PAST STORY/ACHIEVEMENTS
LJC took a part in the Java EE Guardians group whose aim was to discuss with Oracle the future of Java EE as an Open Source project at a time when very little was happening in terms of Java EE development (5 years ago). As a result of the work of this group Oracle has donated all property related to Java EE to Eclipse foundation and Jakarta EE has been born. Since then we have been involved in work of different Working Groups of the project.
