MicroProfile, an Open-Source Community that collaborates on enterprise Java microservices, would like to announce the release of MicroProfile 5.0.
MicroProfile 5.0 enables MicroProfile APIs to be used together with Jakarta EE 9.1 (Jakarta EE namespace). This release was mainly focused on updating dependencies from javax to jakarta, as well as overall stability and usability improvements.
MicroProfile 5.0 lays the foundation for the rapid innovation of MicroProfile APIs for its 2022 releases.
[Required] Passing the 8 MicroProfile Specification TCKs
- MicroProfile Config 3.0
- MicroProfile Fault Tolerance 4.0
- MicroProfile Health 4.0
- MicroProfile JWT Authentication 2.0
- MicroProfile Metrics 4.0
- MicroProfile OpenAPI 3.0
- MicroProfile OpenTracing 3.0
- MicroProfile Rest Client 3.0
[Optional] Passing the 5 Jakarta Specification TCKs

The Compatibility Certification Request (CCR) accepts any version matching Java SE 8 or higher. The compatible implementation for releasing MicroProfile 5.0 is Open Liberty 22.0.0.1-beta. The test results for MicroProfile 5.0 can be viewed from here. This Open Liberty blog has more information for you to get started with MicroProfile 5.0.
The release follows the new MicroProfile Specification Process that adds agility to the release process to meet the MicroProfile three times per-year (February, June & October) release cadence.
Each specification included in MicroProfile 5.0 has updated its dependencies from javax to jakarta. Therefore, this release introduces incompatible changes.

- Annotation-based and programmatic APIs
- MicroProfile Starter for MicroProfile project generation
- A command-line interface (CLI) to generate gradle or maven projects.
