It packages IBM's open source Liberty runtime around the Jakarta namespace transition, the release family where enterprise Java APIs moved from `javax.*` to `jakarta.*`. ### Project history Open Liberty descends from IBM Liberty, created in 2012 for a smaller, modular application-server model and released as open source in 2017. The project became IBM's public development base for a runtime that implements Jakarta EE and MicroProfile while also underpinning WebSphere Liberty. Jakarta EE 9 and 9.1 were historically significant because they changed the package namespace from `javax` to `jakarta`. Open Liberty tracked that shift in its features: the Jakarta EE 9.1 platform feature combines the Liberty features for the full platform and uses `jakartaee-9.1` in server configuration. ### Adoption history Open Liberty was part of the Jakarta EE 9.1 ratification story: the project stated that its beta was compatible with both the Jakarta EE 9.1 Web Profile and Platform specifications using Java SE 8 and Java SE 11. That positioned Liberty as an early implementation for teams testing the namespace migration before larger fleet moves. The package's adoption role is therefore migration-oriented. It gives developers a packaged runtime for validating applications, build pipelines, and server.xml feature configuration against the Jakarta EE 9 generation rather than the Java EE 8/Jakarta EE 8 compatibility line. ### How it is used A developer selecting this package is usually dealing with applications or libraries that have moved to the `jakarta.*` APIs. In Open Liberty, enabling the platform pulls in the Jakarta EE Web Profile plus full-platform components such as connectors, messaging, mail, XML binding, XML web services, and application-client support. The broader Open Liberty workflow supports Maven, Gradle, Docker, and IDE tooling, but the Homebrew formula provides a simple package-manager route for local testing and operations scripts that expect a named runtime package. ### Why package nerds care openliberty-jakartaee9 is a clean example of a package name carrying standards-version semantics. The distinction from openliberty-jakartaee8 is not cosmetic: Jakarta EE 9 is the namespace migration line, so package catalogs need to treat it as a different compatibility target. It also shows why runtime packages for Java servers can age differently from the upstream project. A formula may be preserved to serve a standards line even while Open Liberty itself keeps releasing newer Jakarta EE platform levels. ### Timeline - 2012: IBM Liberty was created as a small-footprint Java runtime. - 2017: IBM released the Liberty source as Open Liberty. - 2020: Open Liberty public beta work exposed early Jakarta EE 9 features. - 2021: Open Liberty announced Jakarta EE 9.1 beta compatibility for both Web Profile and Platform on Java SE 8 and Java SE 11. - Open Liberty documentation defines `jakartaee-9.1` as the full Jakarta EE 9.1 Platform convenience feature. ### Related projects - Related projects include Jakarta EE 9.1, the Eclipse Transformer migration tooling, WebSphere Liberty, Open Liberty Web Profile 9, and Open Liberty's Maven, Gradle, and container-image distribution paths. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
