DeltaSpike

20 Mar 2024 [Mark Struberg / Jeff]

## Description:
 Apache DeltaSpike is a suite of portable CDI (Contexts & Dependency
 Injection) extensions intended to make application development easier when
 working with CDI and Java EE.  Some of its key features include:

 - A core runtime that supports component configuration, type safe messaging
 and internationalization, and exception handling.
 - A suite of utilities to make programmatic bean lookup easier.
 - A plugin for Java SE to bootstrap various CDI containers.
 - JSF integration
 - JPA integration and transaction support.
 - A Data module, to create an easy to use repository pattern on top of JPA.
 - Testing support to allow low level unit testing of CDI enabled projects.

## Issues:
 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity
 We are still working on DS-2.0 and got quite a bunch of good contributions
 recently. Commits and mailing list activity increased a lot.

## Community Health
  This increased activity also resulted in adding a new committer.

## Project Composition:
- There are currently 36 committers and 19 PMC members in this project.

## Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Harald Wellmann on 2016-05-19.
- Thomas Frühbeck was added as committer on 2024-02-05

 Work towards releasing 2.0 did continue and we are ready to at least
 put out a milestone release. The prerequisites are now fulfilled
 so we can add back more servers to our test chain.

## Community Health
 We've got a roll-call which got replies from 5 PMC members.
 In the last quarter we havd 3 active committes and quite an increase
 of activity. Sadly there are no new committer candidates on the horizon.

## Releases
 - 1.9.6 was released on 2022-04-12.
 - 1.9.5 was released on 2021-03-10.
 - 1.9.4 was released on 2020-06-12.

## Activity
 Finishing the work on CDI-2.0 was blocked by the relase of OWB.
 With this done we expect a native Jakarta EE release soonish.

## Community Health
 Still a few around, although not as many as we'd love to see.

## Releases

 - A suite of utilities to make programmatic bean lookup easier.
 - A plugin for Java SE to bootstrap both JBoss Weld and Apache OpenWebBeans
 outside of a container.
 - JSF integration
 - JPA integration and transaction support.
 - A Data module, to create an easy to use repository pattern on top of JPA.
 - Testing support to allow low level unit testing of CDI enabled projects.

## Issues:
 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity
 We have been working on 2.0 with JakartaEE-3.0 support and are roughly done.
 Small changes are still waiting to be applied and reviewd though. Expect
 to see a release in the next quarter.

## Community Health
 Still a few around, although not as many as we'd love to see.

## Releases
 - 1.9.6 was released on 2022-04-12.

 - A core runtime that supports component configuration, type safe messaging

 - JSF integration, including backporting of JSF 2.2 features for Java EE 6.
 - JPA integration and transaction support.
 - A Data module, to create an easy to use repository pattern on top of JPA.

 Testing support is also provided, to allow you to do low level unit testing of
 your CDI enabled projects.

## Issues:
 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity
 We have now officially started our work towards a native jakarta release.
 We will likely address JakartaEE9 as baseline and ignore the broken CDI-4.0
 spec parts. Reason is that they broke backward compatibility which already
 did hit us on our list. There is a discussion in the Jakarta Specification
 Committee how to handle these backward incompatible changes, but no solution
 was formed so far it seems. Thus we keep it CDI-3.0 level.

## Community Health
 Community is alive but not huge. Adoption is still reasonable high.
 Sadly no new committers nor PMC members on the horizon.

## Releases
 - 1.9.6 was released on 2022-04-12.
 - 1.9.5 was released on 2021-03-10.

 We get more requests to provide dedicated packages for JakartaEE. Seems legit
 as the route with shade is working, but a bit fiddly.

 If needed there is enough activity. Voting and releases are no problem.
 GitHub contributions are also okish.

 Still okish. We've easily got enough votes on our last release.
 DS is mature but still widely used.

