Disclaimer: This is not an official EE4J PMC opinion.
This document is a product of my discussion with Oracle Prague development team consisting of engineers actively working on EclipseLink, Yasson. JSON-P, JPA, Metro, Jersey and other projects about technical directions each EE4J project should follow to make Jakarta EE successful.
Continue readingSome people were complained that it’s difficult to find information about all Jakarta EE projects and their transfer status. I collected this information in the table below. For today it’s the most complete and accurate data. Links points to a project home page if the project is created and to a proposal if the project has not been created yet.
As part of a process of transferring Java EE 8 to the Eclipse Foundation, EclipseLink source code repository was moved from Eclipse git to eclipse-ee4j organization on GitHub. It aligns EclipseLink with other EE4J projects and makes it more open to the community.
If you are a committer don’t forget to update your local copy!
| New Location | Old Location | |
|---|---|---|
| Repository | EE4J GitHub | Eclipse git + Mirror |
| Issues Tracker | EE4J GitHub + Eclipse BugZilla | Eclipse BugZilla |
From now on GitHub repository becomes a main working repository. All pull request and code reviews must be done there. Old repository on Eclipse git is switched to read only mode and will be eventually deleted as well as it’s mirror on GitHub.
I am also recommending using GitHib issues tracker for bugs submission the same way as other EE4J projects are doing. The old issues tracker is still active though.
Other project repositories (examples, etc.) will be also moved to EE4J GitHub in the nearest future.
As part of a process of transferring Java EE 8 to the Eclipse Foundation, Yasson source code repository was moved from eclipse organization to eclipse-ee4j organization on GitHub.
Old location:
https://github.com/eclipse/yasson
New location:
https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/yasson
All Yasson committers have to update local working copies.
Today is a big date. I just pushed JSON Processing sources to Eclipse EE4J GitHub repository.
See it live here: https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jsonp
It’s first sources which are actually transferred from Oracle to Eclipse. First two projects (Yasson and EclipseLink) were already in Eclipse Foundation, but under different root project.
More project coming soon! The firsts make history. And the first one was JSON-P!
I am happy to announce that today EclipseLink and Yasson have been transferred under EE4J and officially became first two EE4J projects! EE4J now contains some real Java code and it’s a big step forward!
New projects URLs are:
Yasson: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.yasson
EclipseLink: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.eclipselink
Committers list, mailing list and forum URLs are not changed.
