Re: [rest-dev] Branches and Preparing for Jakarta REST 5.0

Welcome in the Jungle! This is exactly what I wanted to clarify many months back when I reached out to you, and the result was that nobody responded. :-(

Seems we need to dive into each single commit to find out what is what. :-(

Hello All,

We're aiming to have an M1 for Jakarta EE 12 by 2025-10-15 which is just a couple weeks away, see [1]. 

Looking at the branches I'm a bit confused on what branch we should be working on. There is a release-5.0 branch which is quite different from main. Both contain changes the other one does not and I don't know which one we should be using. There was a PR raised [2] to address some of the requirements for an M1 release However, some of things have already been done in the release-5.0 branch, for example removing the security manager [3].

I think the first thing we need to do is determine which branch we should use and stick with that branch. My personal preference would be main and merge what we need from release-5.0 into main, then delete the release-5.0 branch.

After that, we can start moving forward with any other changes that are needed.
