@amckeown123 I think the explanation can be found indirectly in this list thread: https://lists.apache.org/thread/hszo5gf4f88wnho137294cn3vbnffjtl - limited time and volunteer activity results in fewer resources working on updating things in the docs or examples section. A lot of the current examples depend on old libraries and may not even work when run on a modern TomEE (which you won't find because some examples tend not to have unit tests). In a perfect world we would have a lot of time to work on TomEE, but the reason is that most people work on TomEE in their spare time, and updating versions, checking the CI status after an update, debugging issues introduced by a minor version bump (toggling unit or TCK tests) is really time consuming. Since we're currently short of resources, having the most up-to-date dependencies is not a top priority. The good thing is that since TomEE 10 is now on a Java 17 baseline, we can upgrade some things that weren't possible before (due to Java 8 / Java 11 constraints). To cut a long story short: If you feel you have some time and resources to contribute, feel free to join our mailing list and/or start providing small PRs with related updates. We will be happy to trigger CI runs for you. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
