J2EE is now called Java EE
--------------------------
Key: MNG-2564
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2564
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation: Guides
Affects Versions: 2.0.4
Environment: Maven 2 Web Site
Reporter: Markus KARG
Priority: Trivial
The Maven 2 Web Site contains tips on naming Sun's technologies:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-coping-with-sun-jars.html
It contains the following line:
J2EE javax.j2ee j2ee
Actually Sun's Bill SHANNON (= Spec Lead of Java EE 5) told me that "they" (=
Reference Implementation team aka "Glassfish" team) are working on publishing a
javaee.jar (= open sourced APIs) as a Maven 2 project. In that context he said,
that the abbreviation "J2EE" is obsolete and the often seen "JEE" abbreviation
in fact is disliked (or let's say: forbidden). Since the official release of
"Java Enterprise Edition v5", the official abbreviation is "Jave EE".
So I want to suggest that the above-mentioned document gets changed to contain
the following line from now on:
JavaEE javax.javaee javaee
