Re: [equinox-dev] Equinox HTTP component move to jakarta namespace

Hi Mark,

Equinox uses Github Discussions now [1] so it would be best to start a new thread there.

Beside that, its is quite unlikely that this will happen for the following reasons:

1) it would be a breaking change for consumers
2) all of this is based on the HttpService that was dropped from the current OSGi Spec and there are no plans to revive it [2]
3) today one would use Http Whiteboard Specification [3]

So if you want to have "old" equinox-http upgraded I fear there is little hope (beside simply fork that part) but I see some potential to move Eclipse (mainly the helpcenter) to Http Whiteboard Specification would be the path forward.

Hello together,

for a customer project it seems we need to move the Equinox HTTP bundles (except the jetty) from javax into jakarta namespace. This also belongs to the servlet and servletbridge bundles.

Are there interests in such an contribution? If yes, how can this be handled regarding the release management.

Regards,

Mark
