Hi all,

Pedro´s question could make sense in a regular environment but this is Java world!. Still nowadays there are not so few companies running java 7/java EE7 despite we have java 13/Jakarta EE8.

Hmm ... that is reasonable and surely justifies having your versioning scheme.

Do note however, that we deprecated Java 7 and anything before that in the ports tree so those ports should be deprecated.

People can still install and use older versions manually, of course.

In official Wildfly page, https://wildfly.org/downloads , you can see there is still available from Wildfly 8 since the last Wildfly 18 more, summing more  than twenty versions all maintained.


Why? some versions are javaEE7 certified, some javaEE8 and some others jakartaEE8. Some can use jdk7, some jdk8 and others can use last jdk11.  Some have microprofile included, some other no etcetera. Java EE has moved from oracle to eclipse fundation, there have been more changes in last two years than last twenty and therefore many companies are stilln adapting their code.

Very interesting indeed. C++ has also been changing a lot.
By the way, thanks for your comments Pedro and commit new version Kurt.


Thanks for the explanation,

Pedro.

        Not complaining, but I wonder why we have so many versioned ports
        instead of having just one wildfly and wildfly-devel. wildfly
        18 is
        available, BTW.

        Pedro.
