Kevin,
JAX-RS API itself is not deeply related with JAXB, but the spec just mandates its support. We could modify the spec to simply make the support optional, so JAX-RS vendors would be free to provide their own copy of the API JAR instead of relying on Jakarta EE JAR to contain the JAXB interfaces and classes. In fact, I feel like there even would be a majority of JAX-RS committers actively supporting this idea, as modern applications rely on JSON instead of XML, and existing applications will still work fine once the JAX-RS vendor decides to still deliver support for JAXB. But in the end, we have to do a poll among the JAX-RS committers. Do you like to open an issue in our tracker?

Werner,
Let's not mix up the MicroProfile and Jakarta EE spec co-usage with this
discussion. That aspect of the relationship is being worked.
Any evolution of the JAXB API has to be outside of the javax namespace.
Whether it's done as part of the Jakarta Platform or as a separate
EF project, it still would have to be done as part of Specification Project.
And, this Specification Project would need to be part of a Working
Group that has accepted the Eclipse Foundation Specification Process. Right
now, that limits us to the Jakarta EE Working Group. Thus, a separate
EF project would still be under the EE4J umbrella. Given our current
constraints.
Markus,
One question I have is how dependent is JAX-RS on JAXB? Or, could
JAX-RS be modified to remove the dependency on JAXB? For example,
if the voting for this Add doesn't pass and JAXB is not added to Jakarta
(integrated or separate), then what impact will that have on JAX-RS?

I think that’s clearly a Question for many of the legal Folks at Eclipse Foundation and others (especially Oracle who was the main or only contributor during JCP times) if the reverse direction of other discussed possibilities like graduating selected MicroProfile features into Jakarta EE specs was also possible?
Under an assumed Name of "microprofile-jaxb" or similar.
No Need to be a lawyer, that it must neither Keep the javax nor a jakarta Namespace anywhere, if such a fork was even possible.

If nobody else wants JAXB, I could offer to further maintain it separately as a EF project outside of the Jakarta EE platform scope.
So you do not have to care about it, and I would care about those people that like to get it enhanced.

if so, what do we do with Mark K.s Nov 18th written feedback on active contributors to JAXB? ... JAX-WS?
direct quote:
There still are people out there who actively use JAXB and who even like to contribute new features to drive new releases of JAXB (me included).
It is not possible to make everyone happy while the renaming occurs yet I like the idea of later time "evolving those API" yet I worry that today we already know that there are contributors, via actions do we choose to tell them that their collaborations must stop until they rally forces to prove us wrong b/c their voice today is not enough prove.
there is no neutral ground in this ecosystem, there is this forum that traces how we get to a future. :) lets keep this thread going!

I think the JAXB and JAX-WS question has to be answered. I think
we either need to add both of them, or neither of them. At this point,
I would prefer that we don't add either of them. Let both JAXB and
JAX-WS to continue to live in their current state using the javax package
name. If we get enough interest in evolving these and supporting
these in the future, then we can entertain bringing them forward -- maybe
as standalone Specs under EE4J, maybe as part of the Platform. But,
let's not make this decision right now. There are several app servers
that already support Java SE 11 with these "missing" features
and they have figured out a way to support them. Let's leave it that
way until someone shows a need and desire to move them.
I'm okay with Activation since Bill has shown an interest in moving that
forward for Jakarta EE mail. But, even if that got "dropped"
to be consistent with none of the Java SE technologies moving into Jakarta
EE, I would be fine with that as well.
