Why is this change necessary now?

I'm planning to upgrade Jakarta XML Binding libraries (jakarta.xml.bind.* classes) from 3.X to 4.X in the upcoming JPMML-Evaluator 1.7.X development branch. It seems to me that around the same time, it would be appropriate to upgrade all related GlassFish Metro dependencies as well, including the GlassFish Codemodel dependency.

Thank you for your suggestion! I agree that upgrading the Jakarta XML Binding libraries at this stage makes sense, and it would also be a good opportunity to update the related dependencies. Regarding org.glassfish.jaxb:codemodel, I want to help developers update their dependencies in a timely manner, introduce potential fixes and new features, and address any breaking change issues.

Regarding org.glassfish.jaxb:codemodel ...

There is also the Java version dimension that must be taken into account.

For example, Jakarta XML Binding 3.X is Java 8 compatible, but Jakarta XML Binding 4.X requires Java 11 or newer. I'm afraid the same applies to CodeModel 3.X vs 4.X.

The current JPMML-Evaluator development branch (1.6.X) is targeting Java 8 compatibility. So, it's not possible to have any "upgraded" dependencies in it.

Just can't update the Java requirement between minor versions (eg. JPMML-Evaluator 1.6.8 and 1.6.9). Has to be accompanied by a major version change (eg. JPMML-Evaluator 1.6.8 vs 1.7.0).

Anyway, your request has been noted. Perhaps I can do the major version upgrade over this coming holiday season. The underlying JPMML-Model library is almost there already.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Upgrading them in the next major version sounds like a good plan.
