Agenda and Minutes

Jakarta EE 10 Status (standing agenda item)

  • Glassfish 7 released a milestone 7.0-M1 in maven central. Available from Eclipse download.

  • Jakarta Common Annotations 2.1 release:
    • 2.1 was released to the staging some time ago.
    • Need to discuss in the spec committee regarding the release
    • Need an implementation to prove whether the release is okay.
    • @RolesAllowed, @Priority, @PostConstruct and other annotations are to be tested.
    • @DatasourceDefinition annotation is not used by multiple places
    • Debugging spec falls into the similar category.
    • Use Glassfish as the compatible implementation.
  • Scott to create Interceptor 2.1 plan review and provide a release candidate
    • On the staging repo, Arjan to delete delete 2.1-RC1, 2.0.1-RC1
    • Create 2.1-RC1: pull in common annotations; module-info \

[Emily] @Priority Survey

  • @Priority Survey result

  • In summary, the top options are:

    • Do nothing: 22.4%
    • Define a new annotation such as @Ranking (highest number means high priority): 22.4%
    • I think this survey result can influence the design for the new Jakarta Commons to define a new API that supersedes @Priority annotation.

[Emily] New TCK namespace discussion

  • Do we allow jakarta.* for the new TCKs in Jakarta EE 10?
    • JSON-B, JSON-P and Restful Web Services are affected
    • Platform restriction: add limitation not to use jakarta.* for application
  • TCK namespace convention survey used for new TCKs of Jakarta EE 11 and onwards

[Lukas] Format and content of the jakarta.<spec>-tck artifact

  • zip with tests + user guide + documentation etc

  • jar with tests only and user guide + documentation etc elsewhere (on the web/spec page?)

  • If tests use test implementation, where to put an artifact/tests having/using that? (ie tests for the pluggability of an implementation)
