7.4.0 Release Notes

These release notes contain important information related to Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.4.

Beginning with JBoss EAP 7.4, we will be exclusively focusing on the Jakarta EE test suite for certification/compliance. In order to support our existing customers who may be migrating their applications from the previous JBoss EAP 7 versions, JBoss EAP 7.4 maintains backwards compatibility. Oracle donated Java EE 8 TCKs to Jakarta EE which are used by Jakarta EE 8 implementations (like JBoss EAP) to become Jakarta EE 8-compatible. Jakarta EE 8 APIs are equivalent to Java EE 8 APIs. Jakarta EE 8 specifications (technologies) are equivalent to Java EE 8 specifications (technologies).
