[starter-dev] Initial Jakarta EE 11 Support

[Reza Rahman <reza_rahman@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I’ve now finished adding initial Jakarta EE 11 support to the archetype in the default branch. I also had to make some overdue changes to fix edge case bugs that were made worse by adding EE 11 and SE 21. I tried my best to update the nightly tests as well as test manually (as the automated tests are still far from complete). I think I caught everything but I am not sure. So can I ask that everyone spend some time testing?

In the meantime, I am going to work on getting EE 11 support in the UI. The UI also needs to be upgraded to EE 10, which is now available on Azure. I am hoping to be done by the new year so we can have a release. I think we should keep the release quiet until EE 11 official announcements are actually sorted out.

Cheers,

Reza
