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

Jakarta NoSQL 1.0 has passed its release review and is now publicly available. This is a major milestone for the project. Congrats to the team!

It seems like this is the week of good news. The Jakarta EE 11 Web Profile is as good as ready for the release review ballot to start. The final version of the TCK has been staged, and Eclipse GlassFish passes it on both JDK 17 and JDK 21. I expect the ballot to start early next week, as soon as all the materials have been gathered.

I am currently on my way to California and JavaOne where I will present a brand new talk titled The Evolution of Enterprise Java with Jakarta EE 11 and Beyond. Since the talk has a historical aspect, I had to dig out my old Mastering Enterprise JavaBeans book to recap how it used to be. It is an understatement of another world to say that this platform has evolved to something so much simpler today. Come to my talk for the past, present, and future of Enterprise Java.
