Romain Manni-Bucau commented on GERONIMO-6726:
----------------------------------------------

[~struberg] today we dont know so this issue should be "suspended". Just to 
give an insight, my main work project must stay on javax.annotation and 
javax.json, jakarta is not an option cause we expose it as an API and it must 
stay stable. Spring users will also not do it that fast too. App classloader 
users - meecrowave, tomee, ... - will also have troubles and will not benefit 
from a bytecode hack. Any NoSQL mapper will be in trouble as well and will not 
be migrated in a year. So IMHO sed is unlikely for users even if trivial for 
vendors.

> 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.
