Jakarta 10

• Lots of projects released
• CDI Lite is new spec but subset of CDI so not completely new
• Core profile – targets restricted environments
• Java 11 source/binaries

Q&A

• Emphasis on opinions, community needs to weigh in
• Looking forward to Loom
• Release cadence need to be adopted by community. Cadence of spec itself being too fast risks not having proper adoption.
• Need enough contributions to have a release
• At one point had goal of yearly release cadence
• Hard for customers to update that often
• Room survey was 50/50% on one vs two year release cycle for Jakarta EE
• Could release pieces independently. Could be confusing
• A lot of companies align with Java SE LTS cycle
• Vendors can certify against LTS versions
• log4j has caused more patching
• Companies will keep skipping versions
• Room survey: people using a variety of EE versions
• Demand vs capacity to deliver
• Emily working on a one pager on how to contribute. Already have English doc https://jakartaee-ambassadors.io/guide-to-contributing-to-jakarta-ee-10/
• https://github.com/jakartaee
• “If there’s something you want, create a feature, now you are a contributor”
• need to be able to explain why to contribute

My take

I like that there was a lot of time for audience comments and sharing opinions for the audience and panel. The brief prepared remarks set the stage well for that.
