Apache BVal Report June 2019¶

• The Apache BVal project implements the Java EE Bean Validation specification(s) and related extensions, and became a top-level project of the foundation on February 15, 2012.

Issues:¶

• There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

Activity:¶

• Over the past quarter the team has managed to put out a needed point release, despite a precipitous drop in the availability of the chair.

• We have accumulated a new committer/PMC member.

• Finally, we have seen recent community participation that during the next quarter will, in all likelihood, result in releases on both the 1.x and 2.x development lineages.

• It remains an open task to certify Apache BVal as an implementation of the 2.0 BV specification.

Health report:¶

• We retain a small core of developers with the desire to keep this project afloat. It is not clear how to attract additional hands other than to trust that the right people for this niche project will find their way.
