So for example if you make Tomcat 10 to only have "jakarta.xxx" so all the existing code will not work on that anymore. then that tomcat will be for a long time in its own small corner.. We will not be able to use that for years to come.. because we have no control over what people are really using We still target java 8 (and that will also be the case for the coming years i am afraid) johan -- Johan Compagner Servoy
