Enterprise Java and Jakarta EE Continue to Grow per the Results of the 2022 Jakarta EE Developer SurveyBRUSSELS, Belgium, Sept. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Eclipse Foundation, one of the world’s largest open source software foundations, today announced the availability of the results of the 2022 Jakarta EE Developer Survey, the industry’s most prominent survey for technical insights into enterprise Java. The results showcase a significant increase in the use of Jakarta EE, along with growing interest in cloud native Java overall. The 2022 Jakarta EE Developer Survey Report can be downloaded here. “The results from this year’s survey confirm what we’ve been hearing and seeing for ourselves; enterprise Java is experiencing significant growth,” said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. “Not only that, but we believe this is just the beginning, as organizations get a better understanding of what today’s enterprise Java and Jakarta EE can offer.” The objective of this survey, now in its fifth year, is to help Java ecosystem stakeholders better understand the requirements, priorities, and perceptions of enterprise developer communities. The survey also seeks to help the Java ecosystem better understand how the cloud native world for enterprise Java is unfolding and what that means for their respective strategies and businesses. Conducted from March 9 to May 6, 2022, 1,439 individuals participated in this year’s survey. Other key findings from this year’s survey include:
With regard to the community’s priorities in terms of the future of Jakarta EE, it is interesting to find that the first two priorities remain consistent from 2021 to 2022, while the third priority has shifted from "Faster pace of Innovation" to "Faster Support from existing Java EE / Jakarta EE or cloud vendors." This shift is indicative of increasing near-term demand for Jakarta EE support from today’s cloud hyperscales. Developers want better integration and support for their more advanced implementations now, rather than further down the road. The Jakarta EE community welcomes contributions and participation by all interested parties. As the Jakarta EE Working Group continues to build towards the release of Jakarta EE 10, including new cloud native functionality, this is the ideal time to join the community and have your voice heard.
