Meantime I started preparing blueprint for Java > 8 in https://github.com/apache/aries/pull/785 Current status is: - for java >= 11 Spring and SpringExtender itests fails - problem with classloader for namespaces - for java >= 17 Quiesce itests fails - problem with namespaces - for java >= 25 Authorization itests fails - problem with incompatible java API (removed javax.security.auth.Subject.getSubject) niedz., 1 lut 2026 o 16:19 Jean-Baptiste Onofré <[email protected]> napisał(a): > Hi folks, > > I saw new updates from Dominik (thanks a lot !).
