Re: [servlet-dev] Jakarta Servlet EE9 status
Hey Mark,

Kevin Sutter sent some information clarifying this and giving some information behind the decision to the platform-dev mailing list earlier this morning: https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jakartaee-platform-dev/msg01414.html

Given the clarification in the above thread I think the correct thing to do is to remove that check mark and have the community work towards an RC. We can then add a link to our RC here to notify others: https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-ee4j/projects/17#column-7346435

Thanks,

Paul Nicolucci

Please don't.

That checkbox is to indicate that an API JAR is available in Maven
Central that is in a suitable state for dependent projects to use for
their own javax -> jakarta transition. The M1 JAR meets that
requirement. JSP has already made use of it.

The reason it is M1 rather than RC1 is that none of the detail (copy
right dates, license headers, versions, OSGI manifest details) was
checked to produce the M1. There was no confidence that M1 would be a
suitable release candidate so it didn't get the RC qualifier.

That is still under discussion. There may be a small API addition.
