| Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Is there a 1-to-1 association between Specification Projects and Specifications? |
A single Specification Project may define multiple specifications. I have no intention of refactoring "stable" or "platform".WayneOn Mon, Jun 10, 2019 at 3:58 PM Bill Shannon <bill.shannon@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:I sure hope that a single Eclipse specification project can create multiple specifications.

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.
