Top of mind for Jared, James

  • One new CCR request came in since last week’s meeting: 1245
    • It is an EE 11 CCR
  • OSSRH
    • Project is having issue with deploying two different group IDs in the same project

Jakarta EE 12

  • Week 4 (of 6) for M3 for the platform (ends March 31)
  • Component spec updates
    • REST
      • James did a lot of work last week for REST CDI integration to deprecate @Context, but still needs to push it up
      • Have some concerns that if doing method invoker, would need to include the @Entity on the methods parameters which will be difficult for customers moving to the new version. Would require every method to be updated by the user probably.
    • Data 1.1
      • Liberty has implemented some of the function in beta which is a subset of 1.1-M1’s content
      • Some work is happening in Micronaut as well, but may not have it released in an early release version
      • Do not know about Hibernate’s status for Data 1.1 implementation state
      • Presentation tomorrow afternoon at Javaland that will talk about Data 1.1
    • Yasson (JSON-B implementation)
      • Will want to restart a new ballot with Kyle and James to be additional committers to help get more things happening there to get JSON-B to have updates for EE 12
    • EclipseLink
      • Committers can add new people as needed by nominating them
      • Leaders can retire committers who are not active any longer and possibly leaders as well
      • Dmitry may be the only active leader at this point
      • Leaders can retire themselves as well
    • Concurrency
      • Group ID change discussion from last week
      • Removing enterprise from the group name like other specs are doing
      • Ivar: It is up to the project if they want to do it or not
      • The current plan is to rename from jakarta.enterprise.concurrent to jakarta.concurrency
    • NoSQL
      • No one on the call to discuss the current status of the driver function being added in 1.1 or not. Feels like someone needs to drive the effort to get it in.
  • MP update
    • MP 7.2 targeting July 21, 2026
      • Quarkus is the planned ratifying / first compatible implementation
      • Will support EE 10 and tolerate EE 11 like 7.0 and 7.1

Jakarta EE 11

  • Doing a 11.0.2 Platform TCK version to pull in all the updates over the last 8 months
  • Will start 11.0.3 version that will start with a change to update the persistence testing due to some updates that were done in EE 11 where the EAR lib contains entity class and so does the EJB. Over 3000 tests in the challenge.
