Hey All, I am derailing this case as it misses the non-controversial requirement for a fast track and would like an email vote on this case by Friday May 15th.
My impression from today's meeting was that LSARC will have a future case that will address the issue of how to publicize interface classifications for jar files and that it was okay for this project team and other teams to optionally ship a man page for a jar file. This would be setting precedent. Below is the proposed verbiage for the opinion. The project team is delivering a man page for the java jar file. It was noted that this is not standard practice as most Java developers look for java documentation via javadocs, not via man. However, others stated that having a minimal man page for a java jar file would allow the interface classification to be visible to the end user and a few other ARC cases have shipped these man pages. This case proposes letting the project team and others optionally ship a man page for a jar file. I vote against. Thanks, Margot
