Hi Som, Great to meet you, and thanks for the post. I believe that if you were to invest time into learning how to develop Java EE 8 and “Jakarta EE” applications with NetBeans, then you would be on a path to success. Java EE 8 is still modern, although it will be outdated within the coming years. However, if you look toward development with the Jakarta EE Platform (newer Java EE platform that was open sourced under Eclipse Foundation), then I think you will find that it fits into your “b” category: Established and stable. Jakarta EE 8 uses the same API as Java EE 8, so you should be able to translate any tutorials of Java EE over to Jakarta EE without much trouble. Jakarta EE 9 introduces a new namespace, which will change things a bit, although the APIs will remain much the same as the standard Java EE/Jakarta EE 8 APIs.
Hope this helps.

Assuming my target domain is e-commerce distributed dynamic web applications. Would I be on a journey to master technologies which are on the ? : a) Bleeding Edge, b) Established stable leading edge , c) outdated (miss the boat) d) popular e) obscure Thanks in advance for your generous input.
