How to upgrade to Jakarta EE 10 and GlassFish 7 – it’s much easier than you think!

This entry is part 1 of 2 in the series Upgrading to Jakarta EE 10

Upgrading from Jakarta EE 10 from an older version of Jakarta EE or Java EE can be a bit tricky and may require some extra attention to detail. One of the main things you may encounter is making sure your existing code and libraries are compatible. Some libraries may still be using the javax package, which can cause conflicts when trying to run your applications on a Jakarta EE server like Eclipse GlassFish 7. You might also run into problems with some deprecated APIs that were removed in Jakarta EE 10.

But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! In this post and the future posts in this series, we’ll explain everything you need to know to upgrade to Jakarta EE 10 successfully and almost in no time.
