Re: [ee4j-community] EE4J Project Proposals

Anyways, this discussion seems to be fruitless. Neither does Oracle seem to be willing to *officially* explain why we MUST NOT use the sole abbreviation "JAX-RS" even in case it is not officially claimed to be a trademark itself (*single-letter-references* to trademarks cannot be forbidden in Europe; maybe they can in the USA, but then Oracle could simply be so friendly as to publicly cite the legal text or the original precedent they might refer to), nor does  the Eclipse Foundation seem to be willing to either ask Oracle for an official statement or to suite (an even promising) lawsuit just to reach legal certainty. Again, as no party is willing to explain the situation to the the community, this discussion seems to be fruitless. I personally now know what I wanted to know: Oracle is *not* giving JAX-RS to the community, they *just* give the API, TCK and RI *source code* of JAX-RS and Jersey to the Eclipse Foundation.

I'm going to guess that the trademark issue is not with the acronym (JAX-RS) but with the full name of the project (JavaTM API for XML-based RESTful Web Services), where the Java trademark is figured.

As such, the J in JAX-RS is a direct reference to Oracle's trademark, and a violation of the guidelines.

 

That would also explain why they could approve for the new prject to be called "Eclipse Project for JAX-RS"

Kevin, I asked about using the name "JAX-RS" and his answer was "… the Third Party Usage Guidelines for Oracle Trademarks.". If he wouldn't say that JAX-RS is an Oracle trademark, why did he refer to that?

Sorry, Markus, but I just re-read this string of notes and I don't see where anybody is claiming JAX-RS is an Oracle Trademark...  Bill indicated that the use of JAX-RS as in "Eclipse Project for JAX-RS" conforms to the Oracle guidelines, but he didn't claim that it was trademarked.

In any case, all of the spec-related project proposals were renamed to be "Eclipse Project for xxx API".  You can find the complete list of pending project proposals here:

Sorry if this is annoying to you, but I did not find any proof that the abbreviation "JAX-RS" is an Oracle Trademark. Do you have a link to a public document that proofs this claim?

This has been discussed endlessly.  See the Third Party Usage Guidelines for Oracle Trademarks.  No, that's not going to change.

The API project will be named "Eclipse Project for JAX-RS".  The TCK will be included as another repository under that project, once the community does the work to separate it from the CTS.  The RI project will be named "Eclipse Jersey".

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"?

Re: [ee4j-community] EE4J Project Proposals

 
Where we already have separate projects for the specifications (APIs) and the implementation, they'll remain separate at the Eclipse Foundation.  For example, "Eclipse WebSocket API for Java" is the API specification project and "Eclipse Tyrus" is the implementation project.

In some cases, such as Eclipse JSON Processing, the existing project contains both the API classes and the implementation classes.  After the initial project is established at Eclipse, the EE4J community can choose to do the work to split that project into two projects if desired.

We've decided to rename the specification projects from (e.g.) "Eclipse RESTful Web Services API for Java" to "Eclipse Project for JAX-RS".  That should make it clear what the intent of the project is, while conforming to Oracle trademark guidelines.

Yes, the JAX-RS JSR reference is wrong; we'll fix that.

Hi there,

It's great to see some progress. However, there are a few things in that announcement that puzzle me. Apologies upfront for any stupid questions, I'm just trying to make sense out of it.

First of all, these project proposals seem to throw both specifications and RIs into one pot. I guess it makes sense to create Eclipse projects for implementations such as Tyrus or Jersey. Are the specifications also planned to be incorporated as Eclipse projects? Or will there be standardization processes, what the JSRs with EGs are today? Especially in regard to the overall platform, which JSR 366 is today. I'm not familiar with what is planned to be the substitute for JSRs & EGs, but maybe it makes sense for the Java EE community to see some suggestion there first.

Do the specifications need to adopt the name Eclipse? In the EE4J FAQ #7 it says that the intention is to continue to use the former JCP specification names, such as 'Java API for RESTful Web Services'. I know that names are what people get religious about, but still I believe that we should not choose some names for specifications before the name for what will succeed Java EE (e.g. Open EE) is carved into stone. IMO 'Eclipse RESTful Web Services API for Java' is a bad substitute for JAX-RS.

I only checked the Eclipse analog for the JAX-RS so far, but that refers to JSR 339, which is JAX-RS 2.0, not JSR 370. Since EE4J should be aligned with EE 8, shouldn't that refer to the current specification?

Cheers,
Sebastian
(JSR 370, 374, 382)

All,

I would like to draw your attention to fact that nine new EE4J project proposals were recently posted on the Eclipse Foundation's proposal page. This is the first step to making the migration of Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation a reality.

The list of proposals is below. There are more details on the proposal page, or on my blog post.

Thanks!
Eclipse Tyrus
Eclipse OpenMQ
Eclipse Grizzly
Eclipse Jersey
Eclipse RESTful Web Services API for Java
Eclipse Message Service API for Java
