Agenda and Minutes

Jakarta EE 11 Release Planning

• Release Plan DRAFT
• Discussion whether the drafted timeline is realistic
• The resolution from the Steering Committee indicates to favor a timeboxed release
• We need to ask the spec teams what they would be able to deliver in this timeframe. Then decide if the featureset justifies a release.
• Milestones for component specs will be essential
• Platform milestone release must be added to the timeline (Q4 2023?)
• Investigate how to handle releases of milestones
  1. Publish milestones to Maven Central
• TCK results from runs on vendor infra take too long to get back to projects
  1. If made more easy available for spec projects would potentially speed up the process
