Support for JakartaEE 9

[danshome]

Are there plans to release support for JakartaEE 9 now that you have moved the project to Github?

I second this. This is currently keeping us from updating other dependencies as newer versions of these dependencies also require JakartaEE instead of JavaEE. I know it's possible to have both at the same time but it's definitely a hassle we don't want.

If needed to get things moving forward, I can look into contributing this myself. With some minimal guidance maybe as the jaxb landscape is a proper mess these days.

It also begs the question how you want to tackle the migration, and if you want to keep support for the JavaEE annotations alive or not.

Java 11 support has now been merged in.

Whoop 🎉 I try to get you in contact with someone from @micromata/developers who can help to get this released to maven central …

@mischah What is the status of getting this released?

@mischah What is the status of getting this released?

If you want to use this early, before it's on Maven central, try the following in your pom.xml:

<repositories>
	<repository>
		<id>jitpack.io</id>
		<url>https://jitpack.io</url>
	</repository>
</repositories>
<dependencies>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>com.github.micromata</groupId>
		<artifactId>javaapiforkml</artifactId>
		<version>36e6333</version>
	</dependency>
</dependencies>`

This will build based on the `36e6333` (latest at time of writing) commit.
