I know as EG member, that JSR 374 (
https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=374) JSON-P has been "reasonably active" and it also produded an EDR 1 last year. So did 365 (
https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=365) where I'm also in the EG. CDI 2 is preparing for EDR 2, it should get one likely around or before JavaOne, at least that's how it sounded in the last conf call with Antoine and other EG members. With that respect JAX-RS (
https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=370) ist clearly the least active (not sure, if it has to do with me not being in the EG, but I can't be in every single one;-) It faced Renewal Ballot and has not published an EDR since. JIRA shows, 1 issue was created in the last 30 days. It's certainly better off than say 373 (with zero ever since;-O) but compared to 365 or 374 it is the least active of the 3 which are mentioned to be rather essential.
It does make the impression, that the same people at Oracle who are involved in MVC 1.0 (
https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=371) including the same Spec Lead are simply overwhelmed with doing 2 JSRs at the same time. Despite being a Spec Lead myself and having a day job I offered help to MVC, but they declined saying "they already have too many people in the EG". Looks like a "sexy, shiny" EG attracted a few more folks and that's why underlying JAX-RS suffers not only the current lack of resources and people at Oracle;-|
Again I can't be in every JSR but I am sure, I wasn't the only one they turned down when they still thought "We can do that on our own"...
Kind Regards,
