You are mixing things here. The Jakarta EE WG decided the big bang certainly *only for EE*, not for third parties; the intention was to get past this mixing situation ASAP, and the big vendors *agreed* to that plan, as it is the *smaller* pain. Now you pick *third parties* to proof "nobody" did -- after just few week! This is ridiculous, as we all are just in the migration phase. First, certainly *third party* libs are free to adopt or not adopt the new namespace as they like. Second, the Jakarta namespace is here since *few weeks* only, and certainly it needs months until third parties adopted it. But in the end, the `javax` namespace definitively *is dead* and there is no value in keeping it for long. Jersey for example eargerly switched the master branch (3.x), but everybody can run javax-namespaced legacy applications on a still maintained sustained branch (2.x) -- just what I proposed and what is totally fine for users. Nobody is *ever* allowed to extend `javax` in any way, s o **eventually** every lib, and every direct implementation, like CXF, *must* either adopt the namespace, or deal with *more and more* tweaks. For example, in EE 10 there will be backwards-incompatible changes in JAX-RS, so the stack of tweaks will pile higher and higher. Anyways, I still do not see where my statements where wrong and even more, I do not understand what this discussion is all about. I already told you, CXF can do as they please, I have no strong feelings about CXF at all, so why keep insulting me? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
