In Jakarta, the words Api and Architecture are not used in the naming of technologies. Thus, the naming is more concise and consistent than in the Java EE and J2EE versions. I omit the beginning Jakarta of each name of a technology, i.e. Jakarta Persistence is listed under Persistence.
In Jakarta EE 8, Java Authorization Contract for Containers (JACC) was renamed to Jakarta Authorization and Java Authentication Service Provider Interface for Containers (JASPIC) was renamed to Jakarta Authentictaion.
The list of technologies for the full platform specification is given in section 9.7., Full Jakarta™ EE Product Requirements of eachs version’s specification document. In Jakarta, the technologies are no longer grouped into their area of application as is was the case for Java EE versions. For Jakarta EE 8 to Jakarta EE 9.1, the order of technologies in the list was somewhat arbitrary. In the specification document for Jakarta EE 10 the technologies are listed in alphabetical order, which I find most convenient.
The technologies for the Jakarta EE Web Profile and Jakarta EE Core Profile (the latter introduced in Jakarta EE 10) are listed in a specification document for each version. Those documents are merely an addendum to the corresponding full platform’s specification document.
Technologies supported by the Jakarta E Web Profile are marked with the orange capital letter ‘W’ icon . Technologies supported by the Jakarta E Core Profile are marked with the green capital letter ‘C’ icon .
Where the specification for a technology was updated, the version number is marked with the upward arrow icon .
Optional technologies are marked with the filter icon in the list, at the Jakarta EE version where the technology was made optional.
Removed technologies are marked with the trashcan icon in the list, at the Jakarta EE version where the technology was removed.

to to the JavaBean Activation Framework (JAF), which states that JAF is included in Java SE 9:
" The Java EE 8 Platform specification, dated July 31st, 2017, references JavaBeans™ Activation Framework Specification Version 1.1 in appendix EE.C Related Documents. A Maintenance Release of the JavaBeans™ Activation Framework was created and released in the JCP as version 1.2 dated July 2017. JavaBeans Activation Framework 1.2 adds support for, and is included in, Java SE 9, and is the version contributed to Eclipse."
