This is the project for the Jakarta Persistence Specification. The Jakarta Persistence Specification defines a standard for management of persistence and object/relational mapping in Java(R) environments.
The official location for all of the Jakarta EE API Specifications and Javadocs, including Jakarta Persistence, is on the Jakarta EE Specifications page. This web provides access to the Jakarta Persistence Specification DRAFTs and to the nigthly builds.
Latest stable DRAFT builds of the API and javadocs is 3.2.0 and it is available for use by vendors for implementation and for the general public to provide feedback on the latest additions, corrections and other updates in the specification.
NIGHTLY versions of the specification documents and Javadocs are for reference only and are not expected nor recommended for general use. They provide access to the latest, greatest features, which were just completed, but which are not yet available for direct implementation and/or use.
After each commit snapshot releases of the next version of Jakarta Persistence under development are published to the Jakarta Sonatype OSS repository. These snapshot releases have received only minimal testing, but may provide previews of bug fixes or new features under development.
For example, you can download the jakarta.persistence-api.jar file from the Jakarta Persistence 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT release here. Be sure to scroll to the bottom and choose the jar file with the most recent time stamp.
You’ll need to add the following configuration to your Maven ~/.m2/settings.xml to be able to use these with Maven:
<profiles>
<!-- to allow loading Jakarta snapshot artifacts -->
<profile>
<id>jakarta-oss-repo</id>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>jakarta-staging</id>
<name>Jakarta Staging</name>
<url>https://jakarta.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/staging/</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>jakarta-snapshots</id>
<name>Jakarta Snapshots</name>
<url>https://jakarta.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
</profile>
</profiles>
And then when you build use mvn -Pjakarta-oss-repo ... to get the latest SNAPSHOT or more stable staged version.
If you want the plugin repository to be enabled all the time so you don’t need the -P, add:
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>jakarta-oss-repo</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
