Agenda and Minutes

Jakarta EE 10 Status (standing agenda item)

  • Discussed updating module-info for API jars without release plans that want to support both Java SE 8 and Java SE 11
  • Multi-release JARs? Or compile twice to produce two JARs?

[Emily] Module-info location

  • Where should the module-info.class be located? Shall the jar be a multi-release jar?
  • Must be possible/easy to exclude module-info when packaged in uber-Jar

  • Summary:

    • module-info must be placed in the root of the JAR
    • The four specs from JDK 8 already support module-info: Activation, XML Binding, XML web services, SOAP attachments
      • jsonp, mail, persistence, jsonb
    • In case a spec wants/needs to support previous versions of Java, a multi-release JAR may be required for that spec (e.g., JAXB in EE 9/9.1)
    • Multi-release JAR is not needed just for adding the module-info

[Emily] Module-info support

  • Only module-info file required, no tck provided?
  • Not needed any tests for Jakarta EE 10
  • Will be validated as a part of the ratification of the spec
  • Add checklist for what to verify:
    • Module-info in root
    • Multi-release JAR if supporting older version
    • etc..?
