Title: What's up with open standard enterprise Java and AI?

Outline

Find and share some old proof from our history that shows Jakarta EE knows that standards are for standardizing, not innovating.
AND at the same time Jakarta EE knows that customers do look to Jakarta EE for direction and leadership.
In this context here are several open standard enterprise Java AI efforts. For each one describe the current state, current direction, and possible path to standardization.
- MicroProfile AI.
- Quarkus AI.

Please fill in more.

Greetings programs,

With the Jakarta EE 11 release review ballot safely underway, it is time to conduct a retrospective. We will use the Tuesday 24 June 2025 11:00 - 12:00 EDT occurrence for this purpose.

Even if you don't normally attend these meetings, please consider attending this one.

https://eclipse.zoom.us/j/82720968518?pwd=XQLunKYMRJFSbNtgouPG5TcNTwEafa.1

In the next week, ask yourself some questions about your participation in Jakarta EE.

What might have prompted you to be more involved?

At the 2025-04-29 Platform call, this proposal was declared dead-on-arrival.

Background for making the request

An important set of EE 11 TCK tests are currently failing: the subset of the Connectors specification relating to the use of Servlet and JSP with Connectors. For discussion: ConnectorServletJsp [tck-2183]
The cause of the failure has been determined to not be in the EE 11 TCK.
- The same set of tests when run with GlassFish 7 do not fail.
Therefore, we assert the failure is an implementation bug in GlassFish 8.0-JDK17.

A CDI (Contexts and Dependency Injection) Portable Extension is a feature in CDI that allows developers to extend the CDI container's functionality in a portable, container-independent way. Portable extensions can leverage the CDI SPI (Service Provider Interface) to interact with the CDI container at various lifecycle events such as initialization, shutdown, and during the processing of beans.

Key characteristics of CDI Portable Extensions:

Portability: They are designed to work across different CDI implementations and containers.
Integration: They can interact with the CDI container lifecycle and modify the behavior of the CDI environment.
Customization: They allow adding custom behavior, such as registering new beans, interceptors, decorators, and observers.

In contrast, a non-portable CDI extension would typically be specific to a particular CDI implementation or container and may use non-standard APIs, making it less portable and reusable across different environments.
