GlassFish is the first to pass the compatibility test, with other implementations to follow. Additional updates include new versions of GlassFish, TornadoVM, Micronaut, and JHipster, along with the proposed removal of the Applet API and early-access builds of JDK 25. Recent and upcoming events highlight Java's continuous evolution and community engagement. ## Content # Java Updates: Jakarta EE 11 Web Profile, GlassFish, and More ## Jakarta EE 11 Web Profile Released The Jakarta EE 11 Web Profile has been officially released, following the earlier release of the Jakarta EE 11 Core Profile. This marks an important milestone in the Jakarta EE platform's evolution, bringing with it a cleaner, more modern baseline that aligns with the latest Java versions, focusing on improved modularity and the removal of legacy specifications. Eclipse GlassFish was the first implementation to pass the compatibility test for Jakarta EE 11 Web Profile, with other implementations like Open Liberty, WildFly, and Payara expected to follow suit soon. This update introduces significant technical improvements, including better CDI integration, a new Jakarta Data specification, and updates to several existing specifications. Some deprecated features have also been removed, reflecting the platform's shift towards a developer-focused and cloud-native approach. ## Related Updates In addition to the Jakarta EE 11 Web Profile release, there have been several other notable updates across the Java ecosystem: - **GlassFish 8.0.0**: The eleventh milestone release of GlassFish 8.0.0 continues its progress, with the community looking ahead to more stable releases. - **TornadoVM 1.1.0**: TornadoVM has reached version 1.1.0, bringing new features and improvements for Java developers working with heterogeneous hardware. - **Micronaut 4.8.0**: The Micronaut framework has been updated to version 4.8.0, introducing enhancements that will benefit Java developers working on microservices. - **JHipster 8.10.0**: JHipster's latest point release, version 8.10.0, includes updates and bug fixes for this popular development platform. - **JEP Candidate - Applet API Removal**: A new JEP candidate proposes the removal of the Applet API, reflecting the shift away from applets in modern Java development. - **JDK 25 Early-Access Build 17**: The latest early-access build of JDK 25 includes several fixes and updates, continuing the evolution of the Java language and platform. ## Industry Events JavaLand 2025 recently took place, bringing together Java developers from around the world to share knowledge and discuss the future of Java.
