I have to second Mike's comments below. There are two paths we
can go
here. We can integrate with the platform (accepting its faults and
trying to fix them) or we can buck the trend and try to build a new
platform. I have been working under the assumption that we wanted to
integrate with the platform. If that's not the case (and we'd better
get this agreed on ASAP), then I can go work on other things and not
worry about this being part of Java EE.
Yes, the goal of 299 is to be an integral part of the EE platform.
Sorry to be blunt here, but I suspect Gavin and others are feeling
a time crunch and we really really need to get everyone moving in
the same direction.
We really need to focus now upon the concrete changes we are going to
make to the specification, and concrete proposals for those changes. I
need to start writing stuff up this weekend.
