<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome to issue number three hundred and fifty-one of <a href="https://www.agilejava.eu/category/hashtag-jakartaee/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Hashtag Jakarta EE</em></a>!</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This week, I was touring the US East Coast with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerritgrunwald/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gerrit</a> from <a href="https://azul.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Azul</a>. We visited <a href="https://www.agilejava.eu/2026/09/17/philly-jug-2026/" data-type="post" data-id="9739">Philly JUG</a>, <a href="https://www.agilejava.eu/2026/09/18/garden-state-jug-2026/" data-type="post" data-id="9741">Garden State JUG</a>, and <a href="https://www.agilejava.eu/2026/09/18/new-york-java-sig-2026/" data-type="post" data-id="9743">New York Java SIG</a>. It was a great trip with lots of engagement with the Java community. Between the talks we had the opportunity to sit down and finalise a proposal for a new Jakarta specification, namely <strong>Jakarta CRaC</strong>. We have talked about it for a while and decided to make the proposal when <a href="https://azul.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Azul</a> acquired <a href="https://www.azul.com/products/payara-server/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Payara</a> earlier this year. The proposal will likely be out for community review shortly.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://jakarta.ee/specifications/coreprofile/12/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jakarta EE 12 Core Profile</a> will be released in December this year. The Web Profile and Platform specifications are planned to be released in Q1 and Q2 next year, so the Jakarta EE Platform project now also focuses on gathering feedback from the participating specifications. It is also expected that the team will run a vote to include <a href="https://jakarta.ee/specifications/nosql/1.1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jakarta NoSQL 1.1</a> in <a href="https://jakarta.ee/release/12/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jakarta EE 12</a>. When that happens, the community is encouraged to participate in that vote and give input even if only the committer’s votes will be binding.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Call-for-Paper for JakartaOne Livestream has closed and the Program Committee is working on reviewing the proposals. As soon as they are ready and the speakers have been notified, the program will be published. You can always go ahead and <a href="https://jakartaone.jakarta.ee/jakartaone-livestream-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">register</a> for the conference so you are sure not to miss any important updates.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After two busy days of traveling, we spent the day touring Manhattan before the third and last stop on the 2026 US JUG Tour . This night, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerritgrunwald/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gerrit</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivargrimstad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I</a> spoke at the <a href="https://www.javasig.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Java SIG</a> in front of an enthusiastic crowd.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As with the previous days, Gerrit started with his presentation Prompt and Pray where he walked us through the steps of creating a Jakarta EE application with AI coding agents. He compared the agents and showed the benefits of having the well-written Jakarta EE specifications as sort of guardrails for the agents to ensure a consistent, lean code base.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I followed up with my presentation about <a href="https://speakerdeck.com/ivargrimstad/augmenting-ai-with-the-power-of-jakarta-ee-f04120e2-d4ab-42a0-9887-9d0c45637813" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Augmenting AI with the Power of Jakarta EE</a>. I first gave a short history lesson, then an overview of Jakarta EE 11 before walking through a bunch of augmentation techniques to make the LLMs less stupid and more predictable. The session is mostly based on code samples, so it is a fun talk to do.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second stop on the 2026 US JUG Tour was <a href="https://gsjug.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Garden State JUG</a>.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I shortened down my talk a little, so they are more targeting the AI topic and less introduction <a href="https://speakerdeck.com/ivargrimstad/augmenting-ai-with-the-power-of-jakarta-ee-59d139b9-c16e-4947-b154-b229c5ec2fd9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">slides</a>. It fits a little better and gives me more time for the demos, which are the main draw of this presentation anyway. Gerrit did a little more explaining the concept of Spec-Driven-Development before jumping into the part of prompting the creation of a Jakarta EE application.</p>

<div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This Monday, I visited the <a href="https://www.azul.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philly JUG</a> together with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerritgrunwald/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gerrit</a> from <a href="https://www.azul.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Azul</a>. In his talk <em>From Prompt to Code</em>, he talked about how to create an application from scratch using AI. He pointed coding agents, such as Claude and IBM Bob as well as regular ChatGPT to the Jakarta EE specifications and told them to keep within the boundaries of the specifications. It turned out that the output from the different AI tools were very similar, which is due to the nature of the specifications, thus achieving a repeatable process and AI vendor independence.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In my talk titled <a href="https://speakerdeck.com/ivargrimstad/augmenting-ai-with-the-power-of-jakarta-ee-52164d12-61f4-4d0e-b3d1-8ee032480f79" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Augmenting AI with the Power of Jakarta EE</a>, I went through several agentic approaches to augment the LLM using Jakarta EE and LangChain4J-CDI. I also gave a short overview of<a href="https://jakarta.ee" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Jakarta EE</a> and <a href="https://jakarta.ee/specifications/platform/11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jakarta EE 11</a> to set the stage.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This was the first stop of our 2026 US JUG Tour. Next up is <a href="https://gsjug.