AFAIK Spring 6 only supports jakarta.*, not javax.*. If you really want
to upgrade you will have to move to Jakarta namespace. Otherwise you can
stay with Spring5 and javax, but S5 already has security bugs (reported
in CVE), so...

Hi Everyone,
I have been banging my head on this issue for some time and am hoping
someone can give me a hand.
I’ve been using Netbeans 8 for my Java Development for years, stayed
on that version as I remained on Java 8. I have recently started
looking at upgrading to a more modern Java. One of the biggest issues
I am running into is upgrading from JavaEE8 Web Applications running
Spring MVC to Jarkata. Is there a step-by-step guide on how to do this
with Netbeans? I’ve been using ant for all my projects, which makes it
even more challenging… 😭
My current dev setup is as follows:
Netbeans 25
Tomcat 9
Java 21 LTS
I can’t move up to Tomcat 10 because all my web Apps are still in the
old JavaX namespace. From what I can tell, the Spring MVC framework
that came with Netbeans has been upgraded to 5.3.31 over the years,
but I can’t seem to locate Spring 6, is there a way to introduce
Spring 6 to Netbeans? While I am updating my Java8 projects to Java21,
is there anything I need to watch out for?
Thanks in advance, and any suggestions will be appreciated.
Sc.
