Hi,

Jakarta Authentication is currently missing generics in its API. In the Jakarta _expression_ project we've added generics for the Jakarta EE 9 release, as this is a binary compatible change.

    Binary compatible is not the same as TCK signature compatible. 
    Would the EL changes pass the signature test, without the javax
    -> jakarta change?

I think we should do the same for Jakarta Authentication. See issue: https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/authentication/issues/87

    If we want to allow any binary compatible signature change,
    that seems like a decision for the Platform project team.
