Jakarta EE powers the future of
cloud nativevendor neutralscalable enterprise Java

David Blevins, Founder and CEO of Tomitribe

In 20 years working in open source and Java standards I've never seen such a truly diverse and equally shared effort as that required to ship Jakarta EE 8. Source code has been donated, but what emerged is a community that bravely accepts change, innovates open processes and repeatedly choses shared victory over individual success. When we look back in 10 years at all we've accomplished in Jakarta, everyone will agree this was the singular moment in time that shaped our future.

Through the years, Fujitsu Limited has been not only a user of the Java language, but has also been actively involved in the development of Java, and as a Charter Member of the Java Community Process Executive Committee, it has helped create the development process for the Java language. As the future of Java EE development moves to Eclipse and becomes an Open Source Developed Specification, Fujitsu has joined Eclipse as a Strategic Member in order to continue its participation in the evolution of Java EE as Jakarta EE, providing it in the cloud native world.

Ian Robinson, Distinguished Engineer, CTO IBM App Platform

IBM helped create Java EE and guide it through its teenage years and I’m delighted to see the progress made under Jakarta EE. I look forward to Jakarta EE and MicroProfile becoming the open standard for cloud native innovation and the technology we need for Java in the cloud.

Jesse McConnell, CEO and co-founder of Webtide LLC

Jakarta EE's specifications are fundamental to the core Java experience. Webtide LLC, through its developers of Eclipse Jetty, has contributed to many specifications since their inception and is pleased to continue doing so as a part of Jakarta EE.

Mark Little, VP of Red Hat Software Engineering

Red Hat reaffirms its support for the development of Jakarta EE. We look forward to working with the Eclipse Foundation and the broader Java community to align efforts to drive Enterprise Java forward. The breadth of participation in combination with community governance will help accelerate the evolution of Jakarta EE. We believe that Jakarta EE represents one of the most significant events to have happened to the open source enterprise Java ecosystem since OpenJDK was released.

Stephen Millidge, Founder and Director of Payara® Services, LTD and the Payara Foundation

The Payara Team is dedicated to the growth and success of Jakarta EE. Our customer support contracts help fund our ongoing development efforts and we continue to lend our expertise and resources to the development of Jakarta EE.
