This was a big month for the Payara Team. We just released Payara Platform 5.192, we toured all across Japan and there has been plenty going on in the Java world with the announcement by the Eclipse Foundation regarding the continued use of the javax namespace. 

The 2019 Jakarta EE developer survey results are in - and they show cloud deployments have increased since last year with 62% of Java developers currently building or planning cloud native architectures within the year.

Today the Eclipse Foundation have announced an Update on Jakarta EE Rights to Java Trademarks which has dramatic implications for the future of Java EE and Jakarta EE. The Payara team have only recently learned about this - so we thought we would blog about how we feel this impacts customers and users of the Payara Platform. We'll also give our thoughts on how Jakarta EE should evolve given the constraints outlined in Mike Milinkovich's blog from the Eclipse Foundation.

Java EE 8 introduced a new API called the Java EE Security API (see JSR 375) or "EE Security" in short.

This new API, perhaps unsurprisingly given its name, deals with security in Java EE.  Security in Java EE is obviously not a new thing though, and in various ways it has been part of the platform since its inception.

So what is exactly the difference between EE Security and the existing security facilities in Java EE? In this article we'll take a look at that exact question.

Eclipse GlassFish 5.1 がついに正式リリースされました。

Today Eclipse GlassFish 5.1 has been released, and unlike the modest increase in version number might suggest, this truly marks a major milestone. Not just for the GlassFish project itself, but for Java EE and moving Jakarta EE forward even more.

As presumably well known by now, Java EE is in progress of being transferred to the Eclipse Foundation. A lot of work, partially behind the scenes, has been done to make his happen. This work included discussions between vendors and other interested individuals, the vetting of the code in the Java EE repo at GitHub, actually transferring the code from the Java EE repo to the Eclipse repo, and most recently the preparation of the transferred code to be buildable on Eclipse Foundation infrastructure and changing the Maven coordinates over from javax.* to jakarta.*
