Houssem updated JAMES-4104:
---------------------------
Description:
SparkJava (com.sparkjava:spark-core) is a critical dependency in the James
codebase,
used across 90+ files, but has entered an unmaintained state:
* 200+ unresolved issues on GitHub
* No active development for 3 years (last commit: July 2022)
* Compatibility risks with modern Java/Jakarta EE
Security concerns due to outdated dependencies
-------------------------
PROPOSED SOLUTION
-------------------------
Adopt the maintained spark-11 fork by nmondal:
[https://github.com/nmondal/spark-11]
Key improvements:
---------------------------------
- Modern Java 17+ baseline
- Virtual thread (Java 21) support
- Jetty 12 integration (HTTP/2.0 compatible)
- javax -> jakarta API migration
- Websocket refactoring for Jetty 11+
