Specification Scope in Jakarta EE

Monday, April 8, 2019 - 10:56 by Wayne Beaton

With the Eclipse Foundation Specification Process (EFSP) a single open source specification project has a dedicated project team of committers to create and maintain one or more specifications. The cycle of creation and maintenance extends across multiple versions of the specification, and so while individual members may come and go, the team remains and it is that team that is responsible for the every version of that specification that is created.

How is the Eclipse Foundation Specification Process (EFSP) different from Java Community Process (JCP)?

By now most of you are aware already that Oracle has contributed Java EE specification to open source, and into Eclipse Foundation. The Java enterprise community decided to rename the Java EE specification to Jakarta EE. Part of this huge transition to open source is changing the specification process.

So what exactly is different?
