About MicroProfile and Quarkus

[AnotherDevBoy]

Hi Quarkus friends!

I'm currently exploring MicroProfile and I was happy to see that there is a Quarkus implementation in the quarkiverse.

I was wondering if this is something that Quarkus plans to support and extend in the future (MP 5.0).

I'm also curious to hear any success stories with MP + Quarkus that you may have.

Thanks!

In fact, Eclipse MicroProfile is supported at the core of Quarkus: you have a lot of SmallRye extensions which are implementations of Eclipse MicroProfile.

AFAICS https://github.com/quarkiverse/quarkus-microprofile is not up to date so I would recommend that you use the individual SmallRye extensions in the core of Quarkus. See https://code.quarkus.io/?extension-search=origin:platform%20smallrye .

@radcortez do you actively maintain the Quarkiverse extension? I'm not sure I see its value? If you want to maintain it, it probably needs an update, if you don't then we should probably archive it.

I maintain it, but I usually only update the version when we break the Quarkus compatibility. Maybe it was not a good idea to tie the version to the Quarkus version.

Also, we need it to comply with the rules to run the TCKs and claim compatibility.

Yes, MP is core to Quarkus, and the core team implements the support.

MP 5 is only the Jakarta package rename (no feature differences, only javax to jakarta). As you can imagine, making Quarkus full Jakarta is a huge task (which is ongoing right now). When that is ready, then we will also move to MP 5.0.

Thanks for your response!

How can we keep up to date with the progress of the Jakarta package rename?

Please follow the progress here:

We also have a Jakarta local build to try:
