Reza, good to hear from you too.
I'm not at the point where I have a team actively coding. I'm still
just raising issues.
If there were someone outside IBM who was actively looking to get involved
and make progress I'd try to help them along and not hold them back
though...

extension w/ default methods
It is very good to hear from you. Are you spinning up the spec work? If
you are ready to accept it, I would love to help get the word out to get
more folks involved in your spec.

Subject: [javaee-spec users] Introduction; first question on extension w/
default methods
Quick introduction: I'm Scott Kurz from IBM, spec lead for Batch (JSR
352).
We're still planning on getting a Batch 1.1 Maintenance Release update
into EE 8.
In the past, according to this anyway:
https://java.net/projects/javaee-spec/pages/CompatibilityRequirements
it wasn't permitted to add new interface methods to listeners that apps
must implement since it breaks source compatibility.
So with EE 8 requiring Java 8 (hopefully a correct assumption), and with
Java 8's default methods, is it now an option to add new methods with
default implementations,
(assuming the individual specs can define a reasonable default and write
it into the spec)?
Is this the right forum BTW for asking about individual specs' maintenance
release ideas/issues as a part of the bigger EE platform? Or is there
some spec leads forum or something?
Thank you,
