RAP version which support jboss8 and openjdk17

[ifurnadjiev]

By fast reading JBoss 8 is based on Jakarta EE 9 API. Currently, RAP still doesn't support containers based on this specification. See issue #73. RAP is compatible with Open JDK 17.

Thanks for so prompt response !!

Jboss8 is based on Jakarta EE 10 API . Could you please help to know the version/versions compatible with openjdk 17.
I did not get it in news and noteworthy list.

Latest RAP released version 3.23 is compatible with Open JDK 17, but lower versions are also compatible.

@ifurnadjiev
Do you have idea about timeline when RAP will be compatible with Jakarta ee 10 ?

[ifurnadjiev]

@Devip-singh the problem is not only about RAP framework, but all connected Eclipse projects from the Eclipse platform. I hope that for the June release (3.25) all the Eclipse project will move to Jakarta API. But there is no guarantee.

@ifurnadjiev
I can see 3.25 is available but did not found any information about its compatibility with Jakarta api . I checked news but no information available on Jakarta. Please let me know if you have something on this.
Thanks again for all your help so far !!

Correct, we published RAP 3.25 last week.
Like the entire Eclipse Simultaneous Release 2023-06, most bundles of Eclipse RAP require a Java 17 as a minimum requirement, and again like the entire Eclipse Simultaneous Release, still use the javax.servlet namespace and the associated Servlet specification. Ultimately, however, I am not aware of any plan as to when the Eclipse Platform and also the Simultaneous Release will implement these changes. Again, as RAP project I'd like to see this rather sooner than later.

Our wish is to move to the JakartaEE namespace as soon as possible, at least for Eclipse RAP, and also to have a version that is as compatible as possible for the newer Servlet specification versions.

Since this means major changes in RAP, we are dependent on external sponsorship for this development and a few of our customers with our commercial developer support have already shown interest. If sponsorship is a way forward for you, then we might have one or two ideas for a solution. Then the best thing is to contact us via the contact form on our support website.
