Apache TomEE vs Z-Wave JS UI
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Apache TomEE and Z-Wave JS UI — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Apache TomEE vs Z-Wave JS UI: at a glance
What is Apache TomEE?
TomEE opens a 10.3 line and a second EE11 milestone on the same day, with no notes
TomEE shipped 10.3.0 and 11.0.0-M2 within hours of each other on November 4, and both releases publish only the Maven release-plugin tag message. The 10.x line has moved from patch releases to a new minor, while the 11.x line, which carries the Jakarta EE 11 work on main, reached its second milestone four months after the first. The 10.x patch history behind them is mostly dependency bumps with one or two real TOMEE ticket fixes each.
What is Z-Wave JS UI?
Z-Wave JS UI 11.26 picks up zwave-js 15.32 and finishes the move to Node 24.
Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. 11.26.0 bumps zwave-js to 15.32.1 and moves the TypeScript base config to Node 24, completing the move that started with the Node 24 Docker image in 11.25.0. 11.25.2 had fixed self-signed certificates Node 24 rejected.

Apache TomEE
5.0DEVOPS
TomEE opens a 10.3 line and a second EE11 milestone on the same day, with no notes
◆ Current state
TomEE shipped 10.3.0 and 11.0.0-M2 within hours of each other on November 4, and both releases publish only the Maven release-plugin tag message. The 10.x line has moved from patch releases to a new minor, while the 11.x line, which carries the Jakarta EE 11 work on main, reached its second milestone four months after the first. The 10.x patch history behind them is mostly dependency bumps with one or two real TOMEE ticket fixes each.
◆ Where it's heading
The project is running two lines in parallel: 10.x as the stable Jakarta EE 10 target and 11.x as the milestone track for EE11. The roughly four-month gap between M1 and M2 suggests 11.0 is still several milestones from final. Release notes are getting thinner, so the changelog alone says less and less about what changed.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 10.3.x patches and an 11.0.0-M3; whether 10.3.0 holds real feature work cannot be read from the entries, which carry no notes.
Z-Wave JS UI
5.0DEVOPS
Z-Wave JS UI 11.26 picks up zwave-js 15.32 and finishes the move to Node 24.
◆ Current state
Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. 11.26.0 bumps zwave-js to 15.32.1 and moves the TypeScript base config to Node 24, completing the move that started with the Node 24 Docker image in 11.25.0. 11.25.2 had fixed self-signed certificates Node 24 rejected.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases follow upstream zwave-js versions, with occasional UI feature releases like 11.25.0 in between. Device support changes arrive through the driver rather than the UI.
◆ Prediction
Expect further zwave-js patch bumps; a UI-level feature release is less predictable from this feed.
