Re: [DISCUSS] Code donations: Sheldon and Chatterbox

[Mark Struberg]

Let's sum this up.

Would the TomEE project make sense as a body to host such 'ee commons' modules? 
Yes, that is one possible option and might work out fine.

Should those 'ee commons' modules get called TomEE-bla? NO, of course not. 
Hack, didn't we learn anything from the past? 
If some say we should not do that at Geronimo because people will confuse the 
reusable parts (G-server independent) with the Geronimo server itself. So what 
is different to doing the same at TomEE? If it is still called TomEE then 
people will get confused the reusable components with the TomEE server again.
 
There must really be a clear distinction between the TomEE server and those 
reusable components, otherwise we will have the same confusion as there was 
with G. With the difference that the Geronimo Server is about to get moved to 
the attic and thus there is now _only_ the reusable parts left at Geronimo.
And the people who showed some activity are committer at Geronimo a long time 
already.

And no worries, the Geronimo server is dead and will not make a comeback. TomEE 
is MUCH better and modern. 
But otoh it doesn't make sense for TomEE to become a flying-train-boat-bicycle.

The TomEE mark is also NOT that important. What really IS important are the 
people!

In all honesty, while the ASF as a whole doesn't have a true strategy, or
expect projects to work to benefit each other, I do think in this situation
it makes a lot of sense to think about the various communities at the ASF
and do some thinking around what makes the most sense for a user of Apache

There are some PMCs that exist to support the implementation of a Java EE

Re: [DISCUSS] Code donations: Sheldon and Chatterbox

[David Blevins]

We can keep any existing ssh code if we like.

In terms of why TomEE, as mentioned here’s are some of the benefits:

 - show the TomEE ecosystem is a bit bigger than just the server
 - provide a clear pattern for “crazy new ideas” to start here that could 
potentially benefit TomEE or other EE related-projects
 - more opportunities to earn commit
 - give the community a boost

We used to get a lot of committers in based on EJB improvements, however since 
that spec has slowed and is not moving forward, I think we need more 
opportunities for people to earn commit.

In terms of G.  Obviously as co-founder of the project and someone who spent 9+ 
years on it full-time under 3 different employers, I have a different 
relationship to the name.  I think it’s great there’s new blood in G, including 
you, imagining a new future for it.  But my heart is really in TomEE.  When I 
look at Geronimo I see my past, when I look at TomEE I see my future.

Everyone is entitled to his or her own goals, hopes and dreams, I just want to 
be clear where my heart is at.

Does it mean we drop the ssh module?

Why ot going incubator to promote the portability of these projects?
(Whatever you do, if tomee subproject it is perceived as tomee bound). Are
they too small?

Why not geronimo subprojects since it is the official umbrella project now
- vs tomee is not until we rediscuss it transprojects.

Really sounds weird to me to try to push it in tomee when we agreed to do
it in G weeks ago, what am I missing?

Sheldon would stay named Sheldon.  Chatterbox would stay named Chatterbox.  
They’d get their own JIRAs.  They’d just be hosted here on you could get to 
them via the tomee.apache.org website.

Re: [DISCUSS] Code donations: Sheldon and Chatterbox

[Mark Struberg]

A few thoughts as mentioned over at the Geronimo list:

Reusable components make sense they are clearly distinctable. The part which 
contains that reusable components imo must get a different brand name than 
TomEE. Otherwise you get the same problem as with Geronimo: people will think 
these parts ONLY work with TomEE and that they are not usable separately.

I don't care if those components are 'managed' by the TomEE PMC, the Geroiniom 
PMC or a new "ASF EE commons". All I want is to have a vibrant community. And 
we have that already. It's just not happening that much on the TomEE list. 

The point is: if some outsiders say that TomEE is not really active then that's 
plain wrong. And of course it's our fault!
There is TONS of activity in Johnzon, OpenWebBeans, etc. And this is all done 
by people who are (most times) also TomEE committers. And it's also done in 
favour of TomEE.

The problem here is: TomEE does a really bad job in pointing out these ties! If 
TomEE would kind of cumulate this progress and make it clear that this makes it 
into TomEE, then it would be much clearer that there is no standstill but 
actually tons of activity.

Interesting reasoning. What about tackling new specs - like mvc - which
dont have yet a home at asf and would more inline with tomee and require
more activity than "done" projects?

I’d definitely want to keep TomEE as the TLP name.  My primary goal is to
grow TomEE the brand and community and TLP with things that might directly
or indirectly help TomEE the server.

At Apache it’s very common for TLPs to have subprojects and not be
renamed.  We can keep the TLP name as-is and foster crazy new ideas.  If
any of them becomes a massive effort in its own right, we spin it out.  APR
was originally an HTTPd subproject.  Ant was originally a Tomcat subproject.

Most subprojects don’t become that big.

We’ve actually had a couple subprojects, like the EJB 2.x to 3x Conversion
Eclipse Plugin Jonathan wrote.  Interestingly, it wasn’t actually working
on OpenEJB itself that got Jon commit, but this “crazy idea” subproject.
I’m not actually sure he had even one commit on OpenEJB trunk when we voted
him in.

