Re: [ee4j-community] Feedback to Joint Community Open Letter on Java EE Naming and Packaging
|
Frankly Oracle is pretty clear on this thread as to what we should view to be an official Java API - an API that prominently features the word Java in both it's brand and package name.
The edge case examples you cite are very small parts of Java SE that reference other open standards because Java SE happens to integrate with those externally defined standards. The vast majority of Java SE and all of Java EE belongs in the java and javax packages - with clear intent for cohesion and consistency.
Trying to bicker otherwise frankly merely serves to derail a legitimate desire by quibbling about an edge case. Ask an average developer what they think an official Java API looks like and the answer is rightfully very straightforward.

What is the "Java official API" ? You mean the SE ones?

I do not think this is blocked by a ee4j top level package name.
Just take JAX-P, the DOM comes from org.w3c and SAX stuff
from org.xml.sax - and still they are part of JavaSE's jre.
So if ee4j.fooBar is useful for JavaSE, it could be proposed
to the JCP for JavaSE and moved there with the existing
ee4j.* package (?)
Sorry If I still misunderstood you.
