Eclipse Foundation’s Jakarta EE Working Group Releases Jakarta EE 10, Ushering in the Era of Cloud Native Java, The Canadian Business Journal

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jakarta EEA working group sponsored by the Eclipse Foundation, one of the world’s largest open source software foundations, today announced the release of the Jakarta EE 10 Platform, Web Profile and new Core Profile specifications. Jakarta EE 10 introduces capabilities for building modernized, simplified, and lightweight cloud-native Java applications, driving the evolution and innovation of enterprise Java technology under an open, vendor-neutral, community-driven process. provides a new baseline for

Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation, said: “The release of Jakarta EE 10 reflects the leadership of vendors such as Fujitsu, IBM, Oracle, Payara and Tomitribe, as well as the work of a global community of contributors. Jakarta EE is already breathing new life into enterprise Java. , and this release brings a key innovation in the cloud-native era that is critical to the future of the industry.”

Jakarta EE 10 delivers new functionality in over 20 component specifications through version updates reflected in designated APIs. for example:

• Jakarta Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) 4.0, including CDI-Lite to enable longer build times
• Jakarta RESTful Web Services 3.1 standardizes Java SE Bootstrap API and supports multipart/form-data
• New features in Jakarta Security 3.0 and Jakarta Persistence queries with OpenID Connect support and Jakarta Faces view creation using pure Java

The Jakarta EE 10 release defines a new profile specification in Jakarta EE Core Profile 10. It defines a multi-vendor platform for modernized, lightweight Java applications and microservices. The new Core Profile provides a subset of Jakarta EE specifications targeting small runtimes suitable for developing microservices using lightweight runtimes, including the new CDI-Lite specification for building lightweight Jakarta EE applications. CDI-Lite enables a no-reflection programming model that allows compiling to native by providing build-compatible extensions.

The Jakarta EE 10 release enables enterprises building modern cloud-native Java applications to:

• Develop and deploy Jakarta EE 10 applications on Java SE 11 and Java SE 17, the latest LTS release of Java SE.
• Take advantage of new features such as the module system introduced in Java SE 9 and supported in Java SE 11

Another important aspect of this release is that it simplifies application development by supporting the widespread use of additional annotations. This makes building modular applications easier and provides better integration between component APIs. Ultimately, this release makes it easier for developers to implement applications with the latest security requirements and removes deprecated APIs while maintaining a high level of compatibility with previous Jakarta EE releases. helps.

In addition to these enhancements, we have an expanding list. compatible products Support an already rich ecosystem. For example, Eclipse GlassFish 7, Open Liberty, 22.0.0.10-beta, and Wild Fly 27.0.0 now offer compatible versions. Members of the Jakarta EE Working Group, including Fujitsu, IBM, Oracle, Payara, Red Hat, and Tomitribe, are working to certify Jakarta EE 10 compatible products. Expect the list of implementations and products compatible with Jakarta EE 10 to grow rapidly as releases become available.
