Re: [ee4j-community] EE4J and the JCP

[Bill Shannon <bill.shannon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

To be clear, the quoted section of the JCP Process Document would only apply to the initial creation of the very first version of "Java EE".  That's what's meant by "initial version".  It does not apply to updates to the platform such as "Java EE 6" or "Java EE 7" or "Java EE 8".

That is simply incorrect. For example, please see https://jcp.org/en/procedures/jcp2

Ballots to approve Umbrella JSRs that define the initial version of a new Platform Edition Specification or JSRs that propose changes to the Java language are approved if (a) at least a two-thirds majority of the votes cast are "yes" votes, (b) a minimum of 5 "yes" votes are cast, and (c) Oracle casts one of the "yes" votes. Ballots are otherwise rejected.

Hi Mike,

This is the kind of thing I was really looking forward to hearing to understand what you guys mean by too much control. I'd rather make compromises at the JCP than to leave it. To vendors and other parties in the EC: does it sound hard to change this to allow EE not to be considered a "Plataform Edition Specification" now it's free from Oracle?

Regards,

Michael
