The road to Jakarta EE
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...

Java EE is enormously successful, with a competitive market of compatible implementations,...
