Hi,
It's only a few days till February and in April we heard, java.net will be
gone.
Any plans for moving yet?
The London EC F2F (I had a temporary problem with my "identity" if you want
so joined it all by phone;-) had reports by Spec Leads including Ed Burns.
And with a much longer legacy and history in some of his JSRs (JSF,
Servlet,...) he certainly should be among the most concerned Spec Leads
when it comes to losing all that in 2-3 months.
With the current mirrors of the codebase and GitHub organization JSR 375
seems relatively prepared. User Stories only on JIRA sound like the weakest
point. I send this to both the Java.net alias and Google Group, so mailing
lists also exist in a redundant form.
Will, have you heard an official directive by Oracle (the part that
operates java.net) on how to progress and when is the point of no return?
I requested a tarball and auto-forward from
https://kenai.com/projects/jsr-275/ to a new page under our GitHub
organization for JSR 363, given 275 has record-breaking downloads (>115k
within a year right now) thanks to some projects using it, and we at least
want to preserve its history with such a large user base. Nothing happened,
I did not even get a confirmation email for my request.
So either there is nothing done at all or they are too busy rescuing Oracle
led projects first, can't say. The sources of JSR 275 are secured and
everyhing else like the Wiki or forums who cares, sorry but there is a new
and final JSR now. That's why I tried to use it as "test bunny" but so far
the test did not take place.
Kind Regards,
Werner
