Martin Tzvetanov Grigorov commented on VELTOOLS-202:
----------------------------------------------------
OK, we have a progress on the technical part! Let's continue!
Which module has been renamed ?
In https://github.com/apache/velocity-tools/pull/15/files I don't see renamed
(Maven?!) module. I see updated Maven dependencies and updated Java imports.
This matches with my idea of having two branches - one for javax and one for
jakarta.
The contributor offered a PR against `master` branch. Here any Velocity
maintainer can create a branch for Javax from master before merging this PR and
use this new branch for Javax releases and use master for Jakarta releases. The
Maven version in the PR should be updated to 4.0-SNAPSHOT too.
Later when there is a fix/improvement in either branches the maintainers could
easily use `git cherry-pick -x someSHA` to port the commit to the other branch,
if needed. If the cherry-pick fails then some manual work may be needed! It is
a small effort! But the maintainer could always ask the contributor to open a
second PR for the other branch if the effort is bigger!
The release manager will have to make two releases until there are users for
Javax but this is how it is. Again I think this is little extra work!
You can also explain how you think it should be done and hopefully someone will
do it one day!

> Project: Velocity Tools
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: VelocityView
> Reporter: David Ruiz de Azua
> Priority: Trivial
>
> To whom may concern,
> Currently VelocityViewServlet extends from javax rather than jakarta.
> Due the cutover from Java to Jakarta, *is there any plan to make Apache
> Velocity compatible with Servlet 5.0?*
> Not sure if there are any plans to make the transition to Jakarta namespace
> and if there is any ETA for it.
