Agenda and Minutes

Jakarta EE 10 Status (standing agenda item)

• Continuing work on TCKs at both component and platform/profile levels
• Begin more work on updating the platform/profile specifications this week
• TCK status on the spec committee call tomorrow
• Core Profile TCK
  • Run the TCKs for the individual specifications
  • Documentation must be written (TCK User Guide)
  • What about integration tests?
    • Agreement that we need this
    • A binary must pass these in order to pass Core Profile
  • Passing TCK for Platform and/or Web Profile does not automatically imply that Core Profile is passed as well
  • Core requirement should list the TCKs + container name (previously known as vehicle)
  • AI: Scott Stark look at core profile integration issues around Jakarta RESTful Web Services dependency on a web container
  • CDI full or CDI lite only as requirement?

Discussion Topic for Later (after EE 10)

• Should Core Profile always be a subset of Web Profile?
• Or should we allow them to diverge?
• General TCK requirements
  Reference all of the dependent spec TCK tests (current situation)?
  Ability to reference them partly?
• TCK Refactoring effort involving more contributors
  • Volunteers are welcome

Naming discussion

• What is the rules for voting for changing names
• Rules for singular vs. plural form
• Existing Eclipse Wiki (needs update): https://wiki.eclipse.org/JakartaEE_Maven_Versioning_Rules

Core Profile in general:

• Define target “market”/functionally/scope i.e.:
  • Minimal micro service
  • Native implementation
