roller would need some updates before it can go beyond struts 2.5.29:

https://github.com/apache/roller/pull/119#issuecomment-1344814362


probably easy to do but I never got to it. (bump the version and you should see failing integration tests)

the bootstrap dependency is also locked to 3.4.x AFAIR due to breaking changes which may or may not prevent other updates in future.

other then that I tried to keep the dependencies somewhat up2date, i think jakarta.persistence is already in use via eclipse link etc.

best regards,

michael

Dave,

BTW, Struts devs are planning to merge the tiles code base into the Struts Tiles Plugin to eliminate the dependency on the now Attic project.

Hi Laurent and PJ,

The Apache Roller project still uses Struts, Tiles and Velocity and I would like to see the projects continue and move into Jakarta land. I have some
limited time to help out. What do y'all need help with?

Hi Laurent,
I don't want to write off the possibility of a Jakarta variant of
Tiles joining the Apache Incubator - but the fact that Apache Tiles
doesn't have an active community around it is going to be a major
impediment. For Apache projects and podlings to succeed, they need a
number of contributors to get involved.
Could you start by putting your code up on Github or somewhere similar
and adding documentation that highlights that you are looking for
collaborators? Maybe there are some forums where some remaining users
of Tiles can be contacted?

There is no impediment to you simply releasing your Jakarta variant of
Tiles yourself or via some organisation that you are involved with
(e.g. a company that you work with). If you go this route, the ASF
would look like to see that you remove all the ASF branding and
ideally, change the package names.

If you want to avoid having to do all the branding changes and see the
new project join/rejoin the ASF, then I think that you'll need to come
back to us with more collaborators and probably some indication that
they are bought into keeping the project going over the foreseeable
future.

PJ

Hi everyone,

I’m working on Apache Tiles porting to Jakarta EE (without support of
freemarker and velocity, since both of them are still going with javax API) and my work is going to reach it’s end – all builds are successful, jdk17 baseline and updated dependencies (as far as I know) – but still uncommited
to my personal github account.
I know Tiles is in Attic land of Apache but I’d which to make this first
step (Jakarta migration) go to open-source world, without creating new
projects out of the box.
Tiles is a framework I use on a project, with Spring and since Spring 6
has migrated to Jakarta API, I’m stuck to Spring 5.X if I stay on this.
Changing technology is an option for frontend application but not until a good rework that may take months (or years, depending on time we have to do
that migration).
Having a Tiles Jakarta port would be great since the technology itself
is working well on my project.
Do you know what can I do to make this properly, according to Apache
work ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards.
L. SCHOELENS
