Spring Boot 3.0.0 M1 Release Notes

Upgrading from Spring Boot 2.x

Deprecations from Spring Boot 2.x

Classes, methods and properties that were deprecated in Spring Boot 2.x have been removed in this release. Please ensure that you aren’t calling deprecated methods before upgrading.

Minimum Requirements Changes

Spring Boot 3.0 makes the following changes to its minimum supported versions:

  • Gradle 7.3

  • Jakarta EE 9

  • Java 17

  • Kotlin 1.6

  • Spring Framework 6

Jakarta EE 9

Where Spring Boot depends upon a Jakarta EE specification, 3.0 has upgraded to the version that is included in Jakarta EE 9. For example, Spring Boot 3.0 uses the Servlet 5.0 and JPA 3.0 specifications.

To differentiate between modules that support Jakarta EE 8 and modules that support Jakarta EE 9, some projects have published their Jakarta EE 9-compatible modules with different artifact IDs. For example, Undertow uses a -jakartaee9 suffix and Hibernate uses -jakarta. Generally speaking, Spring Boot’s starter modules should handle this change for you. If you are declaring dependencies on third-party modules directly, you may need to update your dependency declarations to use the EE 9-compatible artifact IDs.

As part of this upgrade to Jakarta EE 9, support for some dependencies has been reduced or removed where support was not available. We hope to reinstate support as the ecosystem gradually adapts to the new package names in Jakarta EE 9. In the meantime, support for the following has been removed:

  • EhCache 3

  • H2’s web console

  • Hibernate’s metrics

  • Infinispan

  • Jolokia

  • Pooled JMS

  • REST Assured

  • SMTP appending with Logback

  • SMTP appending with Log4j 2

Jersey

Support for Jersey has been temporarily removed as it does not yet support Spring Framework 6.

Removed Support

Support for the following dependencies has been removed in Spring Boot 3.0:

  • Apache ActiveMQ

  • Atomikos

  • EhCache 2

  • Hazelcast 3

JSON-B

Dependency management for Apache Johnzon has been removed in favor of Eclipse Yasson. A Jakarta EE 9-compatible version of Apache Johnzon can be used with Spring Boot 3, but you will now have to specify a version in your dependency declaration.
