Agenda and Minutes

Jakarta EE 10 Status (standing agenda item)

• Still need interceptors release (need a committer to get it done)
  • https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/interceptor-api/pull/90 is merged.
  • https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.interceptors/who
  • https://ci.eclipse.org/interceptors/job/1_interceptors-build-and-stage/configure - needs to update the JDK to 11 to build
• Discussion on Interceptors – Needs dependencies staged first (Annotations). Then, Interceptors can be staged.
  • And then later update Interceptors to the next staged Annotations update.
  • Dmitry will take responsibility to get Annotations released. After it is final, dependent components can pull those artifacts for their proposed/final releases
    • Note that Standalone TCK is needed for Annotations for final release of Annotations.

• Discussed some of the probable steps to achieve these steps.

• Perhaps consider adding some of the procedural recipes (e.g. how to release) for all projects. Some of this material is available in legacy form at the Eclipse.org wiki. This is a longer term concern.

• Where is the release wave doc for Jakarta EE 10? Scott, can you provide a link to this doc?

[Emily] Next step on @Priorty discussion

• initiate a vote? Details are here

• Emily discussed the proposal in general terms. We discussed how to get broader review from other specification teams.
  • Identify impacted component specs and get feedback from those specs.
  • Create surveymonkey survey
  • Update solution D to be two separate options.
• This is NOT proposed for EE 10. We may want to stage some of the changes if necessary in preparation for a subsequent EE release.

Scott Kurz raised the question about Batch / CDI as discussed last week.

• Discussion about potential for CDI Beans. Interested members should review the thread and start deciding if this is a reasonable evolution for the EE 10 Specification.

Latest Spec. status

• Mail 2.1, Activation 2.1, RESTful Web Services 3.1, JSON Binding 3.0, JSON Processing 2.1, Expression Language 5.0 have initiated a release review PRs but none have reached ballot yet.
