Agenda

[WK] Namespace

As we had a couple of discussions and action items like (XML) schema, what would be the impact if a future Jakarta EE version added new namespaces like “org.eclipse.x” in addition to the current “jakarta” namespace?

Minutes:

  • Ivar demo’d https://jakarta.ee/schemas/ and the associated namespaces
  • The comment from Werner about future namespaces such as org.eclipse.microprofile was recognized, but tabled until it becomes an issue in the future.
  • In general, implementation specific namespaces (ie. glassfish) still need to be investigated. Ivar volunteered to follow up with this action.

CI Tool(s) for Jakarta EE

  • There have been PRs like https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/openmq/pull/497 in some spec or impl (“CI” as “Compatible - - Implementation” here) projects asking to use Travis-CI. Is there a strategy or coordinated effort regarding CI build pipelines?

Minutes:

  • Is there anything preventing the use of Travis as a backup CI? No. Jenkins is required to do the release processing. But, other CI mechanisms can be used on a per-project basis.

Kevin asked for the current status for Activation, Mail, Bean Validation and Batch. Seems to be very close to draft PR.

Minutes:

  • Dmitry gave a status of all the specs led by Oracle
  • Bean Validation dependent on Hibernate Validator and WELD (CDI). Still tests to fix. When CDI is released, BV can move forward.
