Hello all,

I'm afraid it'll be necessary to keep TomEE 8.x maintained for a long
while, as it's the last version supporting javax namespace for EE
APIs.
Like it or not, but migration from javax to jakarta namespace is a
very slow process for applications developed a while ago...

Kind regards,
Alex
