Agenda and Minutes

Jakarta EE 10 (standing agenda item)

  • Core Profile PR: https://github.com/jakartaee/specifications/pull/419
  • Scott will add the release plan for Core to the project web page (gh-pages)
  • Scott will send out email with the target dates from the plan to project leads list
  • No feedback yet to the resolution regarding optional components of a Specification
    • No new optional features will be allowed
  • Start tracking progress of the specifications
    • Use the spreadsheet in the spec committee
    • We will also use a GH project board for this
    • Will the waves be similar?
      • Dependencies between the APIs are the same, so that is expected for EE 10 as well
      • How far we get with the TCK dependencies (circular) remains to be seen
  • First TCK calls on September 8
  • Identify implementations used for ratification in the ballots
    • TODO: Check if a project board can be used for this mapping
    • Or add a column to the tracking spreadsheet
  • TCK Guides will need to be updated

Semantic versioning of component specifications (continued)

  • Discussion continued on mailing list
  • No objections regarding semantic versioning
  • Some concerns regarding the dependencies suggested for tooling support (e.g osgi Version annotation)
  • Could be put forward as a recommendation, rather than a requirement
    • Get feedback from the projects adopting it
    • Set up some guidelines and ask for projects to volunteer (Config?)
    • Option to add this under the Jakarta namespace (instead of OSGI) at Jakarta Annotations
    • Potentially add as a platform requirement at a later stage
  • Signature tests must still work
    • Tooling changes likely to be updated to accept this type of annotations in the API classes
    • Must have agreement that this is a kind of change we want to do
  • Not in the scope for EE 10

JavaDocs – and other ancillary material (i.e. Spec., TCK User Guide - ascii-doc builds) working with JDK 11 (Ed)

  • When we run into issues running with JDK11, we will need to start working with the project teams case-by-case
  • Be proactive and run the javadoc+ jobs under JDK11 as soon as possible
    • Scott will create an issue for the platform javadoc
    • Kevin will experiment with Java 11 and get the build poms and Jenkins builds updated appropriately
  • Strongly encourage project teams to start running their builds on JDK 11 as soon as possible
  • Ed will run the TCK user guides builds (check status with Gurunandan Rao)
