[jakartaee-platform-dev] Starting Jakarta EE 12?

[Arjan Tijms <arjan.tijms@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

With the last API of Jakarta EE 11 released, from an API design point Jakarta EE 11 is done.

There's still an unknown amount of time needed to get to a platform TCK for Jakarta EE 11, but since this can likely take many, many months, perhaps it's a good idea to officially kick off Jakarta EE 12 already?

We can then start working on Jakarta EE 12 in parallel with the Jakarta EE 11 platform TCK work. The individual APIs (specs) are not really dependent on that, nor should any of the work involved with Jakarta EE 12 process planning. That way we can keep our planned alignment with the Java SE releases that we consider to be special, i.e. Oracle's LTS for Java SE 25 in September 2025.

Thoughts?

Kind regards,

Arjan Tijms
