   Hi @garydgregory, 
   
   now that 2.14.0 is out (the release you mentioned you wanted to push to clear the way for this change), I'd like to ask what the next steps for this PR could look like.
   
   The ecosystem moved to the jakarta.transaction namespace with Spring Framework 6 / Spring Boot 3 back in 2022, and is meanwhile already on Spring Framework 7 and Spring Boot 4 - yet DBCP remains one of the last libraries still on the javax API, which forces downstream users to work around it. So there is real, long-standing demand for an official jakarta-based release.
   
   I understand this is a binary-incompatible change that warrants a major version. From my side the PR is ready; if a 3.0 line (or a commons-dbcp3 module with a new package name, as other Commons components did for breaking changes) is the way forward, this PR can serve as its basis.
   
   Thanks!
