The Jakarta EE community thrives on collaboration, innovation, and a shared vision for the future of enterprise Java. As the ecosystem continues to evolve, so must the ways we communicate, educate, and engage with developers and organisations around the world.
This is why we’re excited to share the first phase of the Jakarta EE website refresh, designed to make the platform easier to navigate, more informative, and aligned with the needs of our global community.
Beyond the visual redesign, this update marks the beginning of a broader effort to modernise how we tell the Jakarta EE story.
Phase 1: a fresh home page and improved navigation
We are just launching the first set of updates, which introduce a cleaner, more modern look and a smoother user experience. These changes include:
A redesigned homepage
The updated homepage presents Jakarta EE with a bold, clear identity while making it easier for visitors to understand what Jakarta EE is and how to get started.
We’ve improved content clarity, reduced friction for new users, and provided more direct entry points for developers, architects, and decision-makers.
New mega menus for easier navigation
The new navigation structure makes key content discoverable within seconds. Whether you’re looking for specifications, learning materials, compatibility information, joining the Working Group or contribution paths, the mega menus help you find it quickly and intuitively.
Clearer story: Why Jakarta EE? A new way of telling our story
One of the new additions in this refresh is the “Why Jakarta EE” section, created to help developers and organisations clearly understand what Jakarta EE is, why it matters in today’s cloud native landscape, and how it powers many of the world’s most widely used Java frameworks and enterprise applications.
Also, as part of our improvements to structure and clarity, the homepage now includes a dedicated space for the latest Jakarta EE release, featuring a visual specification diagram that links directly to the latest release pages for each specification.
This helps ensure newcomers and returning community members can immediately see the most current version of the platform.
Phase 2 coming later in 2026: a deeper transformation
The work doesn’t stop here.
In early 2026, we will continue modernising the Jakarta EE website with:
- Enhanced messaging across core pages
- A more consistent visual identity from page to page
- New and expanded pages, including a developer-focused hub, clearer “get involved” pathways, and improved recognition of community contributions
- Revamped content structures to better support both new and experienced developers
- Improved calls to action to guide visitors toward the information or action they need
Our goal is to create a website that not only reflects the strength of the Jakarta EE community but also helps accelerate adoption, contribution, and understanding of Jakarta EE. A modern platform deserves a modern experience, and this rebrand is a step forward in telling the Jakarta EE story with the clarity and impact it deserves.
Thank you to our community
None of this would be possible without the collaboration and feedback of the Jakarta EE Working Group, especially the Jakarta EE Marketing Committee, our webdev and marketing team, and our global community. Your work continues to shape the future of enterprise Java.
We’re excited for you to explore the refreshed website and look forward to delivering even more improvements in 2026.
Stay tuned, this is just the beginning.
