Jakarta EE 11 Release Delayed

[William Crowell <WC...@perforce.com.INVALID>]

Good morning,

I received an update from the Jakarta EE Community mailing list this morning that the Jakarta EE 11 final release will be pushed out a quarter to deal with platform TCK migration to Arquillian/Junit 5. The exact target date is still TBD.

I am assuming this also pushes Apache Tomcat 11’s final release as well?

Regards,

William Crowell

I don't see any reason for it to do that.

Tomact 11 milestones are already at beta meaning:

- the specifications Tomcat 11 implements have been released

- Tomcat fully implmements the specifications (and passes the Servlet,
   Pages, EL, WebSocket and Annotations TCKs)

My plan was to see how the August release went and - if things went well 
- start a discussion on the dev@ list about moving to stable releases 
for Tomcat 11.

In case by final release you meant EOL date, that will be driven by the 
release date for Tomcat 14 since we support 3 major releases in 
parallel. It is hard to predict that far in the future but past major 
Tomact releases have typically been support for ~10 years. At this point 
I dont see any reason why Tomcat 11 woudl be different.
