AGENDA
- LDAPocalypse Now
Attendees:
Brent
- Per Scott request, looking at the Spring MVC Velocity deprecation issue. Various questions:
- What should be replacement (essentially and mostly: FreeMarker vs ThymeLeaf)? Or maybe option for both?
- Replace Velocity everywhere or just Spring MVC usage?
- (radical) Join or start the "Save Velocity!" train: get Spring MVC support added to Velocity Tools. Somebody may eventually do it. Maybe that's us?

- Been defocused for the last couple of months for various reasons I won't get into, but should be back and more active now.
- Main activity is the push to Java 11. Will hold off making the actual change as long as possible, so that the
java-parent-projectmasterbranch uses Java 8 as long as possible. - What are known blockers, if any, in our code for a Java 11 transition? Or is it solely the tooling?
- Will use the MDA, as usual, as the canary for the transition when it comes.
