Introducing the Jakarta EE Specification Process

Tuesday, October 16, 2018 - 15:18 by Mike Milinkovich

I am very happy to announce that we are publishing a draft of the Eclipse Foundation Specification Process for community review and feedback. This specification process will be used by Jakarta EE as the new open specification process, replacing the JCP process previously used for Java EE. It is also expected that this new process will be of interest to other Eclipse working groups.

Tuesday, October 2, 2018 - 08:04 by Mike Milinkovich

How is it that a 150-year-old, 400,000 employee industrial conglomerate is competing and winning in the rapidly involving IoT software industry?

Jakarta EE Marketing and Social Media Update

Tuesday, June 26, 2018 - 13:13 by Thabang Mashologu

Thursday, May 24, 2018 - 07:07 by Mike Milinkovich

Last September Oracle announced, with the support of IBM and Red Hat, that Java EE was going to move to the Eclipse Foundation. Since then Fujitsu, Payara and Tomitribe have all joined the initiative with strategic-level commitments.

A New Logo for the Eclipse Foundation

Tuesday, April 10, 2018 - 08:00 by Mike Milinkovich

Since the beginning of the Eclipse Foundation in 2004 we have had two corporate logos, both of which happened to be the same logo as used by the Eclipse IDE. For a long time that was a good idea, as the Eclipse IDE was definitely our flagship project.

On Complexity and Good Intentions

Friday, March 23, 2018 - 10:18 by Mike Milinkovich

We are now about six months into the process of migrating Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation, and I think we’re all learning a lot as we go. I wanted to take a moment and take stock of the scale of this project, its complexity, and where we are.
