I did a small gap-analysis of where we're still short on Java EE 8 APIs from the perspective of our javaee-api jar:
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMEE-2620 Specific callouts are these APIs are also implementations, so switching to the equivalent Jakarta version also gains a compliant implementation: - javax.activation 1.1 vs 1.2 - javax.security.jacc 1.4 vs 1.6 - javax.mail 1.5 vs 1.6 This one is a flaw in my reporting, it's included in Tomcat: - javax.security.auth.message 1.0 vs 1.1 (JASPIC) We should likely use the exact version cxf requires of this: - javax.xml.ws 2.2 vs 2.3 (JAX-WS) These we will likely not be able to change as the corresponding implementations aren't there: - javax.enterprise.concurrent 1.0 vs 1.1 - javax.resource 1.6 vs 1.7 - javax.transaction 1.2 vs 1.3 (JTA) If we ship TomEE 8.0 with just those three lagging APIs, that would be pretty good. Shipping a final with 8 lagging libraries, less fantastic. What do people think about the potential upgrades? -- David Blevins http://twitter.com/dblevins http://www.tomitribe.com
