Java roundup tracks JDK 28 progress, Jakarta EE 12 dates and JNoSQL promotion
The September 28 roundup shows platform work moving from proposals and incubation into scheduled releases and project status changes.
InfoQ’s Java roundup for September 28, 2026, covers a cluster of releases and platform updates that matter to teams shipping on the JVM, including JobRunr 9.0.0, OpenXava 8.0.0, Quarkus 3.34.0, Micronaut 5.2.0/5.2.1, LangChain4j 1.21.0, and Eclipse JNoSQL 1.19.0. OpenJDK also advanced JEP 544, Ahead-of-Time Code Compilation, from Proposed to Target for JDK 28, while JDK 28 build 18 became available with fixes over build 17. On the Jakarta EE side, the Jakarta EE 12 timeline was firmed up, with Core Profile slated for December 1, Web Profile for March 31, and Platform for May 15, and discussion continued over whether Jakarta NoSQL should be included in the Web Profile. The roundup also notes that Eclipse JNoSQL moved from incubation to an Eclipse Enterprise for Java project, and that Google’s ADK for Java 1.11.0 and ADK for Kotlin 1.3.0 both shipped updates aimed at compatibility and new API support.
Why it matters
For teams on the JVM, this points to clearer timing and a more settled path for parts of the stack they depend on. JDK 28 is moving ahead, Jakarta EE 12 now has dated milestones, and Eclipse JNoSQL’s promotion signals a stronger footing inside the Java ecosystem.
