Agenda:

  • Jakarta EE 9 Specification readiness for ballot - getting the first wave of ballots underway. Also see Ivar’s email on Jul 18, 2020, 10:07 [All]

Targeted to be ready for ballot by 07/24 - Annotations, Dependency Injection, JSON P

Targeted to be ready to be ready week of 07/27 - Servlet, Annotations

  • Making Java Module names more consistent for Jakarta EE 9 [Scott]
    See Module Name Analysis for details.

Proposal - No new module names for EE 9.0. If it was in EE 8 it can remain, do not add for EE 9.0. Exception - if java.*, then change java.* → jakarta.*. That is it. This is an interim update to the module names to be revisited in the next or future release.

Also see the following document where the community is discussing options and add your comments…  Note - Option F is closest to what we were proposing on today’s call.

  • Ed asked about the “date:” field in the _index.md file, along with the date specified in the Release Records, and the Project’s documentation (specs, tck guides, etc).

    • We decided that the Release Records and Project documentation is up to the individual Projects to maintain.  The furthest date to specify is the GA Plan of Record for the Platform (Sept 16, 2020 as of today).

Kevin said he would verify whether the “date:” field was properly documented in our operations guide.
