Thank You for your response and link...
But I disagree with their opinion, because the "jakartization" of packages
it is a very rupturist change:
All libraries, frameworks and applications that run over a j2ee container
(tomcat, jetty, jboss...) must be changed or adapted. For me, this is
enough reason to force a mayor version change)
If you see from a developer point of view:
- Versión 10.0 (supports Jakarta EE 9) disappeared when Jakarta EE 10
released (as proposed in your link)
- I prefer ignore the 10.0.X version (currently is latest and stable
release of Tomcat) and wait until Tomcat 10.1.X released (support Jakarta
EE 10).
- Why I change all my applications to run over 10.0.X (Jakarta EE
10)? when this versión 10.0.X will die in a "very" near future?
- forced to me a double change, now, to run over Tomcat-10.0.X
(Jakarta EE 10) and another change to run over Tomcat- 10.1.X version
(Jakarta EE 11)
I see an forced version alignment between Tomcat and Jakarta EE
Historically:
- Tomcat 7.0.x : support Java EE 6
- Tomcat 8.5.x : support Java EE 7
- Tomcat 9.0.x : support Java EE 8
- Tomcat 10.0.x : support Jakarta EE 9 (with my proposal)
- Tomcat 11.0.x : support Jakarta EE 10 (with my proposal)
- Tomcat 12.0.x : support Jakarta EE 11 (with my proposal)
New policy:
- Tomcat 8.5.x : support Java EE 7
- Tomcat 9.0.x : support Java EE 8
- Tomcat 10.0.x : support Jakarta EE 9 (disappears when Jakarta EE 10
released, developers must be readapt their apps to Jakarta EE 10)
- Tomcat 10.1.x : support Jakarta EE 10 (confused with 10.0.x version,
is not the same)
- Tomcat 11.0.x : support Jakarta EE 11
