Agenda and Minutes (30 min call due to PMC at bottom of hour)

Jakarta EE 9.1

• TCK and GF status
  • JDK 8 Full Platform still passes!
  • JDK 11 is getting more attention, some TCK issues + GF issues.
    • App client container failures, certificate failures.
    • GlassFish runs on JDK 11, passes its internal tests
    • TCK Test failures should be reported in the GF issue tracker
• EJB test references to PortableRemoteObject#narrow?
  • Vote happening on EJB Dev mailing list
  • https://www.eclipse.org/lists/ejb-dev/msg00188.html
• EJB test references to CORBA.ORB?
  • Eager vs lazy loading of references
  • Only (Corba) optional tests can still reference the CORBA.ORB class (to avoid CNFE on eager classloading JVMs).
• Based on current status, it is likely that the release date will be pushed out to April
