Newer Eclipse version, older jetty version? Why? [message #1844642] Mon, 20 September 2021 02:03 Go to next message

I'm configuring a target based on Eclipse, and just checked the contained jetty versions. As an example I will take the bundle org.eclipse.jetty.http

With 2021-03 http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/eclipse/releases/2021-03/202103171000/plugins/org.eclipse.jetty.http_9.4.37.v20210219.jar is included.
With 2021-06 http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/eclipse/releases/2021-06/202106161001/plugins/org.eclipse.jetty.http_9.4.35.v20201120.jar is included and
with 2021-09 http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/eclipse/releases/2021-09/202109151000/plugins/org.eclipse.jetty.http_9.4.24.v20191120.jar is included?!?

Why is that? Are newer versions of jetty less trustworthy? This behavior strikes me as odd?!

Update: It seems that 2021-06 switched to Jetty 10.0.5 and 2021-09 to Jetty 10.0.6 - don't know why these old bundles are still included however?

What is in the simrel depends on the content of many projects. The platform project is always providing a recent version on Jetty, however, some other project might pull in an older version. There have been many discussions about Jetty on the cross-project mailing lists, but I did not really follow that discussion.

For each artifact in the repository, you can find who is requiring it in the content.xml. I am not aware of a tool that gives quick access to this information. Some manual browsing shows that the older version of Jetty is pulled in by the org.eclipse.jgit.pgm plugin. All other plugins seems to use the latest Jetty 10 version.
