[jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Jakarta-ized Specs a requirement for Jakarta

["Kevin Sutter" <sutter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
For the components
that have received and are in the process of jakarta-izing their specifications
from Oracle, are we going to require that this exercise be completed as
part of Jakarta EE 9?  This question indirectly came to light during
out Jakarta EE Update call this morning.  The JAX-RS team was explaining
how much work this was to Jakarta-ize their Spec -- more work than they
expected.

Since we didn't
require the Spec docs for Jakarta EE 8, I think it would be a tough sell
to require these docs for Jakarta EE 9.  Especially since we don't
know exactly when the rest of the components will be receiving their document
source.  And, if we really want Jakarta EE 9 to be an early 2020 deliverable,
then adding this additional Spec overhead may be too much.

I wanted to get
a reading from this team so that we have a response if and when this question
becomes real.
