Thanks Richard, two pages can be pre-reviewed :
- compare-jakarta-versions.html - comparison.html i believe we can choose only one of the two for release. which one do you find more readable ? (they differ in the detailed list of jakarta specs.) i'll try to update my page later to better reflect JRE ranges and your warnings on JRE/ASM. i have reflected JL work regarding MicroProfile dependencies in my draft PR. [image: image.png][image: image.png] also we could update TomEE 8.x to MicroProfile 4.1, (SmallRye?) but is it worth ?
