  Today, the Eclipse Foundation is making a number of community updates on Jakarta EE, the brand under which Java EE 8 technologies will evolve to meet the requirements of cloud native Java. Check out the new Jakarta EE website and the results of the Jakarta EE Community Survey. With the updates begin delivered today, we thought it would be useful to provide an update on Oracle’s contributions so far to this project. As described in prior blogs, Oracle is contributing its...

Today, the Eclipse Foundation is making multiple announcements related to Jakarta EE that includes the unveiling of https://jakarta.ee and the Jakarta EE logo, the results of the developer survey, etc. It's probably a good time to reflect on how we got here... End 2016, early 2017, I was jokingly using the following slide when I was discussing Java EE.  I am relatively confident that at that time no one would have predicted what would happen. You have to remember that during...

Oracle, IBM, Red Hat and the Eclipse Foundation are actively collaborating to move as quickly as possible despite all the tasks that need to be tackled. We also...

In a previous post, we announced that Oracle was beginning to explore moving Java EE technologies to an open source foundation in order to make the process of evolving these standards more agile, flexible and open. Since mid-August, we’ve had many discussions with other vendors, community members and open source foundations in order to move the process forward. Here’s an update on the progress we have made so far.  First, we have reached out to IBM and Red Hat, the other...

We continue to make great progress on Java EE 8. Specifications are nearly complete, and we expect to deliver the reference implementation this summer. As we approach the delivery of Java EE 8 and the JavaOne 2017 conference, we believe there is an opportunity to rethink how Java EE is developed in order to make it more agile and responsive to changing industry and technology demands. Java EE is enormously successful, with a competitive market of compatible implementations,...

DevNexus 2016 was held in historic Atlanta on February 15-17. For those of you not familiar with it, DevNexus is the most significant Java centric (but not Java focused) conference in the South Eastern US and now perhaps even at a national level. It was started by JBoss Java Champion Burr Sutter and organized by the Atlanta JUG (currently lead by Vincent Mayers, Gunnar Hillert, Pratik Patel, et al). As usual DevNexus attracted a bevy of world class speakers including Stuart...

The incredible amount of innovation that uses and builds upon standard Java/EE technologies is one the most important factors that keeps our ecosystem so uniquely strong. The annual Duke's Choice Awards is a small way of recognizing and encouraging such innovation. Every year a panel of judges gives out ten of these awards at JavaOne (in the interest of full disclosure I am one of those judges). Every year Java EE makes a strong showing at the awards and this year was no...
