Jakarta Contexts and Dependency Injection 5.0 (Under development)
Release for Jakarta EE 12
Jakarta Contexts Dependency Injection specifies a means for obtaining objects in such a way as to maximize reusability, testability and maintainability compared to traditional approaches such as constructors, factories, and service locators (e.g., JNDI).
A complete list of issues and pull requests for this version can be viewed using CDI 5.0 Milestone and CDI TCK 5.0 Milestone in their respective GitHub repositories.
