7.0.0-M8

Eclipse GlassFish is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the upcoming Jakarta EE 10, which is a new feature release. Jakarta EE 10 requires JDK 11 as a minimum, but also works on JDK 17.

Note: 7.0.0 M8 is a beta release, but containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs.

GlassFish 7.0.0-M8 compiles and runs on JDK 11 to JDK 19.

This release contains updated versions of the Jakarta EE 10 components and various other components.

Specifically new for this milestone release is that it fully passes both the Jakarta EE 10 Full TCK and the Jakarta EE 10 Web Profile TCK. Jakarta MVC support has been enabled again. This release contains many fixes for the logging functionality of GlassFish, specifically when logging under high load and at a detailed log level. MicroProfile Config (via Helidon) doesn't require a JDK 17 specific build anymore (but does require JDK 17 at runtime, as Helidon requires JDK 17).
