JSR-317 : JPA 2.0

[Geir Magnusson <ge...@10gen.com>]

The vote for the public review ballot for JSR317 is currently going on.

On behalf of the ASF, I voted "no" as the spec lead is Sun  
microsystems and from the POV of the ASF, they are not in compliance  
with the JSPA - the governing rules of the JCP.

THe comment I made along with the vote is :

   The Apache Software Foundation's vote is based on the
   point of view that this spec lead - Sun - is in violation of the JSPA

     http://www.apache.org/jcp/sunopenletter.html

   and therefore shouldn't be allowed to start another JSR until the  
above matter is resolved.

   This vote is not a comment on the technical merits of the JSR.  If  
not for the issue
   of the spec lead, the ASF would have otherwise voted "yes".


I can tweak the comment if anyone feels strongly.

+1. Hope it happened early enough for others to take notice.

And I was thinking along the lines of Fitzgerald's compliments to Blaggo :)

If there is a statement of no FOU restrictions, I'd add the ASF's
appreciation of that statement to the vote comments.  Otherwise looks
good.
