We do test a lot an very customized version of Jetty (compared to the setup you get by default when you download Jetty) plus I had issues last time I tried to upgrade the version of Jetty (see https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-15155). > >> >> I’m hesitating with Wildfly and Glassfish since they’re quite popular too. >> It would be nice to have them but I don’t think we have the manpower ATM so >> I would leave them to the community for now, as a best effort. >> >> WDYT? >> >> Thanks >> -Vincent >> > > > > -- > Thomas Mortagne -- Thomas Mortagne
