Welcome to issue number two hundred and eighty-five of Hashtag Jakarta EE!
We’re finally there! The release review for the Jakarta EE 11 Platform specification is ongoing. All the members of the Jakarta EE Specification Committee have voted, so as soon as the minimum duration of 7 days is over, the release of the specification will be approved. Public announcements and celebrations will follow in the weeks to come.
With Jakarta EE 11 out the door, the Jakarta EE Platform project can focus entirely on Jakarta EE 12. A project Milestone 0 is being planned as we speak. One of the activities of that milestone will be to get all CI Jobs and configurations set up for the new way of releasing to Maven Central due to the end-of-life of OSSRH. There will be a new release of the EE4J Parent POM to support this.
Next week, almost all of the Eclipse Foundation staff will come together at our annual All-Hands meeting. Since we are an remote organization, these events where we all get together are extremely important to align on all the various activities that take place in the organization. I am looking forward to catch up with my colleagues over a couple of days next week.
