0.3 of JSR107:javax.cache released

0.3 of the JSR107 spec, RI and TCK have been released.

Changes in this release:

  • Numerous changes across the spec, TCK and RI
  • Annotations implementations in the RI for Spring and CDI
  • Transactions API finalised
The release is in Maven central so the snippet for the API is:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.cache</groupId>
<artifactId>cache-api</artifactId>
<version>0.3</version>
</dependency>

We are pretty much on the home run with this now. Work on Ehcache, Infinispan and Coherence implementations are starting. Work will now shift to closing open issues and dealing with review comments as they come in.

We welcome community involvement. The jumping off point for all things JSR107 is the GitHub Page.
