Hi Gurkan, very good question ;)
We actually debated more places - think half of the discussion was on IRC but there was a thread there as well. Let me try to summurize it. First of all a quick reminder: meecrowave is first OWB+Tomcat+CXF (before being microprofile which is just a buzz word today and doesn't mean more than this). Said otherwise it is the core of any potential server today in a smooth fashion (embeddable, presetup etc). Then in term of where to do it: - incubator: community will be OWB and/or Tomcat and/or CXF -> no point to create a new project with the same community (we kind of get this as an issue for several EE sub projects so we tried to avoid it) - Tomcat: not their philosophy and goal to do more than tomcat scope (JAX-RS and CDI are clearly out of their bounds) - CXF: would be a good place but CDI stays core of meecrowave and not their central knowledge yet - TomEE: no real force there and TomEE has a few big pitfalls like being associated with a full blown server which make most of its subprojects eliminated before being evaluated even if not accurate - OWB: Tomcat/OWB integration is a real plus for OWB, CXF is likely a "?" but the CXF part is not that much in meecrowave, most of the code is Tomcat/OWB integration and config We had the first discusiion on http://markmail.org/thread/vh6x3u7yt6ex2fp2 IIRC Romain Manni-Bucau @rmannibucau <https://twitter.com/rmannibucau> | Blog <https://blog-rmannibucau.rhcloud.com> | Old Blog <http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com> | Github <https://github.com/rmannibucau> | LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/rmannibucau> | JavaEE Factory <https://javaeefactory-rmannibucau.rhcloud.com> 2017-01-09 9:11 GMT+01:00 Gurkan Erdogdu <gurkanerdo...@yahoo.com.invalid>: > Hi all > First of all happy new year! > As I am a founder and keen observer of the project (hope to commit much > more time this year), I would like to ask a question regarding the new > subproject Meecrowave.
