Welcome to issue number two hundred and eighty-three of Hashtag Jakarta EE!
The long-awaited release of Jakarta EE 11 Platform is imminent. The pull request with the material for the release review has been created by the Jakarta EE Platform project. Eclipse GlassFish passes the TCK on both Java SE 17 and 21, so as soon as the results have been summarised and the Compatibility Certification Request created, the release review ballot can open.
As i mentioned last week in Hashtag Jakarta EE #282, all plans for the Jakarta EE 12 specifications have been approved. The next step for the Jakarta EE Platform project is to define a Milestone 0. This milestone will contain certain steps that are expected of the various specification projects to complete. These steps may include verification of CI Jobs and configuration to be able to publish to Maven Central after the end-of-life of OSSRH, and more.
My next conference is coming up on June 7. I will give a presentation about the past, present, and future of enterprise Java at JJUG CCC 2025 Spring in Tokyo. I spoke at their fall-edition in November, and I am looking very much forward to going back to the vibrant city of Tokyo.,
