Jakarta EE: Present and Future

About the Presentation: Let's explore the current state and future of Jakarta EE, the technology platform formerly known as Java EE. We will include a high level feature tour of the current version, Jakarta EE 9. We will also discuss how the community can contribute to Jakarta EE. The technical content of Jakarta EE 8 is mostly the same as Java EE 8, with Jakarta EE 9 further bringing the platform into the open by decoupling from the javax namespace to the jakarta namespace. Jakarta EE 10 opens possibilities for many long pending innovations in key technologies like Jakarta Security, Concurrency, Messaging, REST, Persistence, Batch, NoSQL, MVC and Configuration.

You should come to this session with your thinking caps on and your sleeves rolled up. There is much to help move forward together that really matters.
