Hey everyone,

I wanted to give another quick update on the current progress of the =
Jakarta EE 11 work on TomEE.

Jakarta Data 1.0 has been integrated. Our implementation can be =
deactivated if you prefer to use the Jakarta Data implementation =
provided by Hibernate. That said, you can also use our implementation =
alongside Hibernate, so you have the flexibility to choose what works =
best for your setup. Feel free to try it (with a TomEE 11 snapshot) and =
report back, if you find issues ;-)

Jakarta Security: The Security TCK is up as a PR: =
https://github.com/apache/tomee/pull/2579 - feedback is very welcome. =
Some of the tests are already passing, but as expected it still needs =
work since we hadn't started on it before. The actual Security =
implementation for EE 11 is still missing, but now that we have the TCK =
in place, we can start tackling that soon.

REST (CXF): Markus did some work on the REST TCK and submitted a PR to =
CXF. This will likely require another CXF release to pick up those =
changes.

CDI (OWB): OpenWebBeans is still a work in progress and needs some love =
on the CDI 4.1 branch: =
https://github.com/apache/openwebbeans/commits/cdi-4.1/ - if someone =
wants to jump in, contributions are very welcome.

Concurrency 3.1 is up as a PR with a passing TCK: =
https://github.com/apache/tomee/pull/2577 -  feedback is welcome here as =
well.

JPA 3.2 (OpenJPA): There is an open PR that passes the JPA 3.2 TCK (with =
PostgreSQL) and implements the missing features in OpenJPA. However, the =
PR still needs some more love, in particular, the MariaDB/MySQL code =
paths need to be adjusted. See =
https://github.com/apache/openjpa/pull/142 - Help with fixing and/or =
reviewing would definitely be welcomed by the OpenJPA folks=20

So far so good from my side.

Richard=
