Agenda and Minutes

Jakarta EE 11

• Prepare for release planning
  • Draft a release plan on Jakarta EE Platform Project (eclipse-ee4j.github.io) - Ivar
  • Propose a timeline with milestones
  • Publish the plan to spec projects to get feedback
• Create poll questions for specification projects
  • Do you plan to release a spec version that could be included in EE 11?
  • What Java SE version would your version require (Compatible implementation must pass TCK on SE 21)
  • Do you plan to extract/create a standalone TCK?
  • Draft the poll in a separate document: Ed will start a document
• How to we handle potential new specification to include in the platform
• Are any specifications candidates for moving between profiles?
  • BV to Core Profile?
  • Concurrency to Core Profile?
• Will anything be deprecated in EE 11?
  • Did we deprecate anything in 10 that are candidates for removal?
  • Optional features
• How to handle “stale” specifications
  • Allocate resources? How to do that?
• Standalone TCKs
  • Ensure that they can be run in app server, not only standalone

Service Release 8.0.1

Split out tutorial repositories

• The following repositories are currently under the Platform Project
  • https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-tutorial
  • https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-tutorial-examples
  • https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-firstcup
  • https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-firstcup-examples
• Suggestion: Move this out of the Platform to a more suitable location
  • Decided that this is a good idea. Ivar will proceed

Move platform repositories from eclipse-ee4j to jakartaee GitHub organization

• https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-api
• https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-schemas
• https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/managed-beans-spec
• Suggestion: Do this now before we get too far with Jakarta EE 11
  • Ivar will go ahead and create a ticket to get them moved
  • Remove “-spec” from the managed-beans-spec repository name
