Re: [servlet-dev] [External] : Re: servlet.next 5.1. or 6.0
|
In the Platform group call this past week, it was suggested that
it might make sense to propose a release around the end of this
year (Oct. 15 is the initial SWAG target for each component's
Release Review). This release would propose the language base
version of Java be SE 11. Then, we would propose a subsequent
release, 12 to 18 months after that would be based at Java 17.
From then, we'd see if we could to keep EE Platform releases up to
date with LTS releases from Java SE.
Of course, these are all still proposals. The meeting minutes
from the 20th have not yet been pushed to the platform minutes log
but you can read the raw notes, here
(I'll confess they aren't particularly clear yet.)
Maybe that input will help. I'd be interested to understand if
any of this is helpful with respect to Servlet feature planning.
Also, I will offer that the Platform team would be grateful to
hear feedback from component teams like this one so if you have
ideas or comments -- we would like to hear them.

Mark,
How much time do we have? What's the target date?
My current understanding is that October 15, 2021 is the target
date.
The path changes we are currently discussing are - in my view - a
significant change. I think they would justify a 6.0 even if we
can't get everything we'd like to get done in 6.0 completed in
that time frame.
If we continue to make progress on the path topic at the rate we
have been recently, I'm confident that I could get the changes
implemented in Tomcat and suitable tests added to the TCK in that
time frame. Not that I'd object if anyone else wanted to help out
;)
Cheers,
Mark

Hi all,
We never really firmed up on this. I submitted Jakarta EE 10
release
plan based on 6.0 on the basis it would be easier to switch
from 6.0 to
5.1 than from 5.1. to 6.0.
At this point it would be good to decide which we are going
to aim for.
My own view is we should aim for 6.0. This is primarily
because I
really
want to remove all the deprecated code from the API.
Thoughts?
Mark
