profile". Similarly, associated sensible package names that would be clear to the community and customers could be: jakarta.microprofile.*. Unfortunately things like org.microprofile.* inside Jakarta EE may prove to be too confusing as it implies a separate domain.

Using any other namespace instead of org.eclipse.microprofile.* would cause unnecessary migration effort. People might still remember how hard the Eclipse Foundation tried to keep the javax namespace to avoid the migration effort. Right now, we have the pleasure to keep the microprofile namespace. Why should we throw away the luxury and force the MicroProfile customers to go through migration? As for the spec name, it is less important as it has not much application impact.

From a Microsoft standpoint, we will do whatever we sensibly can to ensure this is not seen as a zero sum outcome dynamic for anyone and only a net gain for all.

At yesterday's MicroProfile Steering Committee call, John and Emily presented "Proposal: Host MicroProfile in Jakarta EE". Before replying to this post, please review the meeting minutes to see what has been discussed. Please use this thread to continue the discussion. The proposal is at a high level, and some details would need to be worked out if this proposal moves forward.

However, for the proposal to move forward, we would need to have a vote.  We are not there yet because the details matter.

Let's discuss the details in this thread, which is dual-posted to the Google Group and the MicroProfile Working Group email alias.

For those that attended the meeting, please review the minutes for accuracy.

Thanks!
