I agree that we shouldn't require it, although it should be strongly
encouraged.
If any changes are made other than just the package name change, it
should very very strongly be encouraged. And the spec committee is
always free to review the changes to a particular API and say "I
don't understand how the updated API works, you need more
documentation than just the javadocs".
(Is there a recording of the Update call? I was confused about the
time of the meeting and missed it. I'd like to understand why
updating the docs to Jakarta-ize them is difficult. Ya, I'm sure
the quantity of work required is quite large in some cases,
but I didn't expect it to be complicated to figure out how to do the
updates. Kevin, did you consider the updates to the platform spec
to be difficult?)

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.
