Dear Apache Geode Developer Community, Following our recent discussion and consensus on the Jakarta EE 10 migration plan (GEODE-10466)—and the agreed approach to merge into develop first and create the support/2.0 branch after a stabilization period—I am pleased to share that the work is now ready to be merged into the develop branch.
This change represents a major modernization effort, bringing Apache Geode into the Jakarta EE 10 ecosystem and related frameworks, including Spring Framework 6, Spring Shell 3, Spring Boot 3, Jetty 12, and others. The migration has been thoroughly validated, with all tests passing and build verification complete. I would like to extend my appreciation to Sai Boorlagadda, Leon Finker, and Arnout Engelen for their thoughtful and detailed reviews throughout this process. Their feedback has been instrumental in ensuring the quality and maintainability of this effort. Please take a moment to review and raise any final concerns or objections. If no additional concerns are raised—and Sai has no outstanding issues—within the next few days, I will proceed with merging GEODE-10466 into the develop branch in line with our agreed plan. After the merge, we will enter a stabilization period on the develop branch (approximately four weeks), after which I plan to create the support/2.0 branch for the upcoming major release.
