• Heads up: Maven 3.8.2 is broken: https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/browse/JPAR-185

• Initial details for Spring 6 have been announced: https://spring.io/blog/2021/09/02/a-java-17-and-jakarta-ee-9-baseline-for-spring-framework-6

  • Short fluffy talk at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0-IhAKnkWM covers most of the following

  • Java 17 baseline, will also support next two LTS after that (Java 23 and 29 in 2024 and 2027 respectively) (Spring 5 will not go beyond Java 17).

  • Jakarta EE 9 baseline, implying

    • namespace change from javax to jakarta

    • Tomcat 10, Jetty 11 baseline

  • The talks from Spring One (incl. Juergen Hoeller’s deeper dive on Spring 6) will be available 2021-09-07 at SpringOne.

  • GA 2022 Q4

  • M1 2021 Q4, i.e., in a couple of months. In principle, we could start a feature branch for Spring 6 at this point, or in general branch for v5. (Hibernate or some other dependency might be a sticking point; beta of next version of Hibernate expected in 2022).

  • What about Spring Web Flow? I assume that’s Servlet-dependent and therefore won’t work vs. jakarta APIs as it stands.
