Project purpose and summarization

Project information

The Specifications project is an implementation of the API for Java specifications (EJB, JMS, JAXWS, ...).

Description of the project and its goals

As implementor of some of the Java EE specifications in OW2, we need some kind of control on theses sources (not relying on code provided by others: Oracle, JBoss or Apache). So we need to rewrite the APIs or at least wrap and allow us to fix errors by ourselves.

Targeted audience

Java specifications implemetors are the target audience of this project.
Obvious communities are: OW2 EasyBeans, OW2 JOnAS, maybe OW2 Petals, OW2 JORAM, ...

Supporting team

• Guillaume Sauthier, Bull (guillaume.sauthier -at- bull.net)
• Florent Benoit, Bull (florent.benoit -at- bull.net)

Business model

The code is already available as opensource, we only move that codebase into a top level project in order to grow the developers/contributors community.

User community

No user community identified (maybe the users of the org.ow2.spec.ee:* artifacts in maven could be considered our community  )

Internationalization

No plan for internationalization of the APIs

Roadmap

Most of the Java EE 5 APIs are already provided.
More to come on a per-need basis
