The Java EE Security API has received strong support in the community
and has been making good process as evidenced by its recent Early
Draft. This JSR is now on-track to complete within the Java EE 8 time
frame.
We believe that the Java EE Security API adds value to the Java EE
Platform due to its simplifications and enhancements to platform
security, and should be included as a required technology in both the
Java EE 8 Platform and the Java EE 8 Web Profile.
Please let us know if for some reason you object.
thanks,
