I finally got around
to reading the proposed Scope Statement for the Platform project (sorry,
Bill) and I see that this topic was also addressed there -- the need to
support multiple Specifications.  In this case -- Full Platform/Profile,
Web Profile, and Java Beans.  So, just in case, somebody was going
to argue in support of the 1-to-1 mapping, we have multiple instances where
that rule would cause even more effort...  Thanks.

Hi,
This came up during the review of the Stable API project rename exercise:
 https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-platform/issues/11

In a nutshell, is there a requirement that only a single technology Specification
be generated by a Specification Project?  For this particular example,
the Stable API Project currently has five Java EE technologies.  Are
we going to be required to create five separate Specification Projects?
 I hope not.  Even though this Stable API project may be a unique
example, there have been examples in the past where producing multiple
Specifications by a single Expert Group was deemed fruitful (EJB and JPA).
 Eventually, JPA became it's own project, but it started off as as
separate specification under the EJB expert group.

I've browsed through the EFSP and I don't see where this is a requirement.
 It's kind of implied based on the wording and perceptions, but I
didn't find anything that required this 1-to-1 mapping.  
In the Issue above, I asked Wayne about it, but maybe this is a question
for the wider Spec Committee.  Thanks.
