8.0.0-M10

Eclipse GlassFish 8 is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 11 M5 specification under development.

Jakarta EE 11 M5 is the fifth milestone release of Jakarta EE 11. Jakarta EE 11 M5 is functionally complete; all updated APIs for Jakarta EE 11 have been included and all compatible implementations thereof passed their respective TCKs. The next Jakarta EE 11 milestone (likely RC1) will focus only on small fixes and small service releases.

GlassFish 8 M10 incorporates all final APIs from the Jakarta EE 11 release plan, except for the Jakarta Data API. Jakarta Data is supported via an external build-time plug-in at the moment. Work is underway to support Jakarta Data natively in GlassFish.

8.0.0-M10 also incorporates all changes from the 7.0.x branch, and roughly corresponds to 7.0.21.

The following is the full list of Jakarta EE 11 M5 APIs included. All of the updated APIs are final.

* EclipseLink outside GF passes

JDK 17 is available for the special JDK 17 build, but this build is only intended for TCK purposes.
For the regular version of GlassFish 8, JDK 21 is required as a minimum and the final version of GlassFish 8 is targeted to certify on JDK 21 for Jakarta EE 11.

In this release GlassFish itself compiles, builds and passes the internal tests executed during a build. The PR verification tests all pass as well.

Being an early access milestone build, this build should obviously only be used for testing.
