Mike Milinkovich of the Eclipse Foundation has recently posted a blog providing an overall update on the status of the project. To summarize:
- We are working on defining a new brand name using the community process described here.
- We have begun the process of moving Oracle GlassFish sources to the EE4J project. So far, Oracle has contributed sources for the following projects:
- Eclipse Grizzly
- Eclipse OpenMQ
- Eclipse Project for JAX-RS
- Eclipse Project for JMS
- Eclipse Tyrus
- Eclipse Project for WebSocket
- Eclipse Project for JSON Processing
- In addition to the above:
- The Eclipse Yasson and EclipseLink projects have been transferred to EE4J, and are now part of the overall EE4J project.
- We have created Eclipse Jersey and Eclipse Mojarra projects and are working on contributing sources for these.
- You can watch (and star!) EE4J project repositories as they are being created in the EE4J GitHub organization.
- Oracle is working on Eclipse project proposals for all of the technologies Mike mentions in his blog: JSON-B API, Concurrency, Security, JTA, JavaMail, JAX-B, JAX-WS, JSTL, UEL, JAF, Enterprise Management, and Common Annotations. We intend to formally propose these projects to the EE4J Project Management Committee (PMC) very soon. One of our major near-term goals is to transfer all of the Oracle-owned GlassFish technologies to EE4J such that we can build "Eclipse GlassFish" from EE4J sources and demonstrate Java EE 8 compliance.
- We are working on establishing an Eclipse Foundation working group to provide a member-driven governance model for EE4J.
In short, there is a lot of positive progress being driven in the EE4J project. For further updates refer to this blog and the links provided above, or subscribe to the ee4j-community mailing list.
Build vs Buy a Data Quality Solution: Which is Best for You? Maintaining high quality data is essential for operational efficiency, meaningful analytics and good long-term customer relationships. But, when dealing with multiple sources of data, data quality becomes complex, so you need to know when you should build a custom data quality tools effort over canned solutions.
