Apache Tomcat copies classes of the Jakarta EE API's into the Tomcat module. The package jakarta https://github.com/apache/tomcat/tree/main/java/jakarta should be removed from the Tomcat module or renamed. And the Jakarta EE API's should be included as dependencies.
Copying the source from https://github.com/jakartaee/servlet to https://github.com/apache/tomcat/tree/main/java/jakarta/servlet, and also other Jakarta API's, causes Java Platform Module System (JPMS) errors. A package can only be exported by one module on the classpath. It will result in errors like this: [ERROR] Error: Modules org.apache.tomcat.embed.el and jakarta.el export package jakarta.el to module maven.artifact [ERROR] Error: Modules org.apache.tomcat.servlet and jakarta.servlet package jakarta.servlet to module maven.artifact It would be nice if Apache Tomcat is compatible with JPMS.
