The best jPOS version is usually the latest one.

That may sound counterintuitive if your organization treats -SNAPSHOT as a synonym for "unstable", but that is not how we operate jPOS and jPOS-EE. We work hard to keep the latest snapshots production-ready. We run them in production ourselves. They are where the current fixes, optimizations, dependency updates, security improvements, and newly certified behavior land first.

In practice, the latest snapshot is often the most advanced, optimized, and feature-rich jPOS version available.

Following the same branch model we adopted for jPOS last December, jPOS-EE is now aligned with JEP-14 — The Tip & Tail Model of Library Development.

The rename is straightforward:

• The next branch (jPOS-EE 3.x) becomes main — the tip, where active development happens.
• The master branch (jPOS-EE 2.x) becomes tail — the stable series, receiving only critical fixes.

REQUIRED ACTIONS​

On your existing next branch:​

git branch -m next main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main
git remote set-head origin -a

On your existing master branch:​

git branch -m master tail
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/tail tail
