Hey Skander, nice, that ticket is already a great start! I’ll create a 11.0.0 release in jira and assign that ticket to it.
Speaking about hibernate there has been a thread about in already in early 2023 with some mixed opinions when TomEE 10 was still in the making (https://lists.apache.org/thread/5gzmhjsmhndmncdh70l82q0fnmxlm865). IMO we should probably start another seperate discussion thread for this topic when we’re ready to worry about our JPA/Jakarta Data implementation. Regarding MP I think it just has a minimum requirement of EE 10, so we can of course use newer versions with EE 11. However IIRC we were bound to 6.1 because CXF postponed updating their MP Rest Client implementation to 4.2.x. Speaking for myself I would not put a too high priority on it just yet, but we should keep it in mind and maybe try to move to the latest possible version in the process of creating TomEE 11.
