Konu: [PROPOSAL] Apache DeltaSpike - CDI-Extensions project
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.
We already have five mentors, but would very much welcome
additional volunteers to help steer Apache DeltaSpike through the incubation
process.
LieGrue,
strub

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.

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.

The following external dependencies have been identified:
* Apache Maven - Java based build tool - Apache License 2.0, (non-runtime)
* Arquillian - Java EE integration testing framework - Apache License 2.0, (non-runtime)
