An airhacks.fm conversation with Kevin Sutter (@kwsutter) about:

working on Jakarta EE 9 and MicroProfile,

IBM is supporting the Jakarta EE programming model,

Oracle participates productively in Jakarta EE development,

the developer and vendor view on Jakarta EE and MicroProfile,

Jakarta EE and MicroProfile separation,

one release of Jakarta EE per year is likely,

Jakarta MVC and NoSQL could become part of Jakarta EE 9,

should MicroProfile Configuration move to Jakarta EE?,

thinking about MicroProfile working group,

MicroProfile focusses on cloud specs,

Jakarta EE is provides the stable infrastructure,

"political is legal",

successful opensource projects are like big companies,

the Eclipse Foundation specification process will work fine for MicroProfile,

Jakarta EE 9 big features,

the Eclipse Transformer,

Eclipse Transformer was used to transform the Jakarta EE TCK,

Eclipse Transformer is used on application servers, but could also be used for applications,

after 20 years of compatibility a breaking change is o.k.,

cleanup happens in Jakarta EE 9,

XML-related services in Jakarta EE 9 are going to be listed as "optional",

microservices and the trend towards monoliths,

micro is not that micro any more,

smallrye becomes the common implementation repository for MicroProfile,

MicroProfile reactive messaging and MicroProfile GraphQL are not a part of MicroProfile platform yet,
