I've submitted a PR to update main. We were really only missing Markus' commit to remove the security manager. We were also missing https://github.com/jakartaee/rest/pull/1210, but I'm not certain we're ready for that.

If this looks okay, once it's merged I think we should delete the release-5.0 branch as it adds confusion IMO. If we're concerned about history, we can always create a tag.

The next steps would be starting to prepare for an M1 release. We've submitted for a version 5.0 which means we need to bump the version to 5.0.0-SNAPSHOT. We also need to upgrade the parent for the latest Maven Central config changes. There are some other steps too, but those are the bare minimum starting points.

Subject: Branches and Preparing for Jakarta REST 5.0
 
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.