## Activity
 We did work towards a new release with improved Java17 support.
 We should likely investigate how  to best support the
 jakartaee namespace. Right now we automatically provide it via shading.

## Health Report
 We've got a good hand full of votes on our release, so while we are a stable
 project from the feature set we still have an active community.

## Releases

## Activity:
We shipped a release in March and are mostly in maintenance mode.
Sometimes new feature requests pop up which we look at, but nothing
fancy. Statistics say we had a much improved last quarter in terms
of activity. But it doesn't feel like it. It's just if there is some
work to do, then we do it. The next significant steps are the namespace
change from javax to jakarta and a discussion about the long-term vision.

## Health report:
Stable and okish. Enough people around to vote and roll releases for sure.

 Summer time has been quite quiet. Our main activity went to move our
 CI to the new boxes and also added workarounds to our EAR tests for
 a few big EE irons which behave a bit weird.

## Health report:
 Still many active users. But DeltaSpike is really stable, so it most of
 the times just works. We also have a strong eye on backward compatibility
 and don't just rework/rewrite parts for the fun of it.

## Description:
 Apache DeltaSpike is  a suite of portable CDI (Contexts & Dependency
 Injection) extensions intended to make application development easier when
 working with CDI and Java EE.  Some of its key features include:

 - A core runtime that supports component configuration, type safe messaging
   and internationalization, and exception handling.
 - A suite of utilities to make programmatic bean lookup easier.
 - A plugin for Java SE to bootstrap both JBoss Weld and Apache OpenWebBeans
   outside of a container.
 - JSF integration, including backporting of JSF 2.2 features for Java EE 6.
 - JPA integration and transaction support.
 - A Data module, to create an easy to use repository pattern on top of JPA.

 Testing support is also provided, to allow you to do low level unit testing of
 your CDI enabled projects.

## Issues:
 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
 We fixed some security related issues in our JSF module.
 Apart from that we've seen punctual fixes with no new features this time
 around.
 But this is fine for such a mature project.
 DS still has a really good reputation in the industry. We've been serving
 as a blueprint and idea supply for other projects like Microprofile.
 And many of our features even made it back to the CDI specification itself.

## Health report:
 We recently added a new committer. And we are always obsesrving the community
 for more active people. I think community is fine for a project of our age.

## Releases:
 - 1.9.3 was released on 2020-02-05.
 - 1.9.2 was released on 2019-12-16.
 - 1.9.1 was released on 2019-08-19.

## Project Composition:

We expect it in the next 2 weeks. There are user requests
coming in and we react in a decent time frame. We also right now
go through old tickets and clean them up.
With the advent of MicroProfile we got a bit competition, but
overall that's healthy and the communities are working well with
each other.

## Community Health:
We have a new committer and are always actively looking out for new
folks which might be a good addition.

## Issues:

## Activity:
 Activity was still rather low. DeltaSpike is mature and an important
 building block for many enterprise projects. But nothing to worry

## Health report:
 Since jakartaEE must not evolve the javax.* namespace we will probably
 ship a jakarta.* version of DeltaSpike in parallel rather soonish.

## Activity:
 Our activity was pretty low in the last months. I hope we will
 get back to some normal level soon. Otoh we keep on fixing bugs
 if they arise.

## Health report:
 As explained already, many parts of DeltaSpike made it into proper
 EE specs. DS still works great as we are still backward compatible
 and can run 9 years old code. And it has still parts which are really
 unique and outstanding. The MicroProfile initiative also tackles
 some parts of that space.

## Activity:
 We switched to Java8 as minimum requirement in DeltaSpike-1.9.0.
 There have been discussions about JavaEE 8 support, but nothing got
 decided yet.

## Health report:
 Health is basically fine but activity could of course be higher.

## Activity:
 Summer kicked in. So we had a little less activity over the last 2 months.
 Still nothing to be worried. We are trying to get 1.9.0 released in the
 next weeks.
 We now finally switched our codebase to Java8 as minimum requirement
 but will keep an 1.8.x branch for people who are still left with Java7.

