Re: [jakarta.ee-spec] [External] : [BALLOT] Update JESP to Clarify `jaka

We think this is limits options for technologies that may wish to contributions to Jakarta EE. While we agree that the name-space model should be regular and consistent, we don't see a need to make this formal restriction against specification work.

We would also have preferred there be more socialization and community discussion prior to putting a proposal such as this to ballot.

Greetings Jakarta EE Specification Committee.

This is the ballot to action the proposal made in the 11th June Specification Committee meeting to update the text in the JESP to provide clarity on if the 'jakarta' namespace is required or not.

The proposal is to clarify the Specification Committee stance and add the following text to the JESP: "All specifications must use the jakarta namespace".

I have drafted a PR here: https://github.com/jakartaee/jakarta.ee/pull/2185

Per the process, this will be a seven-day ballot, ending on the 19^th of June 2025 that requires a Super-majority positive vote of the Specification Committee members (note that there is no veto). Community input is welcome, but only votes cast by Specification Committee Representatives will be counted.

The Specification Committee is composed of representatives of the Jakarta EE Working Group Member Companies (Fujitsu, IBM, Oracle, Payara, Tomitribe, Primeton, and Shandong Cvicse Middleware Co.), along with individuals who represent the EE4J PMC, Participant Members, and Committer Members.

Specification Committee representatives, your vote is hereby requested. Please respond with +1 (positive), 0 (abstain), or -1 (reject). Any feedback that you can provide to support your vote will be appreciated.

Thanks …
