Eclipse Starter for Jakarta EE

This is the official Eclipse Foundation starter for Jakarta EE. It generates code to help get started with Jakarta EE projects using Maven. It is possible to do so using Maven Archetypes. In the future the starter will include a Web UI.

Current Release

Please note that this is a development version of the starter. For the current release, please visit the project website. This code will allow you to use features that are not yet released. It will also allow you to build the starter from source.

Building from Source

In order to build the project from source, please download this repository on your file system (the easiest way may be to download as zip). Then execute the following. Please ensure you have installed a Java SE 8+ implementation and Maven 3+ (we have tested with Java SE 8, Java SE 11 and Java SE 17).

mvn clean install

Generate Jakarta EE Projects

There are currently multiple separate Archetypes available.

  • You can generate the appropriate maven commands for them on the start.jakarta.ee website.

There is also a demo archetype with demonstrates more features of Jakarta EE.

  • The REST/CRUD archetype generates a simple RESTful CRUD service using a representative set of Jakarta EE technologies such as REST, Enterprise Beans, CDI, Persistence, JSON Binding and Bean Validation. It also includes JUnit tests.

Please look at the documentation for the respective archetypes on how to use them. If desired, you can easily use the Maven Archetypes from a Maven capable IDE such as Eclipse. The generated starter code is simply Maven projects. You can easily load, explore and run the code in a Maven capable IDE such as Eclipse.

Roadmap

The following is a high level roadmap for the project. All contributions are welcome advancing any of this work.

Known Issues

  • Note that Payara does not yet work on the Apple M1 chip. If you are on an M1 chip, we suggest you use GlassFish or TomEE for the time being with the archetypes.

Contributing

We welcome contributions to the project in many forms. Please see the Contributing page for more information.
