Hi As you probably know JavaEE 7 proposes a new spec called JBatch (aka JSR 352).
I'd love to see an implementation @Apache. There is ATM only one implementation (spring-batch doesn't pass the full TCKs): the RI (done by IBM). AFAIK they doesn't aim to create a community about this spec but their implementation is under the license Apache v2 and starting to implement it from scratch i started to get something very close to them (i just started but seeing my classes so close i decided to stop my impl from scratch and see if forking wouldn't be a better/easier solution). Personally my plan would be to fork their code and clean/update it and create a community around it. About it i have some questions: 1) does it sound good? 2) any interested people? 3) how to process exactly? *Romain Manni-Bucau* *Twitter: @rmannibucau <https://twitter.com/rmannibucau>* *Blog: **http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com/*<http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com/> *LinkedIn: **http://fr.linkedin.com/in/rmannibucau* *Github: https://github.com/rmannibucau*
