Re: [jdf-dev] Full set of Java EE APIs in JBoss spec
At this point I guess we just have to decide how much resources we want
to spend on the JBoss specs project. We found some questionable
licensing issues earlier this year which caused us to change the
licenses of the specs project. So one of the priorities for the JBoss
specs project is to do a more thorough code and license review. And it
may be necessary to re-write some of the projects from scratch if we
want to own the copyright.
Another option would be for us to move away from the JBoss specs project
and work more closely with the Geronimo team, eventually just using
their set of specs in JBoss AS. Possibly with our own forked builds of
their jars in case we need to fix something quickly.
With either of these options we also have the issue of some JBoss
projects which control their own spec APIs and would likely not give up
this control. I'm thinking of Hibernate with JPA and Resteasy with JAX-RS.

There's no problem AFAIK, however, the Fedora Java guys are
looking to package things up in Fedora (and that will probably make its way to RHEL) and
they're much better off to use all jars from a single source. Right now that single
source looks to be Geromino instead of JBoss.
