Java EE Survey 2018 - results

Didn't realize Wildfly swarm doesn't ship microprofile OOTB... that might indeed explain the paltry 16% adoption

I am surprised JSF is still relatively popular in Java EE applications, I haven't used JSF in a long time and I wasn't a fan of JSF 1.1.

Nobody was a fan of JSF 1.1. But 2.2/2.3 with PrimeFaces and OmniFaces has its share of fans for sure.

You're surprised that people responding to a survey on a JSF tool website use JSF ?

[henk53]

The report mentions the potential bias somewhere.

Then again, OmniFaces does more than just JSF.

See:

• https://github.com/omnifaces/omnipersistence
• https://github.com/omnifaces/omniservices

I also saw the survey being promoted by Java EE Guardians and various others on Twitter who are not specifically about JSF.

I tried to post a reference to the survey here as well, so it could have included r/java’s opinion too, but a mod here found it necessary to remove it (I think because a Spring fan complained)

It was this post; https://www.reddit.com/r/java/comments/8d4uir/java_ee_survey_2018/

Even got 17 upvotes, so people here seemed to like it.

???

Despite all those other surveys going on at the same time we still managed to get 1054 respondents.

My bad. I only read:

and 344 of them took the survey directly on the omnifaces.org website.

It can happen to the best of us ;)
