Thanks for the PRs @Richard Zowalla , much appreciated.
I have merged them and dealt with the subsequent dependabot avalanche.
Apologies if you received a whole bunch of Jenkins errors.
I was using AI + GH client to deal with the dependabot PRs in batches
and it was being quite helpful, right up until the point and it
decided to merge a few PRs whose tests were still ongoing

  problematic Merges
   * #8632 (Jersey 4.0.2 upgrade on 2.x)
   * #8615 (Checkstyle 13.4.2 on master)

Both have been reverted and both master and 2.x are ok.

I'll create a RC for 2.8.8 during the week.
