Jakarta EE 11 marks the first release under the new release cadence, allowing it to incorporate features from the latest Java Long-Term Support (LTS) releases. With the release of Java 21 in 2023, Jakarta EE 11 was launched in 2024 to support this LTS version.

In this session, we'll explore the updates introduced in Jakarta EE 11. Are there any new specifications? What has been removed? Is there another namespace change? And how will this release impact other frameworks and technologies, such as Spring, Apache Tomcat, Hibernate, and others?

Join us to get answers to these questions and more, as we prepare for the increased performance and developer productivity that Jakarta EE 11 brings. Additionally, you'll get a glimpse into what to expect from Jakarta EE 12 in the future.

Target Audience: This session is primarily aimed at Java Developers and Enterprise Developers who use Jakarta EE and want to stay up-to-date with the latest improvements for enhanced performance and productivity. Software Architects are the secondary audience, as they need to understand how Jakarta EE 11 impacts their systems and related technologies such as Spring, Tomcat, and Hibernate.
