\n\u2013 The Jakarta EE Working Group announces package namespace change from javax to jakarta to power the evolution of cloud native technologies for Java \u2013

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Dec. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Jakarta EE Working Group<\/u><\/a>, hosted by the Eclipse Foundation, one of the world\u2019s largest open source software foundations, today announced during the JakartaOne <\/u><\/a>Livestream<\/u><\/a> virtual conference the release of the Jakarta EE 9 Platform and Web Profile specifications and related TCKs. This release provides a new baseline for the evolution and innovation of enterprise Java technologies under an open, vendor-neutral, community-driven process.<\/p>\n

The Jakarta EE community has taken the important and necessary step on the road to further innovation using cloud native technologies for Java by completing the transition from the use of the javax.* package namespace to jakarta.* in a well-defined, consistent and uniform manner. By doing so, the Jakarta EE 9 release gives enterprises and developers a truly open platform for developing standardized enterprise applications in Java that serve as a foundation for future innovations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis simple namespace change belies the strategic importance of Jakarta EE 9 and what it means for the ongoing transition to cloud native enterprise Java,\u201d said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. \u201cThanks to the hard work of the contributors, committers, project leads, and Foundation staff that made delivering the Jakarta EE 9 specifications possible, the ecosystem is now on a path to build new innovations into Jakarta EE 10 that reflect the cloud native era critical to the future of our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

This namespace change firmly establishes Jakarta EE 9 as a foundation on which cloud-era innovations can be built for future Java infrastructure. What’s more, Jakarta EE 9 enables enterprise end users and enterprise software vendors to migrate from older, previous versions to newer cloud native tools, products, and platforms. Overall, Jakarta EE lowers the barrier of entry to new vendors and implementations to achieve compatibility with this new specification.<\/p>\n

With upwards of 90 percent of the FORTUNE 500 running enterprise Java apps in production, the Jakarta EE 9 specifications give new life to this massive installed base. The specifications were developed under the Jakarta EE Specification Process<\/u><\/a>, which replaces the Java Community Process (JCP) for Java EE.<\/p>\n

In addition to the release of the Jakarta EE 9 specifications, the Eclipse Foundation is announcing the certification of Eclipse GlassFish 6.0.0, as well as the following solutions working on compliance for 2021:<\/p>\n
