Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] [POLL] Would you support the as-is javax JA

[Mark Struberg <struberg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

That can also be achieved via java.lang.instrument.Instrumentation.
It's perfectly possible to do that either at build time (if you get a jar which uses old javax APIs) or at load time.
I've made a prototype some months ago when I migrated Apache Meecrowave and many of our Geronimo spec-apis to jakarta.*
There are some smallish hurdles, e.g. also transform java.util.service files. I solved this by tweaking our WebAppClassLoader. 
But that's pretty much it. No need to keep it old.
