All,
The Jakarta EE project is aiming to align Jakarta EE releases with Java
LTS releases. That would mean a Jakarta EE release every 2 years which
in turn would mean a Tomcat release every 2 years.
If we stuck to our "support the 3 latest major versions" (ignoring 9.0.x
as a special case) then that would mean the typical support period for a
major Tomcat release dropping from ~10 years to ~6 years.
What, if anything, do we want to do about that?
I'll note that the last Servlet API release was May 2024 and, while we
are in May 2026, discussions on the timing of the Jakarta EE 12 release
train haven't started (or at least haven't reached me as project
manager) yet.
Wait and see seems like the most sensible option at the moment but I
wanted to raise awareness so we could start thinking about possible
options should we need to make some changes.
