InfoQ, Monday, April 7th, 2025
This week's Java roundup for March 31st, 2025, features news highlighting: the formal release of the Jakarta EE 11 Web Profile; the eleventh milestone release of GlassFish 8.0.0; point releases TornadoVM 1.1.0, Micronaut 4.8.0 and JHipster 8.10.0; and a new JEP candidate to remove the Applet API.
OpenJDK
JEP 504, Remove the Applet API, was elevated from its JEP Draft 8345525 to Candidate status. This JEP proposes to remove the Applet API, deprecated in JDK 17, due to its continued obsolescence since applets are no longer supported in web browsers.
JDK 25
Build 17 of the JDK 25 early-access builds was made available this past week featuring updates from Build 16 that include fixes for various issues. More details on this release may be found in the release notes.
