Dear Virgo Committers,
We are using Virgo in production for various software products. Unfortunately, we realised that there isn't much going on in the virgo and gemini github repos.
Hence, the following questions arose:
* Are there any concrete plans for future virgo releases?
* When can we expect Java 9+ support?
* If we could be of any help: What do you think, how much effort needs to be put into Virgo (in man-months), to make it
** Java 9+ compatible
** support latest spring versions
** support latest tomcat version (I think this is not a topic yet, as Violeta Georgieva is continuously updating gemini web)
* Are there other companies and community members who are heavily interested in future Virgo updates and support?
Best regards,
Felix

Hello Felix,
I am an active committer on the Virgo Tools, the Eclipse plug-ins for Virgo.
With respect to the plug-ins, I have been waiting for the Libra project to release a binary build of their project. The Libra project is a dependency of the Virgo Tools and they had some issues with Eclipse since Photon.
With respect to the server, I believe that big part of the scope planned for Virgo 3.7.0 is done, because the most challenging task, the Equinox upgrade, is at a good stage thanks to Florian's effort, but I'll let Florian, our project lead, speak for himself.
Unfortunately, we cannot evolve Virgo at the speed we would like to, because this project is lacking a sponsor and is maintained and evolved by committers in their spare time. As you noticed, Violeta is doing a great job.
For this reason, your help would be greately appreciated by all committers and by all Virgo users. Florian will be able to provide more details about the effort.
Meanwhile let me tell you that contributors first have to sign the Eclipse Contributor Agreement, which can be done from the Eclipse user page, then contributors typically start with some simple bugzilla issues to get used to the process and coding standards, and finally participate to more complex development.
Thank you again
Giamma.

Hello everyone,
I am also very interested in knowing what are the plans with Virgo project. Is there any development going on right now? Is Virgo going to support Java 11 or newer? Is Virgo going to be packaged with Spring 5?
Any news regarding this awesome project will be highly appreciated.
Best regards
Martin Zukal
