Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. Regarding the API - the intent is be able to use a "code-first" approach - i.e. write your object model in Java using annotations similar to JAXB/JSON-B/etc. as necessary - write your business logic (CRUD operations) similar to JAX-RS resource methods. That would allow the user to generate a schema file. Most of the GraphQL Java implementations that I have seen have a "schema-first" approach which leads to a lot of duplication of effort.
Regarding the underlying implementation (whether to use graphql-java or not), that question was asked in the last MP project meeting, and we decided that it would be considered an implementation detail. My opinion would be to use graphql-java as a starting point, and only write something from scratch if we find major limitations with it. As far as timeline goes, I think it will be a while before we start work on the implementation. The MP project is just getting started, and I suspect it will take a while to work out the spec work.
