Description

Description:​​

Currently observing significant functional gaps between semantic-kernel-java and its Python/.NET counterparts (e.g., Python/.NET already support ​​multi-agent orchestration​​, while Java version remains at ​​LLM+Tool level​​).

​​Key Questions:​​

  • ​​Roadmap Alignment​​

Are there plans to bring Java version to full feature parity with Python/.NET (especially multi-agent workflows.)?
If yes, what is the estimated timeline for major milestones?

  • ​​Divergence Policy​​

Will Java remain a functionally reduced version due to technical constraints, or is the disparity temporary?
​​Interop Possibilities​​
For features not natively implemented in Java (e.g., Dapr integration in .NET), will there be workarounds like interop with Python services?
