Antonio/all,
While I could have a few other duties, Codegarden related to JSRs like 354
or a Security Expert panel (where Ron did invite other interested Java EE
EG Members, too I recall, not just those of the 351 EG[?]) or JCP.next, I'd
be more than happy to participate in such a discussion.
Don't forget, the PR and Marketing guys often try to blow things out of
proportion with little or no technical relevance behind it. So calling
"Java EE 7" "cloudish" is probably as valid or credible as claiming that
"JSR 350 - State Management" was a pillar of it (while in reality it should
play an important role for EE 8 and beyond[?])
I believe it must have been this famous town hall talk between Scott and
Larry 7 years ago http://eucalyptus.ulitzer.com/node/170925 when it was
announced by both Oracle and Sun PR channels, that with immediate effect,
JDeveloper shall be based on NetBeans. It only happened this year approx. 7
years later[?]
Similar with the Social approach. Last year, at JavaOne this Social
Hackathon was announced:
https://blogs.oracle.com/socialspotlight/entry/announcing_hackathon_for_social_developers
The 1 man project Oracle SocialLink was widely abandoned and has 9 members
at java.net. One, 2 at most ever touched the code. Agorava which as
mentioned could be seen more in the tradition of Hibernate or Arquillian
(all started in the Open Source community, some, like Hibernate later at
least partly contributed to Java standards like JPA or EJB3) has a little
over a dozen https://github.com/agorava?tab=members and roughly 7-10
actually do contribute code (not all from a single company[?])
@Markus sure progressing existing ones makes sense, but a "let's focus on
the existing old stuff" attitude towards let's say new fresh approaches and
(compared to some of the others) relatively small JSRs like 330 or CDI on
top of it, probably would have made EE 7 look a lot different than it does
now[?]
I didn't mention JSRs like 275, but those who also seriously look into the
worlds of Node.js or Vert.x last Saturday's Copenhagen Node.js Hackathon
again reminded me, JSR-275 was highly influential to what seems the only
serious Units of Measurement module for Node.js, called MCO

(Mars Climate Orbiter, somebody must have a rather wicked sense of humor[?])
