I am dropping the Jakarta EE community alias for this. It was not my intent to add it in the first place.
I think the logical next steps would be to share the numbers for all the Jakarta EE specifications. What do you think?
Rudy pointed out a legitimate issue with these numbers on the Jakarta EE Ambassadors alias. I advise paying attention to that in any potential write up. These are very early days and it is important to avoid any possibility of giving misleading impressions knowingly.

Subject: Re: Bintray JCenter (and MavenCentral) download stats
Reza,
That's a good idea, thanks.
It is only for the new Jakarta specs.
At least my logged in view did not show certain artifacts like Spring, JodaTime etc that were around for a while.
I did not check the likes of Dropwizard or Micronaut, etc. either, but I guess it allows to compare those that are used with Maven quite well.
Also a good sign for adopters like in today's call. Either to show most popular artifacts that can use help or those that may not be so widely used because they lack progress or stability.
It certainly shows which ones are more popular because REST nearly got 1 Mio downloads only for the new namespace while others are hardly used.
Cheers,
Werner
Werner,
I am redirecting your email to the
Jakarta EE Ambassadors alias as I believe it will get the right
level of attention it deserves there.
This is really good information. I
think it is worth the effort to pull all the data for all the new
Jakarta artifacts and write a blog entry. If you don't want to
write it, maybe you could collaborate with someone else?
A couple of suggestions: I would make
sure to mention that this is preliminary data since most people
probably haven't upgraded to Jakarta EE 8 just yet. I recommend
leaving out MicroProfile from any write up or analysis until the
core leadership of MicroProfile asks for such a thing - unless of
course there is a specific valuable, good faith learning you are
trying to understand about MicroProfile.
What are your thoughts?

Hi,
Since Bintray and JCenter introduced a new UI every newer artifact (including
mirrors of MavenCentral I am pretty sure) now shows the
total downloads, even if the artifact does not expose the
stats explicitly.
As we made the download figures for JSRs like 363 and 385
available ever since, I know this number is the lifetime downloads for a
particular artifact.
Just checking two
MicroProfile APIs,
says 150848 downloads.
says only 384 downloads.
says 805423 downloads.
Only under the new Jakarta
groupId, that of course also includes the usage by
MicroProfile ;-)
I'm not sure, if JFrog made
those numbers available via API unless you pay or subscribe
something, but maybe if a former colleague asks those who
now work there, e.g. Steven Chin there could be ways to make
it available, or Eclipse Foundation might ask for it to
display on certain project pages.
