Welcome to issue number three hundred and forty-six of Hashtag Jakarta EE!
My next conference will be JavaZone in Lillestrøm, right north of Oslo. Jakarta EE is sponsoring, so you will find me in our booth on the exhibition floor. I would love to chat with you, so please come by between sessions.
The specifications that are targeting Jakarta EE 12 are continuously producing milestones. As I mentioned last week, Jakarta CDI 5.0 is up for release review. Jakarta JSON Binding 3.1 has had an M1 out for a while, and an M2 is shaping up. Jakarta JSON Processing 2.2 is planning for an M1 shortly. For Jakarta RESTful Web Services 5.0, the team is waiting for the three required +1s to get the pull requests merged before they are able to produce an M1. If you are a committer on this specification project, please review PR #1340.
“I chose Jakarta EE 11 for my demo because I was the lead release coordinator for that release. I believe in open standards as the best way to empower developers.”
Ed Burns, Microsoft
Ed Burns, the release lead of Jakarta EE 11, has published an article titled Using the GitHub Copilot SDK for Java in which he extensively uses Jakarta EE 11 to build an AI agent harness. It is an excellent example of how a robust and stable technology like Jakarta EE can be leveraged to build agent capabilities into enterprise applications.
