| <h2>The Jakarta EE 9 Release Plan Is Approved</h2> |
| <p>Great news for everyone in the Jakarta EE community: Jakarta EE 9 is moving forward with a target |
| release date of mid-2020. The release has three main goals:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Lower the barrier of entry to new vendors and implementations to achieve compatibility</li> |
| <li>Quickly make the release available as a platform for future innovation</li> |
| <li>Provide a platform that developers can use as a stable target for testing migration to the new |
| namespace</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Defining this release plan took an enormous amount of community time, effort, and energy. |
| Here’s a quick look at the key elements in the approved plan:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Move all specification APIs to the Jakarta namespace (sometimes referred to as the “big |
| bang”)</li> |
| <li>Remove unwanted or deprecated specifications</li> |
| <li>Make minor enhancements to a small number of specifications</li> |
| <li>Add no new specifications, apart from specifications pruned from Java SE 8 where appropriate</li> |
| <li>Java SE 11 support</li> |
| </ul> |
