[jakartaee-platform-dev] Please remove ejb-jar_4_0.xsd from Jakarta EE 1

["Tracy Burroughs" <tkb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I noticed that the
ejb-jar_4_0.xsd was inadvertently updated for Jakarta EE 10.  I've
opened the following issue for someone to remove this XSD from Jakarta
EE 10:

https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-schemas/issues/34

There will be no revision of the Jakarta Enterprise Beans (EJB) specification
for Jakarta EE 10, so the XSD format must remain unchanged, otherwise applications
written to the EJB 4.0 API may fail to deploy to some vendor implementations.
The update made for Jakarta EE 10 results in new Jakarta EE 10 specific
elements being added to the ejb-jar.xml format.... so applications written
using that update could fail to deploy to Jakarta EE 9 compatible implementations.

This is pretty
much the same scenario as how EJB 3.2 was part of both Java EE 7 and Java
EE 8. The ejb-jar_3_2.xsd file was not updated for Java EE 8.

I didn't look through all the updated XSD files, but if other XSD were
updated for specifications that will not have a revision for Jakarta EE
10, then those XSD files should be removed as well.

Thanks,
