Full JEE, not just servlets, performance, reloading, and a bunch of enterprise features. Resin existed.

After about 10+ years Spring kind of took over JEE.

Omg. Spring was just like moving code to xml. Different now, but still.

What I miss from JEE:

- single file ear/war deployment, today that’s a docker image

- the whole resource api from Java (filesystem/jar doesn’t matter). It means you don’t necessarily have to unpack the jar

- configuration / contexts for settings, + UI for it, database connections etc. Docker kind of works, most most images fail to achieve this. Docker compose kind of takes care of things.

- as said before.. all Java still runs everywhere
