- 7.0.x : Continues to support Java EE 6
- 8.5.x : Continues to support Java EE 7
- 9.0.x (master) : Continues to support Java EE 8
- 10.0.x : Jakarta EE 9 development
Step 1: ... Announce EOL for 7.0.x ... Announce EOL for Tomcat 7 (as 31 March 2021?) ...
- 7 : Continues to support Java EE 6
- 8 : Continues to support Java EE 7
- 9 : Continues to support Java EE 8
- 10.0.0.0-Mx (master) development branch for Jakarta EE 9 support
Note the 10.0.0.0-Mx will be Milestone releases ... Apply Tomcat API changes planned for Tomcat 10 to 10.0.0.0-Mx Apply Jakarta EE 9 package rename changes. Other changes applied to 10.0.0.0-Mx and then back-ported to 9.0.x, 8.5.x and 7.0.x Monthly milestone releases of 10.0.0.0-Mx alongside 9.0.x and 8.5.x ... Once Jakarta EE 9 is released and Tomcat 10.0.0.0-Mx passes the TCK Release 10.0.0.0 (note the extra element in the version number) Create a 10.0.0.x branch from master. 10.0.0.x will be supported until there is a stable 10.1.0 .1 release. Create a 9.10.x branch (from master and revert the package rename commits) ... Latest 9.n aims to be identical to latest Tomcat n except it won't include the javax → jakarta package rename. That gives us:
- 7.0.x : Continues to support Java EE 6
- 8.5.x : Continues to support Java EE 7
- 9.0.x : Continues to support Java EE 8
- 9.10.x: Continues to support Java EE 8 with Tomcat API identical to latest Tomcat 10
- 10.0.0x: Continues to support Jakarta EE 9. Critical / important fixes only. Will be EOL'd as soon as Jakarta EE 10 is stable.
- 10.1-0.1-Mx (master): Development branch for Jakarta EE 10 support
... It is assumed that Tomcat 7 EOL has passed by this point. 10.0.0.x will also be EOL. That gives us:
- 8.5.x : Continues to support Java EE 7
- 9.0.x : Continues to support Java EE 8
- 9.10.x: Continues to support Java EE 8 with Tomcat API identical to latest Tomcat 10.01.x
- 10.1.x (master): Supports Jakarta EE 10
... Announce EOL for Tomcat 8. Create 10.01.x branch from master. That gives us:
- 8.5.x : Continues to support Java EE 7
- 9.0.x : Continues to support Java EE 8
- 9.10.x : Continues to support Java EE 8 with Tomcat API identical to latest Tomcat 10.0.x
- 10.1.x : Supports Jakarta EE 10
- 11.0.x (master): Development of Jakarta EE 11 support
... Create a 9.11.x branch (from master and revert the package rename commits) That gives us:
- 8.5.x : Continues to support Java EE 7 (likely to be EOL soon if not already EOL)
- 9.0.x : Continues to support Java EE 8
- 9.11.x : Continues to support Java EE 8 with Tomcat API identical to latest Tomcat 11.0.x
- 10.1.x : Supports Jakarta EE 10
- 11.0.x : (master): Supports of Jakarta EE 11
