[cdi-dev] Configuration

Hi All I would like to give you a short summary on Java (EE) Configuration after haviong discussed things with multiple stakeholders: - There is not enough momentum for SE related JSR as of now. That is basically not that bad as it sounds, since we can still tweak System.getProperties().​ - The current SE related Configuration Proposal (and existing experimental code) is planned to be released into a new Apache Incubator project, where different stakeholders (Walmart, Sixt, Credit Suisse, LJC, SouJava, JUG Berlin Brandenburg, Redhat? ) can help to get that library to top level quality quickly. This way we can quite probably gain further assistance and support and might be able to file a JSR a bit later. This plan is well aligned with people from Oracle as well as Tomitriibe (David Blevins). - In the meantime Oracle proposed, we should take up Java (EE) configuration within CDI 2.0. Reza Razman meant that there were huge cost cuts be one of the reasons, why things were not further evolving there. This could change within the next year again and we should start with the work nevertheless in the meantime. It could even be that there will be some kind of JSR started for this as well. So summarizing, it would be probably a good idea to "restart" the configuration stream, I assume. Unfortunately I will miss the IRC chat this week quite probably due to holidays. -Anatole -- *Anatole Tresch* Java Engineer & Architect, JSR Spec Lead Glärnischweg 10 CH - 8620 Wetzikon *Switzerland, Europe Zurich, GMT+1* *Twitter: @atsticks* *Blogs: **http://javaremarkables.blogspot.ch/ <http://javaremarkables.blogspot.ch/>* *Google: atsticksMobile +41-76 344 62 79*
