It's a bit of a chicken and the egg issue. We could target EE 9 as well. The point is we have to duplicate a lot of modules from master to tomee-jakarta project and configure the transformer to do package relocation. Works but quite heavy if we want to cover everything.
If we decide to move master to a TomEE maintenance branch and switch master to jakarta, we can do the relocation in the source itself. Of course the downside is maintenance cost as we'll have to backport to TomEE branch with the packages always conflicting. -- Jean-Louis Monteiro http://twitter.com/jlouismonteiro http://www.tomitribe.com On Mon, Oct 4, 2021 at 11:44 AM Zowalla, Richard < [email protected]> wrote: > I agree with Thomas. > > We are not migrating to EE9 (with TomEE) as we are missing the plugins, > unit-test containers, arquillian integration, etc. - I guess, the next > one will be EE10 to aim for. > > Gruss > Richard > > Am Freitag, dem 01.10.2021 um 13:40 +0200 schrieb Thomas Andraschko: > > TBH we have to migrate to jakarta anyway.
