[bv-dev] Towards Proposed Final Draft and Final Approval Ballot

Hey all, As you probably noticed, Bean Validation 2.0 has passed the Public Review successfully [1]. That's a very important step and a great result -- thanks a lot for all your work to make it happen! There's not much time to celebrate (yet) though, as the timeline -- as dictated by the overall schedule for Java EE 8 -- going forward to the Final version is tight. We made a good dent on clarifications and clean-ups on the spec and the TCK in the last days (kudos to Guillaume!!!). The remaining open issues assigned to 2.0.0.CR1 (= PFD) and 2.0-next (=Final Approval Ballot version) are mostly cosmetics and administrative things [2]. So I would like to submit the Proposed Final Draft to the JCP mid next week and submit to the Final Approval Ballot at the beginning of July. Please let me know if you have any objections on that planning or see any further issues we should address prior to the Final. Also, if you haven't done so yet, it'd be a great thing if you could spend some time and check out the diff with all the changes since Bean Validation 1.1: http://beanvalidation.org/latest-draft/diff-to-1.1/ Any feedback on ambiguities, missing or incorrect pieces, typos, formatting issues etc. is welcomed very much. If you let me know about your findings by Monday, I'll have a chance to incorporate any suggestions for the PFD. Thanks a lot and looking forward to finalising Bean Validation 2.0, --Gunnar [1] https://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/results?id=5998 [2] https://hibernate.atlassian.net/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20BVAL%20AND%20...
