Hi all,

You can find the current EE11 status here: [1].

The only remaining item on our EE11 implementation list is OpenJPA =
(which doesn't implement a few other JPA 2.x and 3.x features anyway), =
but it would work.

The OPENJPA-2940 branch that passes the TCK hasn't been merged yet, but =
the OpenJPA folks are working on ironing out some niche quirks across =
the various DBMS out there.

A few questions from my side:

1.) How do we want to proceed? What should we tackle next before going =
for a first TomEE 11 release? Should we aim for Platform TCK coverage? =
(Note: we didn't do this for TomEE 10.0.x or 10.1.x due to resource =
constraints.)

2.) Should we cut a milestone release to gather feedback, or go straight =
to 11.0.0? ;-) Given our history, we could also do an M1 first (without =
OpenJPA JPA 3.2 support) and collect feedback that way.

Happy to hear your thoughts and get a discussion going.
