Hi, I reviewed EL 3, and I believe the RI looks more than acceptable (license is GPL+CDDL - as usual, I think -, with good quality). The new spec sources ( https://java.net/projects/el-spec/sources/source-code/show/trunk/api/src/... ) could be imported in the EE specs repository (there is no other compatible EL 3 implementation, so no need to edit or change the ExpressionFactory implementation loading mechanism), while the implementation could be used directly as an external dependency, at least for the time being. Comments ?

I think this makes sense, at least initially. We should probably do some performance testing on it at some point though, from some AS7 weld benchmarks that I have seen in the past the EL implementation was often the bottle neck. I know JUEL is often touted as a much faster implementation, but I don't know if there are any plans to make it EL 3 compliant.

We have seen bugs in the EL around calls to methods with varargs that made it unusable for Bean Validation. We reported it to oracle but I don't know if that has been fixed since. Hardy and Gunnar can comment more accurately than my 10000 feet view. We have been happy with JUEL AFAIR.

I'm not sure I'm following, does that mean you will create a dedicated module for the EL stuff or not? Having our own copy of the EL libs in the HV module works, definitely for the time being. I assumed though that having one EL module which can be used by all EL clients would be beneficial for the sake of the distribution size (admittedly the RI JARs are < 150 KB).

Folks, has there been any progress on the EL 3 front? There was some discussion on this thread this past April but it doesn't seem like we have a plan, and https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-519 remains unassigned.
