Upcoming Events & New Members
Industry Collaborations at Eclipse have Expanded
For many years, members have been able to work with their peers in the industry in a vendor-neutral structure to drive shared innovation through our working group governance structure.
We have taken the next step and expanded our industry collaboration opportunities to now support interest groups. Interest groups enable “innovation through collaboration” by empowering members to work together using a lighter-weight organizational structure that is self-managed, with less overhead than our working group model.
Whether it’s a working group or an interest group, the Eclipse Foundation is the open source home for industry collaboration. Visit eclipse.org/collaborations to learn more.
Thank You for Attending EclipseCon 2022
We finally made it back to Ludwigsburg to connect with the Eclipse community at EclipseCon 2022. This year’s event had more than 400 attendees participating in various events including Community Day, Hacker Day, and the OSGi Summit.
Thank you to everyone who participated, and a special thanks to all of our sponsors:
Don’t Forget: Member Portal Offers Resources and Insights
Earlier this year, the Eclipse Foundation launched the Member Portal, which offers member organizations new insights into their participation in the Eclipse community. Find out about working groups and projects your organization is involved in, and access resources curated for members. The portal also provides a self-service means for member representatives to:
update key membership data, including their logo, corporate description, and primary contacts
review their organization’s committers and contributors
All member representatives are encouraged to log in to the portal. If you have any problems, please contact membership coordination for assistance.
Jakarta EE 10 is Here to Usher in the Era of Cloud Native Java
Jakarta EE 10 Platform, Web Profile and the new Core Profile specifications have been released! Jakarta EE 10 introduces features for building modernized, simplified, and lightweight cloud native Java applications, delivering a new baseline for the evolution and innovation of enterprise Java technologies under an open, vendor-neutral, community-driven process.
Jakarta EE 10 also provides new functionality in over 20 component specifications through version updates reflected in the specified APIs. For example:
The results of the 2022 Jakarta EE Developer Survey, the industry’s most prominent survey for technical insights into enterprise Java, have been published. The results showcase a significant increase in the use of Jakarta EE, along with a growing interest in cloud native Java overall.
Other key findings from this year’s survey include:
Jakarta EE is the basis for the top frameworks used for building cloud native applications
The top three frameworks for building cloud native applications include Spring/Spring Boot, which lost ground this year at 57% (60% in 2022), followed by Jakarta EE at 53% (up from 47% in 2021), and MicroProfile at 30% (down from 34% in 2021). It’s important to note that Spring/SpringBoot is reliant on Jakarta EE developments for its operation and is not competitive with Jakarta EE. Both are critical ingredients to the healthy enterprise Java ecosystem.
Jakarta EE 9/9.1 usage has grown to 14% (vs. 9% in 2021).
Java EE 8, Jakarta EE 8, and Jakarta EE 9/9.1 hit the mainstream with 81% adoption (vs. 75% in 2021).
Administered by the Eclipse IoT Working Group, the Eclipse Edge Native Working Group, and the Eclipse Sparkplug Working Group, the survey provides essential insights into IoT and edge computing industry landscapes, the challenges developers are facing, and the opportunities for enterprise stakeholders in the IoT & edge open source ecosystem. Now in its eighth year, the survey is the IoT & edge industry’s leading technical survey.
Key findings include:
Java, C, and C++ are the most widely used programming languages for constrained devices. Developers indicate that Java is the preferred language for IoT gateways and edge nodes.
MQTT continues to be the most widely used IIoT communication protocol, though there seems to be increased fragmentation. HTTP/HTTPS and REST show slight decreases in IIoT usage compared to 2021, while alternative communication protocols (TCP/IP, AMQP, in-house/proprietary) have seen noticeable growth.
Agriculture (23%) has emerged as the leading industry for IIoT and edge computing technology, followed by industrial automation (22%), automotive (20%), and energy & smart cities (17%).
Concerns around connectivity are on the rise this year , making it one of the top 3 challenges developers face, along with security and data collection & analytics.
To further demonstrate the value of open source, we continue to produce case studies that show the benefits of ongoing innovation within our open source ecosystem and help strengthen the ecosystem itself. We have recently launched two valuable resources:
Our new adopter story explores how logi.cals, an Austria-based company that develops software tools and platforms for industrial automation, built a next-generation engineering platform around Eclipse Theia.
Our new video case study takes a look at how Kynetics, an embedded software development company based in Santa Clara, California, uses open source Eclipse IoT projects to build dependable enterprise solutions.
If you would like to collaborate on a case study or adoptor story, please sign up.
Leveraging GitHub Sponsors for Eclipse Foundation Working Groups
Earlier this year the Eclipse Foundation Board approved a Github Sponsors pilot for the Adoptium Working Group where Github Sponsors was enabled for the Adoptium Github organization. All funds collected go to the Eclipse Foundation and are then directed to the working group’s budget. Find out more about GitHub sponsorships and this pilot project.
Featured Working Group: Software Defined Vehicle
The Eclipse Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) Working Group provides a forum for individuals and organizations to build and promote open source software, specifications, and open collaboration models needed to create a scalable, modular, extensible, industry-ready open source licensed vehicle software platform to support in-vehicle and around the vehicle applications development and deployment. The working group already has close to 30 participating members. Learn more
