URL: https://github.com/apache/freemarker/pull/94
**What has been changed in this PR:**
* Migrated from Javax to Jakarta
* Java upgrade: the minimum Java version has been increased to 17.
* Jakarta requires version 11+
* Spring 6 requires version 17+
* As most vendors will stop supporting Java 11 next year, it makes sense
to switch to Java 17.
* [The JVM's Locale providers have been updated in versions >
9](https://openjdk.org/jeps/252), which required minor changes in the localised
tests
* Hamcrest now provides the matchers that were created in the FreeMarker
tests, the latter have therefore been removed to avoid duplication and reduce
maintenance
* RMIC: the RMIC task doesn't support Java > 15 unfortunately. The
associated tasks have been removed.
* The Ivy configuration has been cleaned up, all dependency versions are now
declared in a consistent manner via XML entities
* The README has been updated accordingly
**Given the scope of the changes, I would suggest we create a `2.4-gae`
branch and change the target of this PR before merging it. All files and
documentation in this PR already refer to these changes as being part of
release 2.4.**
I tried performing this change on branch `3` but it is incredibly far from
`2.3-gae`'s head. Furthermore, the git history of branch `3` seems to be
completely messed up, some gradle files are linked to old Java files, other
files have been renamed without it being tracked. To avoid regressions, I would
advise to rename `3` to `3-deprecated`, to create a new `3` branch from `2.4`,
and to cherry-pick new changes as needed.
