# Java EE and Jackarta EE versions
12+
13+
Given that downstream users are likely to depend on either Java EE (in
14+
the javax namespace) or on Jakarta EE (in the jakarta namespace) in
15+
their projects, it was deemed important for logback to support both EE
16+
alternatives.
17+
18+
**Version 1.3.x supports Java EE, while version 1.4.x supports Jakarta EE.**
19+
The two versions are feature identical. Both versions require slf4j-api
20+
version 2.0.0 or later.
21+
22+
Both 1.3.x and 1.4.x series require the fluent-API introduced in SLF4J
23+
2.0.x.
24+
25+
The 1.3.x series requires Java 8 at runtime. If you wish to build
26+
logback from source, you will need Java 9. Reproducible builds require
27+
Java 18.
28+
29+
The 1.4.x series requires Java 11 at build time and at runtime.
