Is Jakartha EE the new standard & JDK 8 based?

Dear Authors,

Is it a fact that the first release of Jakarta EE will be JDK8 based, why not on Java 9 taking advantage of the modularization
that came with Java 9 ?

Thank

Hello Meebakshi Sudar,

Thank you for question.

It is a very good question. The jakarta EE is based on Java EE 8 and after the new features will be added into Jakarta EE. In this step, the mission is migrate the Java EE 8 to Jakarta EE. The Java EE 8 is JDK8 based, then the Jakarta EE will be JDK8 based.
