"From the discussions in the Jakarta EE Platform call[s] the last couple of weeks, it looks like we won't see a release of Jakarta EE 12 on this side of summer (on the Northern Hemisphere at least). The reason is that since Jakarta EE 11 was delayed by a year, most of the vendors are currently working on their implementations."
"At the same time, we want to play catch-up with the original plan and direction directive from the Steering Committee of the Jakarta EE Working Group to release a major release of Jakarta EE 12 about six to nine months after an LTS release of Java. So a compromise will be to release Jakarta EE 12 by the end of 2026."
Jakarta EE 12 has been postponed with a compromise target to release by the end of 2026 to accommodate vendor implementation work and to align roughly six to nine months after a Java LTS. Several Jakarta EE specifications reached milestone 2, including Jakarta Contexts and Dependency Injection 5.0 and Jakarta Persistence 4.0. Build 33 of JDK 26 and Build 7 of JDK 27 early-access builds were published with fixes; developers are encouraged to report bugs via the Java Bug Database. The January 2026 Open Liberty update, a Quarkus point release, maintenance updates for Spring Shell, Apache Tomcat, and Gradle, and JHipster 9.0 beta releases 1 and 2 were announced.
