Apache BVal Report March 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:

  • We have lately been working to support our 2.0.0 release from last fall. Most notably this release, which rewrote a large portion of the codebase, is quite slow compared to the reference implementation of the Java Bean Validation (BV) specification so our near-term efforts will revolve around making improvements in that regard.
  • The 2.0.1 release described in last quarter's report as being in planning has not yet occurred. To remind the reader, one of the main purposes of the release would be to enable the proper tooling 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 must be admitted that the available time for this project among this pool of resources is suboptimal; we continue to do what we can.
