<p>9<sup>th</sup> of October 2019</p>
<p><em>Payara Server 5.193.1 is Fully Certified as an Open Source Jakarta EE 8 Compatible Implementation</em></p>
<p>Malvern, UK, and Ottawa, 9<sup>th</sup> of October 2019. Payara Services and the Eclipse Foundation, Inc. today announced their application server, Payara Server, has passed the nearly 50,000 open sourced licensed Jakarta EE 8 Technology Compatibility Kits (TCKs) for the Full Platform and is now a Jakarta EE 8 compatible implementation. Payara Server 5.193.1 is available for download <a href="https://www.payara.fish/software/downloads/">here</a>.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The Payara team is extremely proud to be among the first few companies to achieve Jakarta EE 8 Full Platform Compatibility, starting with Payara Platform 5.193.1,&rdquo; says Steve Millidge, founder of Payara Services. &ldquo;This is a significant milestone for Payara and the team has done a huge amount of work to get this done. I think this is a great adoption story for Jakarta EE in general as Payara Server is not a Java EE 8 implementation and this shows that Jakarta EE is an open standard and can bring in new organisations and implementations.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Jakarta EE is the open, vendor-neutral successor of Java EE, and the start of a new age for enterprise Java innovation including cloud-native technologies and microservices. Moving Java EE to a community-driven open source model enables faster evolution, more frequent releases, and the development of modern applications. Payara Server was unable to achieve Java EE certification but not only has the application server become Jakarta EE compatible due to the community-driven process, but the Payara team have also participated in the process of moving Java EE to Jakarta EE as project management committee members, committers, and members of the working group.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Congratulations to Payara for being one of the first to deliver on the promise of Jakarta EE&#39;s open specifications and branding process,&rdquo; says Mike Milinkovich, executive director for the Eclipse Foundation. &ldquo;It is important to note that Payara is a new vendor to this ecosystem, as they were never a Java EE licensee. It is great to see Jakarta EE&#39;s open community processes bring in new organizations and implementations. We fully expect many more organizations to follow in Payara&#39;s pioneering footsteps.&rdquo;</p>
