The platform now offers better concurrency, scalability, and developer productivity for enterprise Java applications. ## Content # Jakarta EE 11 Released with Enhanced Functionality and Compatibility The Eclipse Foundation has announced the release of Jakarta EE 11, marking a significant advancement in enterprise Java development. This new version brings modern improvements, enhanced productivity, and performance to the platform, streamlining several processes for developers. ## Modernized Test Compatibility Kit One of the key upgrades in Jakarta EE 11 is the modernization of the Test Compatibility Kit framework. Transitioning from Apache ANT and Java Test Harness to JUnit 5 and Apache Maven, this update drastically reduces the certification time from tens of hours to mere hours. It ensures that application servers, such as Eclipse GlassFish, IBM Open Liberty, Red Hat WildFly, and Payara Platform, can quickly certify compatibility. ## Introduction of Jakarta Data Specification Jakarta EE 11 introduces the Jakarta Data specification, simplifying data access through repository patterns. It enhances database operations via BasicRepository, CrudRepository, pagination support, and incorporates a dedicated query language designed to streamline interactions with data sources. ## Embracing Modern Java Features With the support for Java 21, Jakarta EE 11 integrates virtual threads, significantly improving concurrency and scalability. Additionally, Java Records are now supported, offering a more seamless way to manage data structures. ## Deprecated and Removed Features As part of its modernization efforts, Jakarta EE 11 deprecates the Managed Beans specification in favor of Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI), streamlines relevant functionalities, and removes references to the outdated Java SE SecurityManager. ## Looking Ahead Jakarta EE 12 is already being planned for 2026, aiming to synchronize with the Java SE 21 API level and the Java SE 25 runtime, further establishing Jakarta EE as a robust and forward-looking platform for enterprise Java. Jakarta EE 11 marks a pivotal development step for enterprise Java applications, empowering developers with efficient tools and robust features aimed at enhancing productivity and performance. With these improvements, the platform promises a more efficient and scalable environment to meet modern-day enterprise requirements. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#java](https://daily.dev/tags/java), [#enterprise](https://daily.dev/tags/enterprise), [#maven](https://daily.dev/tags/maven), [#jakarta-ee](https://daily.dev/tags/jakarta-ee) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/jakarta-ee-11-unveiled-with-enhanced-testing-and-modern-features-fgcogqkxj) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Jakarta EE 11 Unveiled with Enhanced Testing and Modern Features","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/jakarta-ee-11-unveiled-with-enhanced-testing-and-modern-features-fgcogqkxj","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/jakarta-ee-11-unveiled-with-enhanced-testing-and-modern-features-fgcogqkxj"},"datePublished":"2025-06-26T10:06:40.194Z","dateModified":"2025-06-26T12:53:37.372Z","description":"Jakarta EE 11 has been released with significant improvements including a modernized Test Compatibility Kit that reduces certification time from hours to...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/d3b218de4ade94bc6303ba9a2f5a5331?_a=AQAEulh","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/d3b218de4ade94bc6303ba9a2f5a5331?_a=AQAEulh","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Collections","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Collections","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--fk_6ycEi--/f_auto,q_auto/v1780996001/logos/collections?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/jakarta-ee-11-unveiled-with-enhanced-testing-and-modern-features-fgcogqkxj","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":3},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"java,enterprise,maven,jakarta-ee","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Collections","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Jakarta EE 11 Unveiled with Enhanced Testing and Modern Features"}]} ```
