My 2 cts We have 3 milestones of the TomEE 7.0.0. People already using it are expecting a final version, and I agree with that.
Tomcat 8.5 already integrated to master brings an important feature HTTP/2 we want to have and offer to our users. Tomcat 8.5 is fully backward compatible with Tomcat 8.x ( x < 5). So I don't see any issue in having TomEE 7.0.0 final released on the master and already integrating Tomcat 8.5. I understand Romain's point to reflect Tomcat jump in terms of version, but having a TomEE 7.1.0 would appear weird if we don't have a TomEE 7.0.0. If we really want to follow Romain's point and reflect the Tomcat versioning jump, I'd go with first a 7.0.0 based on the M3 with a couple of bugfixes but with Tomcat 8.x (x < 5) and also a TomEE 7.1.0 with Tomcat 8.x (x >= 5). So my view is Option 1/ TomEE 7.0.0 with Tomcat 8.x (x >= 5) with HTTP/2 *or* Option 2/ TomEE 7.0.0 with Tomcat 8.x (x < 5) without HTTP/2 + TomEE 7.1.0 with Tomcat 8.x (x >= 5) with HTTP/2 *Side note*: we don't have any Java EE 7 TCK yet and I don't expect it to happen anytime soon. So even if not certified, I'd still go with a final release (non certified) of TomEE Jean-Louis -- Jean-Louis Monteiro http://twitter.com/jlouismonteiro http://www.tomitribe.com On Mon, Apr 25, 2016 at 11:02 AM, Martin Funk <mafulaf...@gmail.com> wrote: > To my impression there are customers out there with an eye on TomEE to get > the JEE 7 certification. > And with the current version scheme they expect the TomEE 7.0 to be JEE 7 > conform, so in > my believe they'd be surprised to see an TomEE 7.1 version before 7.0 is > JEE 7. > They'd expect it to be JEE 7 conforming before bumping up the minor version > number. > > Technically I think I understand the issue and I could explain, if I can > get into discussion with the customer. > The problem are the customers that you can't discuss with, that are scared > of before you get a chance to talk to them. > > mf > > 2016-04-25 10:12 GMT+02:00 Romain Manni-Bucau <rmannibu...@gmail.com>: > > > Le 25 avr. 2016 09:39, "Martin Funk" <mafulaf...@gmail.com> a écrit : > > > > > > A user's opinion here. > > > Getting TomEE to be JEE 7 compliant is a big obstical whereever I go. > > > So releasing a 7.1 before 7.0 is JEE 7 compliant would lead to a big > need > > > of explenaiton. > > > > > > > What does miss in this thread as explanation?
