Java and MicroProfile: New Features and Trends

Java continues to evolve with the latest SE releases enhancing performance and features, while MicroProfile drives modern microservices development by standardizing APIs like telemetry, fault tolerance, and REST clients—enabling streamlined, resilient, and cloud-native Java applications.

Java and Microprofile: New Features and Trends

1 ) Introduction to Java and MicroProfile

  Java continues to be a key programming language powering digital innovation.

  MicroProfile is an open forum that optimizes Enterprise Java for microservices architecture through collaboration and standardization.

  The latest major MicroProfile release is version 7.1 (released June 2025 ), which updates Telemetry and OpenAPI specifications.

2 ) Latest Java Platform Developments

  Java SE 24 is the latest Java SE Platform release, free to use and supported until September 2025.

  Java SE 21 remains the Long Term Support (LTS) release.

  Oracle and OpenJDK provide multiple packages supporting diverse platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows) and architectures (x64, ARM64 ).

3 ) MicroProfile Specifications Overview

  MicroProfile 7.1 incorporates major updates to Telemetry (2.1 ) and OpenAPI (4.1 ).

  Other key specifications include Rest Client 4.0, Config 3.1, Fault Tolerance 4.1, JWT Authentication 2.1, Health 4.0, Metrics 4.0, and Core Profile.

  MicroProfile 5.0 aligned with Jakarta EE 9.1 introduces namespace changes impacting compatibility.

4 ) MicroProfile 7.1 Key Features and Updates

  Enhancements in MicroProfile Telemetry improve metrics and tracing for microservices.

  OpenAPI 4.1 update refines API documentation and interaction.

  Rest Client improvements allow type safe, declarative HTTP calls via annotated Java interfaces, facilitating separation of business logic and REST configuration.

  Fault tolerance and health check updates bolster microservice resilience and observability.

  Support for OpenID Connect, JWT security, and secure communication with TLS certificates.

5 ) MicroProfile Compatible Implementations

  Popular runtimes supporting recent MicroProfile versions include Open Liberty, Quarkus, Payara, and WildFly.

  Implementations certify compatibility with Java 8 to Java 17 and above.

  Payara Platform 5.182 introduced MicroProfile REST Client 1 )3 with OpenTracing and OpenAPI support.

6 ) MicroProfile Development and Community

  Community driven development allows contributions, idea sharing, and collaboration to evolve MicroProfile.

  The MicroProfile Working Group publishes specifications under Eclipse Foundation licenses.

  Various guides and resources support developers adopting MicroProfile for cloud native, containerized Java microservices.

7 ) Java and MicroProfile Ecosystem Tools

  Open Liberty offers features modularized as units for targeted runtime configuration.

  MicroProfile supports features for configuration, fault tolerance, health checks, metrics, JWT Authentication, OpenAPI, OpenTracing, reactive messaging, and telemetry.

  Developers utilize modern dependency injection (CDI), JAX RS, JSON B, and JSON P APIs within MicroProfile environments.

Summary:  

Java remains a foundational language with continuous evolution in Java SE releases, while the MicroProfile project actively shapes Enterprise Java’s trajectory toward microservices. The recent MicroProfile 7.1 release focuses on enhanced telemetry and API specifications to streamline microservice development, monitoring, and security. Supported by multiple compatible runtimes, MicroProfile promotes standardized, flexible, and robust Java microservices architectures in modern cloud environments.