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Garden State JUG</a>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">IntelliJ IDEA Conf is a virtual conference where the speakers and hosts are gathered in the same location. The 2026 edition was supposed to be in Cyprus in March, but due to the World situation, it was relocated to Amsterdam in September.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My talk was <a href="https://speakerdeck.com/ivargrimstad/the-past-present-and-future-of-enterprise-java-7b761abe-9bae-4762-8b62-55a9c45faa7e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Past, Present, and Future of Enterprise Java</a>. It was hosted by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/antonarhipov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anton</a>, who has a long history with enterprise Java from various communities and companies, so we were able to have a good dialogue during the talk, with some anecdotes from the past.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t despair if you missed it.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is an interesting concept for a virtual conference. The studio setup with a host makes it feel more like a conversation than doing a recording in your home office. Hence, it gives a much more dynamic feel to the talk. Since all speakers were gathered there, we had the opportunity to network and chat with each other during the whole two days. The<a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> IntelliJ IDEA</a> team from <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JetBrains</a> also ran a couple of sessions about various topics that we could attend.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Between the sessions, they had a photographer take our speaker portraits. The “fold-your-arms” pose is usually a favorite among portrait photographers, so I have done a few over the years. Here is a side-by-side with the photo taken this week in Amsterdam and one taken ten years ago in Malmö. Ten years later. Same pose. A little more gray hair and a new T-shirt.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This was my first <a href="https://2026.javazone.no/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JavaZone</a> as an exhibitor. I didn’t have a talk this year, so I spent the time on the exhibition floor at the <a href="https://jakarta.ee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jakarta EE</a> booth with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/shabnam-mayel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shabnam</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanja-obradovic-095604/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tanja</a>. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/arjantijms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arjan</a> from <a href="https://omnifish.ee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OmniFish</a> was also there, helping out with the booth. We had a steady stream of attendees, speakers, exhibitors, and organizers stopping by, which resulted in lots of good conversations about anything related to tech and/or <a href="https://jakarta.ee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jakarta EE</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I usually hang out on the exhibition floor between talks when I am at conferences. When we have a booth, even more so. In addition to hanging out at the booth, I attended a couple of talks as well. A special feature of JavaZone is that there is no allocated time slot for lunch. Food is served throughout the day in the exhibition area. I wonder this concept isn’t adopted by more conferences. It generates a stead stream of people to an around the exhibitors. And the long lines at lunch is avoided.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Due to the passing of the King of Norway just a couple of days before the conference, the mood in Oslo was naturally a little subdued. On the other hand, there were more people out and about than there usually is. The conference wasn’t affected by this at all, at least nothing I could notice.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After a relaxing August, I am now ready for the upcoming conference season. I have lots of talks planned at conferences and Java User Groups all over the World.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome to issue number three hundred and forty-seven of <a href="https://www.agilejava.eu/category/hashtag-jakartaee/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Hashtag Jakarta EE</em></a>!</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In my post from <a href="https://www.agilejava.eu/2026/07/17/jakartaone-dominican-republic-2026/" data-type="post" data-id="9574">JakartaOne Dominican Republic 2026</a>, I highlighted the Coffee Builder plugin created by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/diegosilval/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diego Silva Limaco</a>. It is an awesome project to make the everyday life of a Jakarta EE developer easier. Guess what? Great news! Diego just created a <a href="https://projects.eclipse.org/proposals/eclipse-coffee-builder-jakarta-ee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">project proposal for the Eclipse Coffee Builder for Jakarta EE</a>. It is currently under Community Review, as defined by the <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eclipse Foundation Development Process</a>. I urge you to check out this cool project, try it out, provide feedback, and even better, contribute back. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The goal of releasing <a href="https://jakarta.ee/specifications/coreprofile/12/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jakarta EE 12 Core Profile</a> in time for <a href="https://jakartaone.jakarta.ee/jakartaone-livestream-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JakartaOne Livestream 2026</a> seems to be on track. In parallel with this, the Jakarta EE Platform project is starting to pay closer attention to the specifications of the <a href="https://jakarta.ee/specifications/webprofile/12/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Web Profile</a> and the <a href="https://jakarta.ee/specifications/platform/12/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Platform</a> itself. Their release target is in the first half of next year.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Speaking of JakartaOne Livestream. We are still eager to receive your talk proposals. The CFP is open for a couple of more weeks, so there is still time. But, as always, submit early and often is a better strategy to increase your chances of getting a talk accepted. The program committee is particularly interested in talks about how you leverage AI in your enterprise applications. Which tools are you using for integration, how are you using them, pitfalls, and recommendations. Talks about tooling for Jakarta EE are also interesting. </p>
