Partly because most of the MVC committers not only Spec Leads were drawn
fom JAX-RS I suspect.
About microprofile.io it remains to be seen what Oracle really does about
Java EE 8 as announced recently. If Java EE 8 gets more than the 2 profiles
it has right now, then I'd say it would have reached its primary goal :-)
There are certainly things to do there, proof of concept or real life demo
cases we already see, but unless Oracle was to give up Java EE I don't see
any actual profile to be defined or specified there.
Since java.net and kenai.com are going away, maybe Adam Bien might also
rescue his Java EE patterns
https://kenai.com/projects/javaee-patterns from
Kenai to e.g. microprofile.io, so backed by the obvious GitHub it's
certainly a good replacement for things done on java.net or kenai.com
earlier.
Of course you're right, and we saw that in other JSRs like the soon
withdrawn 351 (Identity Management) or seemingly more important 375
(Security) that although IBM, Red Hat or Tomitribe (who did start in a
rather helpful way) are involved there as well, it's only up to a few
"small" members like Arjan, Ivar or myself to keep JSR 375 alive.
And e.g. one of the companies that pushed microservice.io Paraya does not
even seem to be in the JCP at the moment. So it seems to be taking out of
Glassfish without contributing back to the underlying standards as of now;-|
Correct me if I'm wrong but after JSR 364 went live I assume the member
directory should be rather up to date now.
