Ok, it's been a yo-yo day on the Jakarta EE 8 side of the fence as we're nailing down the final spec and dealing with this PR that is attempting to decipher to the world all potentially confusing gaps: - https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-platform/pull/109 The short version of this is that several specifications that were in Java EE 6 were removed from Java EE when those things were added to the JVM. Specifically: - Activation - JAXB - JAX-WS - Web Service Metadata (javax.jws) These were all donated to Eclipse anyway and then famously deleted in Java 11. The long story short, there is no official version from a Java EE 8 specification. For Activation, here's what we're dealing with: - Java 8: Activation 1.1 - Java 9: Activation 1.2 - Java 11: no activation If we shipped an Activation 1.1 jar we would not be breaking Jakarta EE 8 compliance. As we don't need more scope, I recommend we do not delay TomEE 8 to ship an Activation 1.2 jar. -David
