Welcome to issue number two hundred and sixty of Hashtag Jakarta EE!

I hope most of you are having some time off work now, and most likely have better things to do than reading my ramblings on a Sunday at the end of December.

We did release Jakarta EE Core Profile 11 in 2024, so I guess we can celebrate that we partly met the goal of making Jakarta EE 11 available this year. The final release of the Platform and Web Profile specifications will have to wait until 2025 to be published. On the bright side, all the individual component specifications have been available since before summer. They were actually all released as early as in May.

Even if Jakarta EE 11 is not fully out of the door yet, we have stared the planning toward Jakarta EE 12. Join the Jakarta EE Platform calls (Tuesdays at 11:00 AM EST) to join the dicussons.
