[krazo-dev] the javax discussion

[Gregor Tudan <gregor@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

it was hard to get around the javax vs jakarta namespace discussion last week: https://eclipse-foundation.blog/2019/05/03/jakarta-ee-java-trademarks/

Have we made up our minds on how to deal with this for the MVC-Spec?

Can we release using javax.mvc? We started working on the spec outside of oracle some time ago and the spec was developed in the JCP. So one could argue that the latest version from the JCP should be fine, as long as we don’t change anything. Or would we violate the upcoming deal with Oracle even by publishing under the Eclipse umbrella?

Given that we could release version 1.0 using the current namespace - should we? It’s still a young spec and there will surely be updates necessary. So should we aim for jakarta.mvc from the start to avoid breaking stuff after 1.0?