Vishwa got voted in working on the build tools and twitter bot.  Smaller
projects seem to be a lot easier for people to digest.  In Jon’s case, the
subproject work encouraged him to dig into OpenEJB and the rest is history.

I’d certainly welcome crazy new EE-related ideas and common libraries that
wanted to start here.  So in that sense, very related.

We’d want them to be in some way beneficial to the TomEE server ecosystem,
directly or indirectly.  They do not need to be TomEE-only components and
can definitely be reusable and have fun unique names.

In terms of at the same time, for me that’s a “no".  There’ve been
discussions in Geronimo specifically on what to do with that project.
Those discussions have been going on for 2 years.  We are not in a position
to tackle that here.  I certainly wouldn’t want us to hold our breath,
because I don’t think anything there will resolve soon and don’t want to

another community.  I’d welcome the code and committers if they wanted to
come over.

We know we need to inject some blood into our community, so that’s the
primary goal.  If it happens to kill two birds with one stone, cool.  If
not, that’s also fine.

In terms of things we can do to make this community more vibrant, making it
easier for crazy new ideas to start here is a great step forward.  I think
we need a couple crazy new ideas to seed that, hence the idea to donate
Sheldon and Chatterbox.

Re: [DISCUSS] Code donations: Sheldon and Chatterbox

[Jonathan Gallimore]

I think this is a wonderful idea. Those two projects show some of the
possibilities of connectors, which is often a bit of an unknown. I think
having those projects as TomEE sub-projects would be great. They are
documented on tomitribe.io so we should think about how we'd want to bring
those over and structure the website for those sub-projects.

The thing that excites me most, though, is the pattern for "crazy new
ideas" as you put it. Having some space and a pattern to contribute those
new ideas sounds like a great way to get more people involved. I have
created some small helper modules that make it a little easier to use
different JMS providers - I have HornetQ and Artemis so far, and could
easily crank out a couple more having worked with JBossMQ, Tibco EMS and
Websphere MQ recently. I know that Daniel Cuhna created a CLI tool at one
point - I'm not sure where that is, but having a welcoming place for
initiatives like that means we can pull those folks into the TomEE
community.

+1 from me. Happy to help in any way I can.

Same thought, for asf it sounds like a G subproject and not sure tomee fits
but not strongly against neither.

Side note: we had a ssh module already which never got attraction - not a
need i guess - so not sure it would get better welcoming this time.

Re: [DISCUSS] Code donations: Sheldon and Chatterbox

[Jean-Louis Monteiro]

Does it mean we'll rename TomEE as a TLP to something else so TomEE can be
a subproject and we will be creating more sub-projects for Sheldon or any
other project?

I have seen a lot of discussions in different Apache projects regarding a
common place for Java EE components (spec jars and common libraries). I
know TomEE has been mentioned a couple of times, as well as other Apache
projects.
Is this a related discussion?
Or should it be tackled at the same time?

Salute and Ack.  Went through that process with a half-dozen code bases in the 
2003-2009 range.  I was a pro then, not sure if my knowledge is dated.

I pushed hard to have them not axe JMS from Java 8.  Of course I’m stubborn, so 
perhaps there is still another way.

Robust test suite would be awesome.  I know Sheldon currently supports Wildfly 
and TomEE.  Jonathan Gallimore put quite a lot of work into it.  Testing wise, 
I think it was mostly manual.  So some increased tests would be good.

Feature wise, there are a handful of things I’d love to see added to Sheldon:

 - ability to use ssh keys instead of passwords
 - ability to execute ‘ssh localhost -p  ’ style commands 
that ssh allows
 - ability to use @RolesAllowed on commands

With those in there, you could do some extremely cool things.  Not that Sheldon 
isn’t darn cool already :)

For 17 years this project has maintained a "users first, committers second” 
spirit.  Committers are one part of and servants to the community.  So the 
short answer is, absolutely, *everyone* who has their heart in the project is 
welcome and *encouraged* to chime in.

You don’t grow a project by treating people who are not committers like they 
are not committers :)  Treat people like they are committers and they soon will 
be.

Don't forget to do IP clearance


I personally think these are awesome projects.  David's been passionate
about this stuff for a long time, and I was really hopefully to get these
MDB enhancements working on the JMS spec, never happened :-(

It would be great to see these at Apache, and hopefully with a pretty
robust test suite showing them working in multiple EE containers.

Don't know if I'm allowed to answer... and my apologies if I wasn't... :-)

But from the point of view of the community, I think it would be awesome.
TomEE has been my default EE server for a long time and it would be great
to see it even more powerful.

Didn't know these projects, but just had a look at them and love it!

[DISCUSS] Code donations: Sheldon and Chatterbox

[David Blevins]

Hi All,

I’d like to open the topic of potentially donating a couple components we’ve 
built over at tomitribe.io to our beloved TomEE project:

 - https://tomitribe.io/projects/sheldon 
 - https://tomitribe.io/projects/chatterbox 


There are couple motivating factors:

 - show the TomEE ecosystem is a bit bigger than just the server
 - provide a clear pattern for “crazy new ideas” to start here that could 
potentially benefit TomEE or other EE related-projects
 - more opportunities to earn commit
 - give the community a boost
