Hi Brett,
I looked at ibiblio and found some "official-looking" jars checked in. It seems that we might use javax.jdo as the group name for the jdo2.jar (this is the official API) once JDO is official, and then use either org.apache.jdo or org.apache.db.jdo as the group name for the rest of the release.
Sounds good - it will the RI, right?
Actually, there are four parts to a JCP project: the spec itself, the API, the RI, and the TCK. The spec is under JCP rules, the API is in Apache, as is the TCK. The RI is being developed as a separate open source project (JPOX). That's what we've done with servlet/jsp api from Tomcat (I assume that's what you are referring to - please let me know if there are any other non-distributable "official-looking" JARs that our block list missed :)
I'm not the expert on what jar files should be blocked, but I know that we have permission from Sun to distribute JDO under Apache license. So there should not be any issues there.
If the group name is intended to reflect the actual root package name, then org.apache.jdo would seem correct. If it's not, perhaps someone can offer some pointers to where the discussion took place so I could understand it better.
This is a purely policy decision - I went with the project name in my original proposal (basically matching the subversion structure), but Jakarta Commons folks preferred to keep the shorter name that matched the package which makes sense. Especially given that jdo is unlikely to crop up as a different project outside of DB, org.apache.jdo sounds fine.
Good. The "official" package prefix org.apache.jdo is actually shorter than the project name org.apache.incubator.jdo or org.apache.db.jdo. So we'll plan to use group id org.apache.jdo. And it sounds like as long as we include SNAPSHOT in the artifact id we should be able to publish on the apache web site (not the ibiblio site until official approval).
Thanks,
Craig
Thanks! - Brett
