Thank you for your article.

I do share your pain with develop to the jakarta.* space and the current difficulties.

I'm attempting to redevelop a Java Server Faces (JSF 2.x), JPA 2, Eclipselink to Jakarta with Eclipse IDE. Eclipse doesn't support Jakarta yet. The facets are very outdated and I cannot find workarounds.

Yes, it's a mess. I've had to replace Eclipse and use Intellij IDE.

I read somewhere Oracle owns javax.* so by renaming to jakarta.* it will separate from Oracle.
