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

Hi Christoph,

I wanted to say all I would migrate equinox.http.* including the http whiteboard implementation. I do not intend to migrate the http service.

We need this old stuff because the customer uses the servletbridge and some other components the reuse the servlet container implementation from a JakartaEE server. If you are interested they still use Riena, also an Eclipse project that is not active anymore (maybe someone remembers it).

In general I dont asked, if the community does it or plans it. I would do this and contribute the work, if someone is interested. 

Means, I will do it anyways, at least by forking. 

I open a github discussion.

Thanks,

Betreff: 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.
