Apache BVal Report March 2017

  • 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:

  • None to speak of this quarter, which is normal for BVal: occasionally there is a frenzy of activity to effect a release, but these are punctuated by relative silence. As mentioned in previous reports, the specification process for Java Bean Validation 2.0 proceeds and seems to be nearing completion. There will be a resumption of activity in this project in response to that.

Health report:

  • The project staff remains busy elsewhere, for the most part. BVal is curated on a obligation basis more than anything else at this point. It is perhaps not the ideal scenario for project health, but it remains tenable.
