["Robert Munteanu (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-10000?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17768668#comment-17768668 ] 

Robert Munteanu commented on SLING-10000:
-----------------------------------------

I think [~cziegeler] has been doing a lot of work on the Felix side for the jakarta.servlet migration. What is not clear to me is whether we can support javax.servlet and jakarta.servlet at the same time. Otherwise it's going to be a very hard sell for our users.

> Java EE APIs are switching from {{javax}} to {{jakarta}}.
> Jakarta Specifications: [https://jakarta.ee/specifications/]
> *Candidates*
>  * {{javax.activation}}
>  * {{javax.servlet}}
>  * {{javax.mail}}
> *Discovery*
>  * Should we have branch {{jakarta}} in each module which needs to switch?
>  * Should we use the breaking change (major version increase in most APIs) to clean up and improve our current API or limit it to the package switch?
> *Tooling*
