What is "the corresponding spec project"? For JAX-RS for example, Jersey is "just" the RI, and it is just the *current* RI. Exactly right. In the JCP we could decide to have future release of JAX-RS with different RIs. It is the intent of Oracle, IBM, Red Hat, and other participants that future versions of the JAX-RS specs will be done using a new spec process hosted at the Eclipse Foundation. So does that mean that from now on the JCP must stick with Eclipse-provided *current* RIs forever? Um. no. That would be dumb. And under the new spec process
provisions will be made to allow new RIs to appear, as well as
ensuring the creation of independent implementations. Actually I do not understand why the API project is not simply named "JAX-RS API", the TCK project "JAX-RS TCK" and the RI simply "Jersey"? Because those project names would violate Oracle's trademark rights in the "JAX-RS" name. |
