Hashtag Jakarta EE #300

Sunday, September 28, 2025 - 05:59 by Ivar Grimstad

Welcome to issue number three hundred of Hashtag Jakarta EE!

In the beginning of this week I was in Madrid speaking and attending at Open Source Community Day 2025 before I continued to Italy for Come To Code in Pignola. I will soon publish a post of the last one. Next week, I am will go to Colorado Springs for dev2next.

We have published a 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT of the EE4J parent pom that contains the configuration needed for publish artifacts using the Maven Central Publishing Portal. Since we don’t have a proper replacement for the staging functionality we had with OSSRH yet, we need to use snapshots this way for now. Hopefully there will be a replacement shortly, or at least before we start the process of releasing milestones and release candidates for Jakarta EE 12.

The vote for adding Jakarta Query 1.0 to Jakarta EE 12 continued in this week’s platform call. A discussion around implications of testing on Java 25 also happened. The Jakarta EE 12 TCK will be executed with at least Java 21 and Java 25.
