EE4J Code Arrives

Monday, January 15, 2018 - 11:51 by Mike Milinkovich

Last week the EE4J project achieved an important milestone when the source code for the API and reference implementation of JSON-P JSR-374 project was pushed by Dmitry Kornilov into its GitHub repository in the EE4J organization. This is the first project of the initial nine proposed to reach this stage.

This may seem like a small step in a very large process, but it is a concrete demonstration of the commitment to move forward with the migration of Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation. The Oracle team and the Eclipse Foundation staff had a ton of work to do to make this possible. This is definitely one of those cases where the visible code contributions are just the visible tip of an iceberg’s worth of effort.

Here are just a few examples of the work that went on to get to this stage:

  • The names of the projects such as Glassfish represent important trademarks in the industry. Oracle transferred ownership of these project names to the Eclipse Foundation so that they can be held and protected for the community.
  • The EMO staff reviewed the projects proposals, ran the project creation review, provisioned the repositories and set up the committer lists.
  • The Oracle team packaged up the source code and updated the file headers to reflect the new EPL-2.0 licensing.
  • The EMO IP staff scanned the code and ensured that all was well before approving it for initial check-in.

Now that the collective team has run through this process with JSON-P we will be working to get the remaining eight initial projects pushed out as quickly as possible. Hopefully by the end of this month. Meanwhile, more projects will be proposed and we will be migrating a steady stream of Java EE projects into EE4J.

Exciting times!
