Support for jakarta.* namespace in jaxrs-* generators

[erdlet]

I tried to generate an API for a Jakarta EE 9 project but recognized that there's no jaxrs-* generator supporting the jakarta.* namespace. Because the jakarta.* namespace is the future of all Jakarta EE specifications, it makes sense to support the namespace at least inside the jaxrs-* generators.

Is there something on your roadmap regarding this issue or is this a completely new request? In case it's the latter, I'd offer my help to implement the support for this.

I'm thinking of taking a stab at this for spring-boot-3.

Since spring-boot 3 is basically a switch to Jakarta and a minimum of java17 - i'm thinking of doing a new dedicated spring-boot-3 library target.

Is this the way to go?

@frantuma @HugoMario: Looking at the spring-boot and spring-cloud libraries - they support spring 1.5 (which was released Feb 2017)?

• Is this something I can remove to make the libraries more simple?
• Any dateLibraries (Joda, threetenbp) to be removed to make the libraries more simple?

Looking at threetenbp - Java 6 and Java 7 are eol according to (https://endoflife.date/java)
Looking at Joda - appears to not be actively developed anymore.

Even commercial support has ended for Spring Boot 1.5, so it makes sense to stop supporting that?

See https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot#support for more details.

@mkjensen : Thx for the overview of supported versions :)

So i'd really like to remove Spring Boot 1.x support and add support for Spring boot 3.x.

And upgrading Spring Boot 2 support to latest 2.7 release?

[s-jepsen]

So I'm basically suggesting the below 3 or 4 tasks.

• Remove Spring Boot 1.x support
• Upgrade Spring Boot 2.1.16 to latest Spring Boot 2.7.x
• Introduce Spring Boot 3.x support.
• Extra: Possibly remove some of the variants of dateLibrary support (threetenbp, java8-localdatetime, joda, legacy) - although this will also affect other Java based generators???

Almost all the java related generators need to be updated:

• especially JEE-related generators (if it's not already done)
