Welcome to issue number three hundred and five of Hashtag Jakarta EE!
I am currently in Auckland, New Zealand to talk about Jakarta EE at the inagural ChurConf 2025. I will write more about ChurConf after the conference.
The Jakarta EE Platform project has set a date for Milestone 2 of Jakarta EE 12 to be December 9. This milestone will contain all the tasks for are being discussed, and will most likely firm up within the next couple of weeks. These tasks will be added to those of Milestone 1 for those specificitions that didn’t deliver a M1.
The proposal for the Jakarta Agentic Artificial Intelligence specification is now under Creation Review in the Jakarta EE Specification Committee. The review ends on Wednesday, November 5, but so far it looks like it will pass. Judging from the number of community members that has cast their non-binding community votes, this is a hot topic and something the community really wants. On the top of my head, I can’t remember any Jakarta EE specification getting this amount of support from the community.
The agenda for JakartaOne Livestream 2025 is live! Check it out and make sure to register for the event so you have it in your calendar. You may also consider to participate in the Jakarta EE in pixels contest. I am sure there will be nice prices to win. For inspiration, you can look at my attempt using the speaker gift from Devnexus 2025.
