Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] BALLOT: Approval to restructure as specification projects (round one)
FYI,
I recently raised the same question via the tracking issue...  The community came back again with the long name (not my preference):
https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxrs-api/issues/753#issuecomment-500533958

If that is what the project wants then I think we should respect that.

I don't think it is too late. My preference is "Jakarta REST", and I have stated that on the GitHub issue. However, the project did a vote and landed on "Jakarta RESTful Web Services". It is up to us as the Specification whether we want to overrule or respect the project decision. I lean towards going with what the project decided even if my personal preference would be the shorter option...

Probably too late, but I noticed that new proposed rename for JAX-RS has changed from "Jakarta REST" to "Jakarta RESTful Web Services" I think the shorter name is more in keeping with our effort to get rid of extraneous terms in spec names.  REST is a type of Web Services so we don't need "Web Services" in the name.

Greetings Specification Committee...

Here is the first round of conversions from regular Eclipse Projects into Specification Projects. I've grouped five projects into this first Restructuring Review. 

The purpose of a Restructuring Review is to change the nature of a project. Since the Eclipse Foundation Specification Process (EFSP) does not specifically deal with the notion of restructuring, I'm following the Eclipse Development Process (EDP). While we are not strictly creating a new project, we are in a manner of thinking, creating new Specification Projects from the existing ones. With this in mind, I am treating this as a Creation Review from the perspective of the Specification Committee approval requirement. 

I have created a Restructuring Review record that provides the high level details of the intention. I've pasted it below for your quick review and for posterity. In all cases, I've included the scope statement for the specification itself; the specification project's scope will be to "provide the specification document and supporting technical artifacts" for the corresponding specification.

The review documentation includes links to GitHub Issues that provide more details regarding what will change. In the case of "Eclipse Project for JAX-RS", for example, we are compelled to change the project id and the name of the GitHub repository to avoid names that Oracle lays claim to.

Here is the project list:

Eclipse Project for JAX-RS will be renamed to "Jakarta RESTful Web Services" with the following specification scope: 

Jakarta RESTful Web Services defines a standard for development of web services following the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural pattern.

Eclipse Project for JSON Processing will be renamed "Jakarta JSON Processing" with the following specification scope:

Jakarta JSON Processing defines a Java(R) based framework for parsing, generating, transforming, and querying JSON documents.

Eclipse Project for JAF will be renamed "Jakarta Activation" with the following specification scope:

Jakarta Activation defines a set of standard services to: determine the MIME type of an arbitrary piece of data; encapsulate access to it; discover the operations available on it; and instantiate the appropriate bean to perform the operation(s).

Eclipse Project for JPA will be renamed "Jakarta Persistence" with the following specification scope:

Jakarta Persistence defines a standard for management of persistence and object/relational mapping in Java(R) environments. 

Eclipse Project for WebSocket will be renamed "Jakarta WebSocket" with the following scope:

Jakarta WebSocket defines how Jakarta based applications create and manage WebSocket Clients and Servers.



I hereby request that the Specification Committee vote to approve the conversion as described above of these existing projects into Specification Projects under the supervision of the Jakarta EE Working Group.

Please respond to this note with:
+1 to approve;
-1 to reject; or
0 to abstain.

If you do choose to reject or abstain, I would appreciate a short (one or two sentence) explanation.

I will interpret a single vote as applying to all of the listed projects. You may also vote for each project individually (if, for example, you'd like to register different votes for each projects).

I will document the results of this vote on a per-project basis.

Thanks,

Wayne
