Hi!

JBoss, The Apache MyFaces CODI team and CDISource would like to propose the 
Apache DeltaSpike project to the Incubator.

We have added the initial proposal to the Wiki[1] and its content is also 
included
below for convenience.
There are already a few people who expressed interest in contributing 
additional CDI Extensions and would like to join this effort. Of course, we are 
thankful for every helping hand!


We are looking forward to feedback and/or questions on the proposal.

Apache DeltaSpike Proposal
==



Abstract


Apache DeltaSpike is a collection of JSR-299 (CDI) Extensions for building 
applications on the Java SE and EE platforms. 

Proposal


Apache DeltaSpike will consist of a number of portable CDI extensions 
that  provide 
useful features for Java application developers. The goal of  Apache DeltaSpike 
is to create a de-facto standard of extensions that is  developed and 
maintained by the Java community, and to act as an  incubator for 
features that may eventually become part of the various  Java SE and 
EE-related specifications. 

Background


One  of the 
most exciting inclusions of the Java EE6 specification is  JSR-299, 
Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) for Java. CDI builds on  other 
Java EE specifications by defining a contextual component model  and 
typesafe dependency injection framework for managed beans.  It also  
defines a SPI that allows developers to write portable “extensions” that can be 
used to modify the behaviour of the Java EE platform, by  
offering additional features not provided by the platform by default. 
Apache DeltaSpike builds on this portable extensions SPI by providing 
baseline  utilities and CDI Extensions which form the base of almost all 
CDI  applications. 

Rationale


There  presently exists a number of open source projects that 
provide  extensions for CDI, such as Apache MyFaces CODI, JBoss Seam3 
and  CDISource.  Apache DeltaSpike seeks to unify these efforts by creating  an 
“industry standard” set of extensions, combining the best core  features of 
these projects. The 
project also aims to provide a rich,  JBoss Arquillian based (license: 
ALv2), test environment to ensure that DeltaSpike portably runs in all 
important CDI environments. 

Initial Goals


The initial goals of the Apache DeltaSpike project are to: 
* Setup the governance structure of the project 
* Receive code donations from contributing members 
* Ensure all donated code is appropriately licensed under the Apache 
License 
* Merge and rename code to reflect new project name 
* Merge code where feature overlap exists 
* Merge or produce documentation for all modules 
* Provide simple examples demonstrating feature usage 
* Produce release/s based on a schedule created by the PMC 
* Attract contributions from the greater Java EE community and other Java 
EE development groups 

Current Status


The  initial codebase for Apache DeltaSpike will be populated with mature  code 
donations from project members, including JBoss Seam3, Apache MyFaces CODI and 
CDISource. 

Meritocracy


All  
contributors have a well established history in the open source  
community and are well aware of the meritocracy principles of the Apache 
Software Foundation. 
Currently the Seam3 project is fortunate to receive the majority of its code  
contributions from its large community of users.  Many of the modules  
that are contained in the Seam project are led by volunteers from the  
community, who have both direct commit access, and discretion over the  
direction of their modules. 
Apache MyFaces CODI is a subproject of Apache MyFaces and thus 
all  contributors are already familiar with the meritocracy principles. 
The CDISource project has adopted the principles of meritocracy by the  
founding developers having control of different modules depending on  
their contribution to those modules. 

Community


The  JBoss Seam, Apache MyFaces CODI and CDISource projects already have  well 
established communities, consisting of many active users 
and  contributors.  One of the primary 
goals of the Apache DeltaSpike project  is to unify this community, and by 
creating a project that is a “single  source of truth” for CDI Extensions.  By 
doing this, we hope 
to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts,  i.e. to 
attract a much stronger

Yes, we reached out to them quite a while ago (informally). Board was also 
involved. 


Also please note that almost all of the involved contributors are long time GIT 
users already!
I also have personally reserved quite a few days to help out Infra with setting 
up the environment.

Background


One  of the 
most exciting inclusions of the Java EE6 specification is  JSR-299, 
Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) for Java. CDI builds on  other 
Java EE specifications by defining a contextual component model  and 
typesafe dependency injection framework for managed beans.  It also  
defines a SPI that allows developers to write portable “extensions” that can be 
used to modify the behaviour of the Java EE platform, by  
offering additional features not provided by the platform by default. 
Apache DeltaSpike builds on this portable extensions SPI by providing 
baseline  utilities and CDI Extensions which form the base of almost all 
CDI  applications. 

Rationale


There  presently exists a number of open source projects that 
provide  extensions for CDI, such as Apache MyFaces CODI, JBoss Seam3 
and  CDISource.  Apache DeltaSpike seeks to unify these efforts by creating  an 
“industry standard” set of extensions, combining the best core  features of 
these projects. The 
project also aims to provide a rich,  JBoss Arquillian based (license: 
ALv2), test environment to ensure that DeltaSpike portably runs in all 
important CDI environments. 

Initial Goals


The initial goals of the Apache DeltaSpike project are to: 
* Setup the governance structure of the project 
* Receive code donations from contributing members 
* Ensure all donated code is appropriately licensed under the Apache 
License 
* Merge and rename code to reflect new project name 
* Merge code where feature overlap exists 
* Merge or produce documentation for all modules 
* Provide simple examples demonstrating feature usage 
* Produce release/s based on a schedule created by the PMC 
* Attract contributions from the greater Java EE community and other Java 
EE development groups 

Current Status


The  initial codebase for Apache DeltaSpike will be populated with mature  code 
donations from project members, including JBoss Seam3, Apache MyFaces CODI and 
CDISource. 

Meritocracy


All  
contributors have a well established history in the open source  
community and are well aware of the meritocracy principles of the Apache 
Software Foundation. 
Currently the Seam3 project is fortunate to receive the majority of its code  
contributions from its large community of users.  Many of the modules  
that are contained in the Seam project are led by volunteers from the  
community, who have both direct commit access, and discretion over the  
direction of their modules. 
Apache MyFaces CODI is a subproject of Apache MyFaces and thus 
all  contributors are already familiar with the meritocracy principles. 
The CDISource project has adopted the principles of meritocracy by the  
founding developers having control of different modules depending on  
their contribution to those modules. 

Community


The  JBoss Seam, Apache MyFaces CODI and CDISource projects already have  well 
established communities, consisting of many active users 
and  contributors.  One of the primary 
goals of the Apache DeltaSpike project  is to unify this community, and by 
creating a project that is a “single  source of truth” for CDI Extensions.  By 
doing this, we hope 
to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts,  i.e. to 
attract a much stronger community than that which currently  exists 
across the separate projects.  To this end, it is a goal of this  
project to attract contributors from the Java EE community in addition  
to those from the three projects already mentioned.
