Mark Struberg commented on GERONIMO-6726:
-----------------------------------------
Hi [~downdrown]!
It is pretty much 100% fix that the javax.* namespace will not be touched and
JakartaEE will have to move.
I guess you've seen my blog post, right?
There will be tools to support downstream users. I guess that NetBeans, Eclipse
and Idea will have this on board. I expect a timeframe of about 9 months before
you'll see the first full servers and eco system being migrated. I think
migrating a user project will be updating dependencies + an hour of work. Given
all deps are available for jakarta.* then it should be pretty much straight
forward.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-6726
> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: Task
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: specs
> Reporter: Mark Struberg
> Priority: Major
>
> Oracle does not allow to evolve the former JavaEE specs under the javax.*
> package name as they claim to own the full 'Java' trademark.
> While this may or may not be true it might be wise to not pursue a legal
> battle.
> Thus we will move all the specs to use the jakarta.* package names.
