[tech-consortium]

Publish a version of Atomikos that supports JakartaEE 9 to Maven Central repository.

Thanks, it is on our backlog. But do you have any suggestions on how to implement it? As a breaking 6.0 release perhaps?

[hazendaz]

@GuyPardon That is how many repos are supporting jakarta. Unfortunately its a hard break that cannot be avoided.

• You might want to provide Jakarta variants via Gradle's build features like https://github.com/ehcache/ehcache3/releases/tag/v3.10.0 , while maintaining compatibility with the javax namespace.

• But this workload is really huge, refer to Any plans to offer a Jakarta version? ehcache/ehcache3#2946 , which almost took their community half a year.

Spring Boot 3.0 is released now, hope Atomikos supports it soon.

[tech-consortium]

@njhuan Seems Spring Boot 3.0 has removed support for Atomikos. See spring-projects/spring-boot#28589

@GuyPardon

It is possible to release a Jakarta 9 version of your dependencies by using the transformer-maven-plugin from Eclipse. We are running Atomikos on Jakarta 9 by transforming the transactions-jta and transactions-hibernate4 as shown below...

When will Atomikos be ready for Spring Boot 3?

[GuyPardon]

We are working on it, thanks. Spring Boot 3 is definitely top priority.

@GuyPardon Is there a target date to support Jakarta packaging and Spring 6? Thanks.

The demand is still present, would be great to have the support for latest Spring Boot (as of now, 3.3.2). Any plans on doing this any time soon?
