I'll also request a tarball in a couple of weeks, to ensure there isn't some detail lost that we'll need. Not sure what is causing the delay for 275, but I think java.net is already understaffed ...

I haven't heard an official directive yet, but I did hear that it would be going away.

We don't have all that much stuff there, and we're already mirroring the mailing lists at Google, so I think mostly what's required is to migrate our repo master to GitHub and ensure that email traffic continues to be properly directed. I should have the new repos set up very shortly, looking into the email stuff now.

I guess there are also a few official documents, etc., like the original proposal and specs we eventually generate -- I'll look into what's required there as well.

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
