| Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] Java SE 8 or 11 for Jakarta EE 9? |
This is somewhat off topic, but sharing some context here might be useful. In your next reply, could we change the topic to "Jakarta EE Adoption Stories" and move the conversation to the Jakarta EE community alias (hopefully you are part of that alias)? I have been trying to curate and publicize Java EE adoption stories for a little while. I would like to begin to do the same for Jakarta EE. Any chance you would be willing to be interviewed for that? The interview will look something like this: http://blog.rahmannet.net/2016/08/java-ee-adoption-story-from-pavel.html. I think this helps provide real perspective to people on the fence about adopting Java EE/Jakarta EE. What do you think? BTW anyone else willing to share a Jakarta EE adoption story is also most welcome.

As long as it doesn't preclude us from running our preferred application server on Java 11 and beyond. Should that make both Java 8 and Java 11 be requirements, we don't mind. As long as the migration is short, without breaking stuff--other than the package rename. What happens with Jakarta EE 10 and beyond is another worthwhile discussion. Looking forward to learn more about the plans...

We're only talking about the runtime support. Also, even if we decide to stick with Java SE 8 as the minimum, compatible implementations could support any version of Java SE 8 and beyond. > > Java SE 8 Pros > > Consistent with Java EE 8 and Jakarta EE 8.
