Agenda and Minutes

Jakarta EE 10 Status (standing agenda item)

    • Should be less complicated this time
    • Ordering not as critical this time as not all specs are being released
    • Spreadsheet

Removal of CORBA related APIs in EE10

• https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jakartaee-platform-dev/msg02808.html

Security Manager

• Should it be removed from the TCK?
• What is the negative impact of removing the tests?
• SPEC Assertion document jakartaee/JavaEESpecAssertions.xml
• Go through the spec, verify the assertions. What are they saying? Are they needed?
• The SecurityManager is deprecated in 17, not removed yet

Remove Applet from Platform

Updates from Specification Projects

• Form sent to project leads
• Replies so far from Expression Language, Server Pages, WebSocket and Servlet
• Ping the mailing list again, or even the project leads directly
• Action: Add link to form to Wiki (ivar)

TCK Coordination

• Tracking of staged artifacts and their SHA
• Project are encouraged to help keep the spreadsheet up-to-date
• Scott will maintain it, but ask the spec teams for help to update
• Should SHAs be automatically updated?
  • Could other aspects be of the spreadsheet be automated
  • Use Lukas’s Spec script example
