4.5.0
Eclipse RAP 4.5.0 delivers incremental, stability-focused improvements while preserving full compatibility with existing RAP 4.x applications and the Eclipse Simultaneous Release. The runtime continues to use the same Servlet/container stack, with Jetty updated to 12.1.4 for a more current and secure runtime.
Key highlights:
- Inclusion of client UI and device features: a new barcode-scanning widget (based on zxing-js.browser) and improved camera widget behaviour — both widgets now support rotating available cameras and persist the last used camera independently via cookies.
- New runtime bundle and demos: RAP now ships an
org.eclipse.rap.rwt.addonsbundle that includes the new Camera and ClientCanvas controls; the Controls Demo and product configuration were updated to show these controls in action. - Improved server-side robustness: session lifecycle and resource cleanup were hardened to reduce stale state and improve reliability under load.
- Streamlined server request handling and error paths to produce more predictable behaviour and better diagnostics for integrators and operators.
- A set of community-reported bug fixes and internal cleanups further increase stability and developer ergonomics.
Overall, 4.5.0 is a conservative, reliability-oriented release that adds useful device-centric widgets and demo support while keeping the platform aligned with the Simultaneous Release and existing application compatibility.
The project leadership certifies that the APIs in this release are "Eclipse Quality".
- Jakarta EE 10
- Jakarta Servlet 6.0
