Hi,

In the Java EE 8 survey JCache came out as one of the top prioritised
features. See
https://blogs.oracle.com/theaquarium/entry/java_ee_8_survey_final

If I'm not mistaken JCache would originally have been included in Java EE
7, but just missed the boat and went final a little while after EE 7. So
you could perhaps say that for EE 8 the spec had all the time in the world,
since it was mostly ready before EE 8 even started.

Yet, I don't see much activity regarding JCache and Java EE 8.

If I understood correctly what mostly needs to be done still is the EE
integration. But that too actually seems largely done already.

For the RI and CDI see:
https://github.com/jsr107/RI/tree/master/cache-annotations-ri/cache-annotations-ri-cdi


More specifically for Payara:
https://github.com/payara/Payara/tree/master/appserver/payara-appserver-modules/payara-jsr107/src/main/java/fish/payara/cdi/jsr107

So I wonder, what are the current plans for JCache and Java EE 8?

Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
