Re: [jakarta.ee-spec] [BALLOT] Creation Review for Jakarta Agentic Artificial Intelligence
-1 (IBM)

IBM believes that initiating an AI specification under Jakarta EE is premature due to the rapidly evolving nature of AI. The field is experiencing significant changes, with patterns that were once considered crucial becoming less important, and new ones emerging regularly (see more details Working Group Proposal: Agentic Foundation and LangChain4j Next-Gen).In contrast, Jakarta EE is known for providing stable APIs users can rely on for a long term, which seems unlikely to be possible for AI at this time.This stability is a key expectation for end-users, and IBM feels that introducing an AI specification at this stage may compromise this stability. This was why a project langchain4j-cdi was created to focus on the integration effort between Jakarta EE/MicroProfile and AI.Instead of creating an AI specification under Jakarta EE, IBM suggests starting an AI project under the Eclipse Foundation’s Artificial Intelligence group (https://projects.eclipse.org/technology-type/artificial-intelligence). This approach allows the AI project to mature and stabilize before being adopted by Jakarta EE.

Greetings Jakarta EE Specification Committee,

I request your vote to approve and ratify the creation of the Jakarta Agentic Artificial Intelligence project.

The JESP/EFSP requires a successful ballot of the Specification Committee in order to ratify the creation of the specification project. 

The relevant materials are available here:

Per the process, this will be a seven-day ballot, ending on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, that requires a Super-majority positive vote of the Specification Committee members (note that there is no veto). Community input is welcome, but only votes cast by Specification Committee Representatives will be counted.

The Specification Committee is composed of representatives of the Jakarta EE Working Group Member Companies (Fujitsu, IBM, Oracle, Payara, Tomitribe, Primeton, and Shandong Cvicse Middleware Co.), along with individuals who represent the EE4J PMC, Participant Members, and Committer Members.

Specification Committee representatives, your vote is hereby requested. Please respond with +1 (positive), 0 (abstain), or -1 (reject). Any feedback that you can provide to support your vote will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ivar
