Hi, Hope you're all doing well.
My new semester has been pretty hectic lately, so I haven't had as much time to explore the plugin further as I'd hoped. I did take a look at the open PRs and the work that's been started on adding Tomcat 9 support. I still want to volunteer to work on it once I get some more time to figure it out, but the progress might be quite slow since I have a lot to learn. Just wanted to check in.
