The State of Java in the Enterprise
We are all aware of the changes that are going on in Java like the change of the name of the enterprise Java to Jakarta EE and many more. But, one change has changed the future of Java in the enterprise. We are talking about the transfer of governance of Jakarta EE to the Eclipse Foundation.
The prominent goal of this change is to create new innovations for Java developers to come forward in a container-driver enterprise world.
Today we will look at the future of Java for the enterprise. Let’s walk through it.
Java in today’s scenario
Java is a computing platform that completely relies on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). Java came as a huge relief from the complexities of other programming languages like C++. Java was the first “write one, run anywhere” (WORA) language. Also, Java-based applications are known for their speed and scalability.
But today, container management platforms and PaaS have become the biggest competitor of Java.
Enterprise Development Trends
The frequency of deploying applications has become more critical than ever and the IT organizations that are performing great are frequently deploying more and more applications. When businesses are not using software for themselves, they are utilizing the software for consumer use. There are many cases when Enterprises have to do both. And hence, the move from traditional It views to a centralized culture around DevOps is being planned.
The shift has now made a way for new technologies and enterprise development trends.
The challenges that need a solution are-
Security
After the handing over of the governance to The Eclipse Foundation, the biggest challenge is how a Java-based platform will ensure security. As multi-cloud environments and integrations are giving way to security challenges, this question is troubling many developers out there.
Jakarta EE will need to be more innovative while focusing on keeping applications safe and secure from cyber-attacks.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)
We all know that PWAs are taking hold of the enterprise world. Now, how do Java web apps compete with them?
Current Java instances are bulkier than other lightweight platforms that are used to code, But Jakarta EE is positively hoping to overcome this drawback by shifting their focus more on cloud-native development.
Development Shifted on to end-user
Today, development is shifted more and more towards the end-user to create customized experiences for enterprise applications. But Jakarta EE ensures meeting the requirements.
If they have to stay ahead in the game they need to plan for end-user development which Java surely seems to be doing.
Scope to grow
With the Internet of Things taking over all the market, Java development platforms should be flexible with future scope to grow.
With The Eclipse Foundation behind the curtain we can expect new innovations and Java meeting the demands of a changing enterprise market.
Open-source
In recent times, open-source technologies have been on a rise and have been adopted in multiple areas like databases, operating systems, virtualization and many more. Also there is a continuous demand for these open source technologies.
Keeping that in mind, The Eclipse Foundation has made it very clear that it intends for an open source community for Jakarta EE.
The future of Java with The Eclipse Foundation
The Eclipse foundation is full of hopes and focused to take Java into the clouds to give PaaS and Containers a tough fight. Oracle released the governance of Java to The Eclipse Foundation with a great strategy of taking Java which is more platform central to enterprise operations and focus more on innovation to keep it relevant in the market.
The Eclipse Foundation has decided to dive into MicroProfile to make Jakarta EE lightweight to be cloud-ready. The vision is to create a cloud platform where Java developers can code in Jakarta EE with software with Java experience to deliver cloud services.
Final thoughts about Java in Enterprise
Ever since its release in 1990, Java has been a leader in enterprise coding technologies and even after so many years, it is still considered as one of the prominent figures in modern-day application architecture.
Java offers a cross-platform standard to develop rich and robust applications for both internal and external customers. But after the push by container platforms, Java is experiencing a hard time. However, with this new change in governance to The Eclipse Foundation, developers will be able to do many functions as they are doing in the container platforms. As the Foundation stated- Jakarta EE’s mission is to offer more frequent releases and lower barriers to participation to put the community back at the top.