## Health report:
 As already mentioned: we have a stable user base and are mostly doing small
 enhancements right now.

## Issues:
 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
 Activity is fine. We had quite some discussions in the Config
 area. They derived from discussions at the ConfigJSR (JSR-382)
 which took over the core design of DeltaSpike. We had 1 person
 taking part in the discussion over there whereas in DeltaSpike
 I really got a hand full of people giving feedback. So we ended
 up implementing the feature in DeltaSpike first and then porting
 it back to ConfigJSR (as it's also ALv2). This will be in the
 upcoming 1.9.0 release.

## Health report:
 Health is ok. The project is already very stable and probably
 had it's peak. A BUNCH of features we have in DeltaSpike since
 almost forever have now been directly made part of the respective
 JSRs. E.g. CDI.current(), JSF CDI support etc.
 We still add a lot of additional value and we allow to make the same
 code run on JavaEE6 to EE8++! This is something big companies love.

## Description:

  Apache DeltaSpike is  a suite of portable CDI (Contexts & Dependency
  Injection) extensions intended to make application development easier when
  working with CDI and Java EE.  Some of its key features include:

  - A core runtime that supports component configuration, type safe messaging
  and internationalization, and exception handling.
  - A suite of utilities to make programmatic bean lookup easier.
  - A plugin for Java SE to bootstrap both JBoss Weld and Apache OpenWebBeans
  outside of a container.
  - JSF integration, including backporting of JSF 2.2 features for Java EE 6.
  - JPA integration and transaction support.
  - A Data module, to create an easy to use repository pattern on top of JPA.
  - Quartz integration

  Testing support is also provided, to allow you to do low level unit testing of your CDI enabled projects.

## Issues:
   There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

   Apache DeltaSpike is a portable JSR-299 CDI
   (Contexts and Dependency Injection for Java) Extension library
   which contains lots of useful tools and helpers
   which are missing in the CDI core spec.

   DeltaSpike is not a CDI-container itself, but a portable
   Extension library which can run on all CDI-containers!

   DeltaSpike is tested and runs on many Java EE Servers like
   Apache TomEE, Red Hat JBoss Application Server, JBoss Wildfly,
   Oracle WebLogic, Oracle Glassfish, IBM WebSphere, and also on
   simple Servlet containers like Apache Tomcat or Jetty in combination
   with either JBoss Weld or Apache OpenWebBeans.

## Issues:

   There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

   We receive contributions from the community on a regular basis.

   In 1.6.0 we added new concurrency features (@Locked, @Throttled,
   @Futureable) and the ability to add interceptors via @EnableInterceptors
   to CDI producers, which is not available in the CDI specification yet.

   We are currently voting on a new PMC member, a new commiter and plan that
   DeltaSpike 2.0 will target CDI 2.0 / Java EE 8 only. DeltaSpike 1.x will
   continue to support both Java EE 6 and Java EE 7.

Shepherd notes:

15 May 2013 [Mark Struberg / Roy]

Apache DeltaSpike is a portable CDI Extension Library (Java JSR-299).
It contains a purely JavaSE based core plus a few modules for JavaEE.


Project Status:
DeltaSpike graduated 3 weeks ago and we are still in transition
(INFRA-6178). This is our first TLP report.


Releases:
We are currently working on 0.4 release preparations.
After that pretty big release we'd like to establish a
bi-monthly release schedule.


Community:
The DeltaSpike community is stable and pretty active.
We have regular commits from a handful of people and even
more people discussing on the mailing lists.
There are a few new people on the list already.


Issues

There are no issues that require the board's attention.

IPMC comments:
 Dave Fisher: AFAIK Documentation is not a graduation requirement.
              I was frustrated with the documentation because the lack makes
              it hard to understand the project, but that is not a blocker.
              I think the project should start working on graduation soon.
