Note:
Spring Boot 3.0 (released in November 2022) migrated to Jakarta EE by updating from the
javax.* namespaces to the new jakarta.* namespaces. This was part of the transition from Java
EE to Jakarta EE after the Eclipse Foundation took over Java EE.
Key Details:
● Spring Boot 3.0 supports Jakarta EE 9 and beyond.
● The migration from javax.* to jakarta.* namespaces was required by the Jakarta EE
specifications from Jakarta EE 9 (released in 2020).
Compatibility:
● Spring Boot 2.x (prior to 3.0) still uses Java EE (i.e., javax.* namespace).
● Spring Boot 3.0 and beyond are fully aligned with Jakarta EE 9 and Jakarta EE 10, which
require using the jakarta.* namespace.
