Feature Parity Inquiry: Multi-Agent Orchestration and Roadmap Alignment with Python/.NET Versions

[GavinHwa]

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?

We are working on an internal plan to unify various capabilities and align with agenting features at AI Foundry, but no public roadmap just yet. CC @johnoliver

Hello, @karianna
I'm excited about the plans to align with AI Foundry's agenting features and would love to contribute to this effort.
Looking forward to the roadmap when it's available!
