That is my intention, moving to Spring 6, the new Jakarta namespace, and tomcat 10.
I am just struggling with getting Spring 6 into NetBeans… Sc.

If you really want to upgrade you will have to move to Jakarta namespace. Otherwise you can stay with Spring5 and javax, but S5 already has security bugs (reported in CVE), so... Regards, Maciej Nux. Samson Chung (2025-07-07 21:32): Hi Everyone, I have been banging my head on this issue for some time and am hoping someone can give me a hand. I’ve been using Netbeans 8 for my Java Development for years, stayed on that version as I remained on Java 8. I have recently started looking at upgrading to a more modern Java. One of the biggest issues I am running into is upgrading from JavaEE8 Web Applications running Spring MVC to Jarkata. Is there a step-by-step guide on how to do this with Netbeans? I’ve been using ant for all my projects, which makes it even more challenging… 😭 My current dev setup is as follows: Netbeans 25 Tomcat 9 Java 21 LTS I can’t move up to Tomcat 10 because all my web Apps are still in the old JavaX namespace. From what I can tell, the Spring MVC framework that came with Netbeans has been upgraded to 5.3.31 over the years, but I can’t seem to locate Spring 6, is there a way to introduce Spring 6 to Netbeans? While I am updating my Java8 projects to Java21, is there anything I need to watch out for? Thanks in advance, and any suggestions will be appreciated. Sc.
