Original: Java 25 LTS Is Here. Your Framework Ready for the Migration?

Short summary

Java 25 LTS adoption is urgent due to Oracle's Java 21 licensing expiry in September 2026. Spring Boot 4.x migration requires extensive refactoring (javax→jakarta, package renames), while Solon 4.0 offers a cleaner alternative with 10x faster startup, 7x less memory, and native AI agent sandbox support.

  • Oracle's NFTC license for Java 21 expires September 2026, forcing millions of applications to Java 25 or later
  • Spring Boot 4.x migration requires significant refactoring due to namespace changes and deprecated APIs; Solon 4.0 requires minimal changes
  • Solon 4.0 outperforms Spring Boot 4.0 on Java 25: 10x faster startup, 7x less memory, 22x smaller package size, plus native AI agent sandbox
