The '''Jakarta Project''' created and maintained [[open source software]] for the [[Java platform]]. It operated as an umbrella project under the auspices of the [[Apache Software Foundation]], and all Jakarta products are released under the [[Apache License]]. As of December 21, 2011 the Jakarta project was retired because no subprojects were remaining.

In 2018 Jakarta EE, a part of the Eclipse Enterprise for Java (EE4J) project, became the new name for the [[Java EE]] platform at the [[Eclipse Foundation]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/04/java_ee_is_now_jakarta_ee/ |title= Java EE renamed 'Jakarta EE' after Big Red brand spat |author=Richard Chirgwin |date=March 2018 |work=[[The Register]] |page=1 |access-date=19 March 2018}}</ref>
