The MicroProfile pom will identify the contents of each MicroProfile release. The contents include those features and versions agreed to by the MicroProfile community. These features may be external to the MicroProfile community, like those provided by Jakarta EE Core Profile or the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (like Open Telemetry), or they are component specifications of the MicroProfile project (such as Config).
Since the MicroProfile repo is an "umbrella" project, no individual API or TCK is generated for this specification. This specification documents the component specification contents of each release.
The specifications for each release are listed in reverse chronological order.
MicroProfile 6.0 replaces required individual Jakarta specifications in prior releases like Jakarta Restful in Web Services and JSON Binding with Jakarta EE 10 Core Profile.
Based on MicroProfile’s time-boxed release process, this is a major release that includes backward incompatible changes. This release requires Jakarta EE Core Profile 10, which uses the jakarta namespace introduced in Jakarta EE 9.
