The Apache OpenWebBeans team is proud to announce the release of Apache Meecrowave 1.2.4

Apache Meecrowave is a small java enterprise application server framework fully based on Apache Tomcat9 and other JavaEE 8 technologies.

    Apache Tomcat-9.0.12 (Servlets-4.0)
    Apache OpenWebBeans-2.0.7 (CDI-2.0)
    Apache Johnzon-1.1.10 (JSON-P-1.1 and JSON-B-1.0), and
    Apache CXF-3.2.6 (JAX-RS-2.1).

And all that in less than 10MB. That means it is ideally suited for Microservices and standalone applications.

Meecrowave can be either started via a maven plugin (for ease of development), programmatically as embedded server, bundled as application with your business code or as runner to start up portable WAR or JAR applications.

The source distribution package can be downloaded from our mirrors:
