End Of Life releases can be commercially obtained with support from the Eclipse Jetty developers through Webtide or in strictly binary form from its partners HeroDevs and TuxCare. On 15 October 2026 the Jetty project published nine security advisories. The fixes themselves are not new: they shipped at the start Read more
The focus on security has recently seen an explosion (pun intended), mostly due to the use of AI, for good and for bad — the bad due to AI slop. The Jetty Project takes security reports very seriously: we verify them against Jetty, and if Jetty is found to be Read more
Webtide (https://webtide.com) is the company behind the open-source Jetty and CometD projects. Since 2006, Webtide has fully funded the Jetty and CometD projects through services and support, including migration assistance, production support, developer assistance, and CVE resolution.

Java’s Virtual Threads (aka Project Loom or JEP 444) have arrived as a full platform feature in Java 21, which has generated considerable interest and many projects (including Eclipse Jetty) are adding support. I have previously been somewhat skeptical about how significant any advantages Virtual Threads actually have over Platform Read more
Several months ago, the Eclipse Foundation approached the Eclipse Jetty project with the offer of a security audit. The effort was being supported through a collaboration with the Open Source Technology Improvement Fund (OSTIF), with the actual funding coming from the Alpha-Omega Project. Upon reflection, this collaboration could not have Read more
Now that Jetty 12.0.1 is released to Maven Central, we’ve started to get a few questions about where some artifacts are, or when we intend to release them (as folks cannot find them). Things have change with Jetty, starting with the 12.0.0 release. First, is that our historical versioning of Read more
Executive Summary Virtual Threads, introduced in Java 19, are supported in Jetty 12, as they have been in Jetty 10 and Jetty 11 since 10.0.12 and 11.0.12, respectively. When virtual threads are supported by the JVM and enabled in Jetty (see embedded usage and standalone usage), applications are invoked using Read more

Introduction HTTP/3 is the next iteration of the HTTP protocol. HTTP/1.0 was released in 1996 and HTTP/1.1 in 1997; HTTP/1.x is a fairly simple textual protocol based on TCP, possibly wrapped in TLS, that experienced over the years a tremendous growth that was not anticipated in the late ’90s.
