[FYI] Fw: [PROPOSAL] Apache DeltaSpike - CDI-Extensions project
FYI: The JBoss Seam3 team, Apache MyFaces CODI, CDISource and others are joining forces!
... and will create the Apache DeltaSpike project, a conjointly CDI-Extensions project which will rock the EE world.
Feel free to discuss and help out over at general@incubator.apache.org.
LieGrue,

> 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 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.
>
> Core Developers

>
> Alignment
> ------------
>
> The Apache DeltaSpike project is intended to be portable, and be
> fully compatible with any
> compliant Java EE6 container. To promote the adoption of this project, we
> believe that it is important that it remains free from corporate
> association and is perceived by the community to be vendor neutral. To this
> end, the Apache Software Foundation with its values of
> transparency and community makes it an excellent fit for this project,
> not to mention that one of the contributing members (Apache MyFaces CODI) is
> already an Apache project.
>
> Known Risks
> ------------
>

>> 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.

>> Alignment
>> ------------
>>
>> The Apache DeltaSpike project is intended to be portable, and be
>> fully compatible with any
>> compliant Java EE6 container. To promote the adoption of this project, we
>> believe that it is important that it remains free from corporate
>> association and is perceived by the community to be vendor neutral. To this
>> end, the Apache Software Foundation with its values of
>> transparency and community makes it an excellent fit for this project,
>> not to mention that one of the contributing members (Apache MyFaces CODI) is
>> already an Apache project.
>>
>> Known Risks
>> ------------
>>
>> While many of the contributors to the Apache DeltaSpike project
>> are volunteers, the initial effort of setting up the project
>> and driving ongoing releases may fall to corporate-sponsored members.
>> It is recognized that there may be a slight risk based on the
>> dependence of salaried contributors, however it can safely be said that most if
>> not all of these contributors began as community volunteers
>> that recognized the merit of the project and began contributing as a
>> result of their own passion.
>> Documentation
>> ------------
>>
>> Documentation for the existing projects can be found as follows:
>> * JBoss Seam - http://docs.jboss.org/seam/3/latest/reference/en-US/html/
>> * Apache MyFaces CODI -
>> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EXTCDI/Documentation
>> * CDISource - http://cdisource.org/site/
>> Documentation for the Apache DeltaSpike project would be created by combining
>> and editing material from the
>> above sources, in addition to the writing of new material where
>> required.
>>
>> Initial Source
>> ------------
>>
>> Source code contributions for the Apache DeltaSpike project would be made
>> from its member projects, and the initial goal would be to provide a common
>> core extension which contains a number of features considered essential for
>> building other extensions. Tests for this common core will be
>> developed using the Arquillian integration testing framework, allowing
>> the extension to be automatically tested extensively across various CDI
>> implementations and EE servers in the interest of providing a stable
>> foundation for building other extensions.
>> The ongoing goal of the project will be to gradually incorporate
>> additional features as determined by the PPMC, extending on the
>> foundation features provided by the common core.
>>
>> Source and IP Submission Plan
>> ------------
>>
>> The following resources will be moved to Apache infrastructure under the Apache
>> DeltaSpike project name:
>> * Core JBoss Seam 3 codebase. Seam 3 is already licensed under the Apache
>> License V2.
>> * Seam Core Reference Documentation
>> * Apache MyFaces CODI codebase
>> * Apache MyFaces CODI documentation
>> * CDISource codebase under the Apache License V2
>> The existing Seam, MyFaces CODI and CDISource trademarks will be retained by
>> their respective owners.
>>
