Hi there,
It's great to see some progress. However, there are a few things
in that announcement that puzzle me. Apologies upfront for any
stupid questions, I'm just trying to make sense out of it.
First of all, these project proposals seem to throw both
specifications and RIs into one pot. I guess it makes sense to
create Eclipse projects for implementations such as Tyrus or
Jersey. Are the specifications also planned to be incorporated as
Eclipse projects? Or will there be standardization processes, what
the JSRs with EGs are today? Especially in regard to the overall
platform, which JSR 366 is today. I'm not familiar with what is
planned to be the substitute for JSRs & EGs, but maybe it
makes sense for the Java EE community to see some suggestion there
first.
Do the specifications need to adopt the name Eclipse? In the EE4J
FAQ #7 it says that the intention is to continue to use the former
JCP specification names, such as 'Java API for RESTful Web
Services'. I know that names are what people get religious about,
but still I believe that we should not choose some names for
specifications before the name for what will succeed Java EE (e.g.
Open EE) is carved into stone. IMO 'Eclipse RESTful Web Services
API for Java' is a bad substitute for JAX-RS.
I only checked the Eclipse analog for the JAX-RS so far, but that
refers to JSR 339, which is JAX-RS 2.0, not JSR 370. Since EE4J
should be aligned with EE 8, shouldn't that refer to the current
specification?
Cheers,
Sebastian

All,
I would like to draw your attention to fact that nine new EE4J
project proposals were recently posted on the Eclipse
Foundation's proposal
page. This is the first step to making the migration of
Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation a reality.
The list of proposals is below. There are more details on the proposal
page, or on my blog
post.
Thanks!
Eclipse Tyrus
Eclipse OpenMQ
Eclipse Grizzly
Eclipse Jersey
Eclipse RESTful Web Services API for Java
Eclipse Message Service API for Java
Eclipse WebSocket API for Java
