There is a discussion and vote going on the Jakarta EE side of the fence as to if the following APIs should be moved from javax into jakarta namespaces.
- JAXB (javax.xml.bind -> jakarta.xml.bind) - JAX-WS (javax.xml.ws -> jakarta.xml.ws) What "move" means is these APIs would be able to continue to evolve. If they are not moved, they could still be supported but will be frozen forever. At this time there is no intention of revisiting the topic in future Jakarta EE versions and migrating things later; it's been explicitly and widely voted down. So if JAXB and JAX-WS were to have a future in jakarta.xml.* that would need to happen during Jakarta EE 9. As this is the project at Apache that implements JAX-WS: - Is there anyone who has ideas or desires to improve JAX-WS? - If they were migrated: - Would javax.xml -> jakarta.xml changes be welcome? - Are there people willing to help or do the work? Do people have any thoughts, questions or preferences? -- David Blevins http://twitter.com/dblevins http://www.tomitribe.com
