We would like to thank the researchers for reporting the issue, reviewing the proposed fixes, and supporting the resolution process, as well as the members of the Eclipse Open VSX team who were involved.

Our annual report highlights the key achievements of the past year, including significant project and industry collaboration milestones, membership growth, and notable community engagement initiatives.

We’re looking to hear from both project developers and contributors eager to share their journey and evolution, and from project users who can speak to how they’re applying these tools in real-world use cases. Submit your talk for the Adoptium Summit and inspire a global Java audience.

How can open source tools empower young developers to reimagine healthcare in their local communities? The Code4Health Hackathon set out to explore exactly that: From 14–18 May 2025, high school students from across Southern Africa came together online for this event organised by the Girls Coding Academy in partnership with the Eclipse Foundation.

Tanja Obradovic explores the key features of the Jakarta EE 11 release, including TCK modernisation and streamlined specifications, in her new blog post.

The new Jakarta EE release modernises testing, boosts developer productivity, improves performance, and expands Java platform support.

This initiative is hosted by the Eclipse Foundation under the Eclipse S-CORE project, fostering an open and interoperable ecosystem for the entire automotive industry.

Last month we teamed up with GitHub to host “The Cyber Resilience Act and Open Source: What Maintainers Really Need to Know.” The one-hour panel zeroed in on the top worries we hear from open source project maintainers and contributors. Below is a recap—and, more importantly, where you’ll find the detailed answers in the ORC working group’s CRA FAQ.

Whether you represent an organisation that relies on open source to deliver products and services, or you’re an individual looking to give back to the projects you use everyday, sponsoring an Eclipse Foundation initiative is a meaningful way to make a lasting impact.
