JSR 385 MR1

[Werner Keil]

Hi,

We consider a Maintenance Release of JSR 385 in the next two or three months, most likely after the JCP EC elections and new or reelected members taking their seats.

Please have a look at https://github.com/orgs/unitsofmeasurement/projects/4

There are no real additions to the API except MeasurementError, which is to move from the RI for consistency reasons. It has no impact on the TCK but to throw a simple Error has been a bad practice in some places, therefore throwing a MeasurementError helps to solve that. It also helps to streamline a few specialized Error classes used e.g. for formatting and parsing.

There are a few minor improvements, adding an isEquivalentTo() method to both Unit and Quantity and cleaning up elements or methods that were deprecated before.

While MR1 won't justify a first digit version jump (it's intended as 2.1) there should be room for such improvement and the new elements have been around for over 2 years with another 4-5 JDK generations.

The dynamic annotation resolution e.g. in ServiceProvider shall support Jakarta Inject and Annotations under the new namespace, while all TCK or implementation modules that used the DI JSR before will also be upgraded to Jakarta Inject now.

Kind Regards,

Werner

At least for the code-freeze of API, RI and TCK we aim to release them on November 16, which is the 2nd anniversary of the  vote on the SI Redefinition. 

So beside the actual JSR deliverables we also expect the 2.1 version of SI Units to be ready by then.

Others like the different systems may follow a little later.

We plan to submit the MR 1 of the JSR to the JCP in mid November, so as mentioned the newly elected EC can vote on it before the end of the year, most likely after the EC elections.

Regards,

Werner

Hi,

As it is less than a week before the target date Nov 16, please have another look at the open or active items related to MR1: https://github.com/orgs/unitsofmeasurement/projects/4

This is only for Spec/API, RI and TCK, everything else is planned in a follow-up item "2.1 Release Train" https://github.com/orgs/unitsofmeasurement/projects/5

Thanks and stay safe everyone,

Werner
