Agenda and Minutes

• Jakarta EE 10 Status (standing agenda item)
  • Component specs need to be finalized by Q1 2022, platform and profiles as soon as possible after that early in Q2
    • Pull Requests for Release Reviews: https://github.com/jakartaee/specifications/pulls
    • Need to follow up with the specifications with no progress and possibly drop them from EE 10 if they can’t deliver by Q1
  • “Umbrella Committers” would be great in order to be able to do cross-project tasks and help out projects where needed
    • Scott will bring this up with the Specification Committee(Dec 15 meeting)
• Semantic versioning revisited
  • Tools for detecting semantic versioning problems in the build
  • Discussion going on on the CDI mailing list
  • Use OSGi annotations to enforce semantic versioning?
  • OSGi metadata in prior version (baseline) is used for checking correct versioning
  • JPMS metadata can be generated from the same tooling
  • Build-time aware frameworks are not necessarily happy with provided scope annotations (which is commonly used for the OSGi semver annotations); need to use compile scope for the dependency
  • Next steps:
    • Close the discussion on the CDI mailing list and reach some sort of agreement
    • Add to agenda for next CDI call
    • Calendar: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=eclipse-foundation.org_e9ki8t2gc75sh07qdh95c8ofvc%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe%2FStockholm
• Tool for generating architecture documentation from dependencies (Jan)
  • Tool to help generating AsciiDoc documentation form Jakarta component spec dependencies
  • Maven Plugin: https://github.com/ferstl/depgraph-maven-plugin (test still pending)
• FYI – if you are interested, Tomas Langer gave a community presentation on the Jakarta Commons Specification Proposal at this past Monday’s Tech. Talk (Dec. 13, 2021). You can watch the replay on CrowdCast from this link. This will be available on the Jakarta EE YouTube channel soon.
