Hi all,
A frequent topic of discussion at ApacheCon EU was Jakarta EE 9. For
those
of you who aren't familiar with Jakarta EE the key points are:
- Oracle have donated Java EE to Eclipse
- Eclipse have released Jakarta EE 8 which is essentially identical to
Java EE 8
- Oracle have refused to allow changes to the APIs in the javax
namespace
- The Jakarta EE community seem to be reaching consensus on releasing
Jakarta EE 9 which will rename all the Java packages from javax.* to
jakarta.*
what does this rename really mean?
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
import javax.websocket.Session;
those are renamed?
If that is yes that would mean pretty much everything will break?

I thought everyone knew about this. We were supposed to have a
session on
this rename at ApacheCon EU, but unfortunately it didn't happen.

This article mentions that javax.* package namespace is not allowed to
change. The API needs to remain compatible.
When javax.* is renamed to jakarta.* it should be sufficient to have a
javax.* shim library that translates everything to use jakarta.*. Or is
there any public information that Oracle prohibits that too?
This will only work if the API won't change. I consider such a shim to
be dangerous at some point in time.

Time is the right cue: having both namespaces would allow a transition
phase. The javax shim could (or should!) trigger a deprecation warning.
And I hope the API won't change too soon. It would be good for the
Jakarta EE acceptance if they keeping existing interfaces stable for
some time.
