Java 11 use has surged to 20 percent, with many enterprises apparently leap frogging Java 9 and 10.Java EE 8 adoption has picked up and stands at 37 percent compared to 21 percent in the 2018 survey.Clearly the future of Jakarta EE is cloud native.” “What’s most interesting is to see the acceleration in the adoption of Java in new cloud native architectures. “Java continues to dominate as the language of choice for organizations deploying applications in production environments and this latest survey shows the same level of support as our 2018 survey,” said Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation. The top three community priorities for Jakarta EE are a tie at first with better support for microservices and native integration with Kubernetes (both at 61 percent) followed by production quality reference implementations (37 percent).Eclipse Microprofile experienced a surge in usage, more than doubling in adoption from 13 percent in 2018 to 28 percent today.Spring and Spring Boot continue to dominate as the leading framework for building cloud native applications in Java.The microservices architecture is the dominant approach to implementing Java in the cloud, according to 43 percent of respondents.

The number of Java applications running in the cloud is projected to increase significantly over the next two years, with 32 percent of respondents expecting that they will be running nearly two-thirds of their Java applications in the cloud in two years time.

Cloud native is critically important with a third of developers currently building cloud native architectures and another 30 percent planning to within the next year.

The future of the Java ecosystem and Jakarta EE is increasingly driven by new cloud workloads and capabilities.

The goal of the survey was to help Java ecosystem stakeholders better understand the requirements, priorities, and perceptions of enterprise Java developer communities. The survey was conducted by the Eclipse Foundation in March of 2019 in cooperation with member companies and partners, including the London Java Community and Java User Groups worldwide. OTTAWA, (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - The Eclipse Foundation, the platform for open collaboration and innovation, today released the 2019 Jakarta EE developer survey that canvassed nearly 1,800 Java developers about their adoption of Jakarta EE and trends in Java programming.
