Jakarta EE components overview

Jakarta EE is the project to follow up Java Enterprise Edition. The name change follows the transition of the governance from Oracle to the Eclipse organisation. Jakarta EE9 is simply taking over from Java EE 8 without functional changes. It changes package namespaces to jakarta.* and  removes some obsolete API's. You can find the Java EE evolution up to Java EE8 in an earlier post. From Jakarta EE9 the components are evolving.
