Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MicroProfile?

MicroProfile is a collection of features designed for a microservice-focused platform.

What is the relationship with Java EE?

There is no formal relationship with Java EE. The 1.0 release of MicroProfile was based on three APIs (CDI, JSON-P and JAX-RS) which are Java EE APIs, but the MicroProfile effort is not limited to the Java EE APIs. Brand new APIs are equally as valid as established APIs.

What is the relationship with the JCP?

MicroProfile is not governed by the JCP. Rather, it is an independent effort governed under the Eclipse Foundation and licensed under the Apache v2 Software License.

Who is involved?

Current vendors implementing MicroProfile specifications include:

  • Red Hat (WildFly Swarm)

  • IBM (WebSphere Open Liberty)

  • Payara (Payara MicroProfile)

  • Tomitribe (TomEE MicroProfile)

  • Hammock (MicroProfile distribution)

A more complete list of the various MicroProfile implementations and the specification versions they support can be found on the MicroProfile wiki.

There are many individuals who contribute to the MicroProfile project. The Java community as a whole is encouraged to take part and contribute to the project; there are no restrictions.

How can I get involved?

How do I join?

There is no formal "joining" process, since anyone is welcome to join the discussion in the Google Group. Depending on how involved you want to be, however, you may need to sign an Eclipse Contributor Agreement to contribute to the project.

How do I submit a proposal?

A process has been created specifically for the evolution of the MicroProfile, and can be found under the Feature Initialization section of the wiki.

What are the logo restrictions?

Use of branding for any vendor is subject to the restrictions of that vendor.
