[jira] [Commented] (TAMAYA-169) streamline the API and work towards a JSR proposal

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAMAYA-169?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15400845#comment-15400845 ] 

Werner Keil commented on TAMAYA-169:
------------------------------------

It's not a bug if an API is either not modular enough or seems "too big". There are plenty of real life use cases (connecting to Consul or other popular config servers) that Tamaya (API+Core implementation) supports, so a bug would be some of them broken or not working any more.

The GitHub mirror is more flexible to show branches, so I assume you plan to help with this branch: https://github.com/apache/incubator-tamaya/tree/tamaya-next

Tamaya is a result of the JCP EC not finding enough working use cases for configuration to consider standardizing it when discussed by Anatole and others. It's the PoC, not the JSR and except maybe in a future release acting as Reference Implementation, JSR development will not happen here at Apache Tamaya IMHO.

Ok, the only exception could become, if other JSRs like 362 (Portlet 3) were forced to move their public API to an Apache repository, then an example case for that would exist. Until then, https://github.com/java-config could be the right place for an API.

> The current Tamaya API is a tad too large to be easily understandable. It contains many nice features, but many of them are not core-features.
> I'd like to provide a very minimal set of absolutely necessary classes and interfaces.
