I can't speak for the MR/spec lead, but I interpreted the given list as
just an initial list of issues that seem likely. For clarity this list is:
* CDI support in attribute converters
* Meta annotations
* Repeating annotations
* Date/time support
* Stream support in queries
* JPQL/SQL string from Query
* Autocloseable for entity manager/factory (for Java SE)
* Pagination support for JPQL and Criteria
* Creating criteria from query
* Subquery(entityType) to criteria
* Query metamodel by entity name
* NoSQL
* Multitenacy
The "problem" is of course that it's a MR, not a full spec revision with a
selected EG etc. And a MR has a limited scope and doesn't have an official
EG etc. I'd rather seen an official full release given the amount of issues
that are still open for JPA and the fact that JPA is arguably one of the
most important specs in Java EE (I'd personally say it's only second to
CDI).
Yet, a MR is better than nothing.
Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
