[wildfly-dev] Re: Fwd: [ejb-dev] New release for Jakarta EE 12?

I'm forwarding this to the wildfly-dev list to ensure those of us involved with EJB are aware and can comment. You can blame me for the 'was identified' part re SecurityManager, or at least for pointing out the problematic text section that Jared linked.

Best regards, Brian ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jared Anderson via ejb-dev <ejb-dev(a)eclipse.org&gt; Date: Wed, Apr 9, 2025 at 3:39 PM Subject: Re: [ejb-dev] New release for Jakarta EE 12? To: ejb-dev(a)eclipse.org <ejb-dev(a)eclipse.org&gt;, Edward Burns < Edward.Burns(a)microsoft.com&gt; Cc: Jared Anderson <jhanders(a)us.ibm.com&gt; Community members, I am writing this email to your community now that the April 15 deadline is fast approaching. As of now, a release plan for a next release of your component has not been created or an indication put in the opened issue in my original email to state that you do not plan a release that could be considered for Jakarta EE 12. It was brought to my attention that people may not realize what is being asked to be done when creating a release plan. There is information in the issue provided on the how, but the main point of having a release plan is that we are looking to know that you are planning to do something and whether you are looking at doing a minor release or a major release depending on the types of changes. What is in the release plan that you create can change over time, but at least there is an indication that you are working to make a new release even if you don't know what all will be in it yet. We are not asking for all issues to be created and code, tests, implementation or specs to be updated in order to make a release plan. If you look at the release plans created so far, you will find that some of them are quite vague. They are just saying yes we plan on doing a new version of the component. A release plan also gives an indication to those not in the Jakarta community that work is happening in the specification that they can look forward to and possibly suggest changes. If you need help with making your release plan, please reach out to Ed or me on slack or email. Enterprise Beans was identified as a component that requires a new release in order to remove Java SecurityManager language from the specification at this location <https://jakarta.ee/specifications/enterprise-beans/4.0/jakarta-enterprise... . If there are no other things to be added to a release plan for Enterprise Beans, that is ok. It can just be a very minor release to update the specification to remove SecurityManager references.

Community members, *Executive Summary* 1. See issue #153 <https://github.com/jakartaee/enterprise-beans/issues/153>;. a. If you don't plan to have a new version for your specification in EE 12, just close the issue. b. If you plan to have a new version, use the issue to create a release plan by April 15, 2025. 2. See this dashboard <https://github.com/orgs/jakartaee/projects/17> where the component release plan issues are tracked. *Details* On Monday I opened issue #153 <https://github.com/jakartaee/enterprise-beans/issues/153> in your repository to request your community to consider a new release of your component for Jakarta EE 12 by creating a new release plan. The issue contains a lot of details that explain what to do to create a release plan. You can use the issue to document initial thoughts and reference other issues in your repository as you work out what you want to include in a release plan. A dashboard in GitHub was created to track the status of the release plan issues. The dashboard, located here <https://github.com/orgs/jakartaee/projects/17>;, contains both a Board and Table view of the release plan issues. What is being asked of each community is to decide on if you plan to have a new release to be considered for EE 12 or not. If not, closing the issue will move it to the final column on the dashboard. If you are planning to have a new version of your component for EE 12, please follow the instructions in the issue by April 15, 2025 in order to get your issue moved to the second column for your mentor to look at the issue and get it ready for a plan ballot. You will see that your issue in the board includes the name of the mentor that was assigned to your component in EE 11.
