Member Testimonials
"In 20 years working in open source and Java standards I've never seen such a truly diverse and equally shared effort as that required to ship Jakarta EE 8. Source code has been donated, but what emerged is a community that bravely accepts change, innovates open processes and repeatedly choses shared victory over individual success. When we look back in 10 years at all we've accomplished in Jakarta, everyone will agree this was the singular moment in time that shaped our future."
– David Blevins, Founder and CEO of Tomitribe
"Through the years, Fujitsu Limited has been not only a user of the Java language, but has also been actively involved in the development of Java, and as a Charter Member of the Java Community Process Executive Committee, it has helped create the development process for the Java language. As the future of Java EE development moves to Eclipse and becomes an Open Source Developed Specification, Fujitsu has joined Eclipse as a Strategic Member in order to continue its participation in the evolution of Java EE as Jakarta EE, providing it in the cloud-native world."
– Hideki Nozaki, VP, Deputy Head of Fujitsu Middleware Unit
"IBM helped create Java EE and guide it through it its teenage years and I’m delighted to have helped it now move to its new home at the Eclipse Foundation and new future as Jakarta EE. I look forward to Jakarta EE quickly adopting cloud native technologies from EE-centric communities like Eclipse MicroProfile and becoming the fast-moving platform we all need for Java in the cloud."
– Ian Robinson, IBM Distinguished Engineer and WebSphere Chief Architect
"Red Hat reaffirms its support for the development of Jakarta EE. We look forward to working with the Eclipse Foundation and the broader Java community to align efforts to drive Enterprise Java forward. The breadth of participation in combination with community governance will help accelerate the evolution of Jakarta EE. We believe that Jakarta EE represents one of the most significant events to have happened to the open source enterprise Java ecosystem since OpenJDK was released."
– Mark Little, VP of Red Hat Software Engineering
"The Payara Team is dedicated to the growth and success of Jakarta EE. Our customer support contracts help fund our ongoing development efforts and we continue to lend our expertise and resources to the development of Jakarta EE. We’re committed to helping shape the future of open source cloud-native Java."
– Stephen Millidge, Founder and Director of Payara® Services, LTD and the Payara Foundation
"Oracle remains committed to the success of Jakarta EE. We are continuing to contribute Oracle Java EE 8 technologies to the Eclipse Foundation, and are pleased by the strong community and vendor support. We look forward to active participation in the Working Group to help Jakarta EE drive the future of cloud-native Java."
– Tom Snyder, VP of Oracle Software Development
