I’ve been asked by the Eclipse GlassFish project to say a few words about how I use GlassFish Embedded. And since they are working on a series of complex issues that I have raised I guess that is fair. The OmniFish team is one of the main contributors to the GlassFish project and I allowed them to post my article on their blog too.

In this article, we’ll address upgrading individual libraries used by your applications. This solves two problems. First, it improves the build time of your application during development and reduces the build time introduced by transforming the final binary after each build. And second, it solves compilation problems you can face with some libraries after you adjust the source code of your application for Jakarta EE 10.

In our previous article, we explored the initial steps of migrating Java EE 8 or Jakarta EE 8 applications to Jakarta EE 10. We transformed the final binary application using the Eclipse Transformer to deploy it on a Jakarta EE 10 runtime. Building upon that foundation, we now dive deeper into the next crucial phase of the upgrade process: transforming the application’s source code to use the Jakarta EE 10 APIs. This will enable you to use new features in Jakarta EE 10 as well as newer versions of external libraries that require Jakarta EE 10.

As we described in the introductory article, migrating your existing Java EE 8 or Jakarta EE 8 applications to Jakarta EE 10 can be streamlined by a few existing tools. In this article, we’ll explore the first crucial step in upgrading to Jakarta EE 10: using the Eclipse Transformer to transform your final binary application so that it can be deployed to a Jakarta EE runtime like Eclipse GlassFish 7.

Upgrading to 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.

Last year we started a survey about Jakarta EE.
In this survey we asked several questions about Jakarta EE, what people use exactly, and what they would like to see next. The survey was promoted in September 2022. The survey was left alone for the next months, until a little promotion was done towards the end of the year. In total we ended up with 720 respondents in total, which is slightly up from the 684 we got last time.

Jakarta EE is an open source platform for developing enterprise Java applications. It is the successor to the popular Java EE platform, and provides an extensive set of APIs and tools for building enterprise applications.
In this article, we’ll provide some of the most helpful resources for getting started or becoming highly productive with this powerful platform. Let’s dive in!

Do you want to have a say in what happens for the next version of Jakarta EE? Check out the new edition of the Jakarta EE Survey 2022 by OmniFish, which follows the tradition of the bi-annual OmniFaces surveys. The purpose of the survey is to help everybody understand the current status of the Jakarta EE ecosystem, what we as a community represent, which parts of Jakarta EE we all use the most and what we all expect from Jakarta EE in the future.
We’d like to invite all Jakarta EE users to participate in the survey here:

Enterprise Beans was once the face of Java EE, but as we discussed a while ago, is currently de-emphasised in Jakarta EE. However, since there’s so much existing code using Enterprise Beans, a certain level of support is still desired.
Piranha Cloud, a relatively new runtime supporting Jakarta EE, takes a somewhat novel approach to Enterprise Beans. Instead of implementing a separate container, Piranha Cloud, via the OmniBeans project, maps Enterprise Beans annotations to equivalent functionality in CDI itself, or to technologies in Jakarta EE leveraging CDI (such as Jakarta Transactions). Enterprise Beans features not currently present in Jakarta EE, such as the pooled concept for Stateless beans, are provided by the OmniServices library.

Estonia, September 22, 2022
OmniFish are proud to announce they’ve established themselves as a new international company in the field of Jakarta EE support, specifically supporting the application server Eclipse GlassFish, a new cloud‑native Jakarta EE runtime Piranha Cloud, and their associated components such as Mojarra, the Jakarta Faces implementation.
OmniFish, based in Estonia, EU, welcomes the new Jakarta EE 10 version. They are going to support Jakarta EE 10 applications on Eclipse GlassFish 7, which will be released later in October 2022. Moreover, OmniFish have recently joined the Jakarta EE Working Group and they are strongly committed to contributing to the Jakarta EE standards. Some of the OmniFish founders are well-known Jakarta EE experts, which provides strong guarantees that OmniFish will become one of the key players in evolving and modernizing the Jakarta EE platform.
