The post-Java era has formally begun with the release of a long-awaited Jakarta EE 9 Platform and Web Profile specification from the Eclipse Foundation. In addition, the Eclipse Foundation has announced that version 6.0.0 of the open source Glassfish application server has now been certified to be compliant with Jakarta EE 9. Functionally equivalent to the existing Java EE 8 specification, the release of a Jakarta EE 9 Platform and Web Profile specification is intended to enable IT vendors that have built offerings based on Java to shift their naming conventions to Jakarta EE 9. Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation, said now that the Jakarta EE 9 specification is in place IT organizations should expect to see the members of the Eclipse Foundation that contribute to the project begin working more aggressively on a Jakarta EE 10 specification that adds more features.
