Upgrading to SpringBoot 3.x

[omar-araboghli]

Is there any plan to upgrade to SpringBoot >3.x ? There are major changes which affect this project and unfortunately make it only usable by the 2.7 version. Mainly the changes related to Java EE.

Spring Boot 3.0 has migrated from Java EE to Jakarta EE APIs for all dependencies.

3.x has been in the TODO list for a long time. But ...

@CorvusYe, that's a pity 😕 Any idea about when to take that up?

[CorvusYe]

@omar-araboghli It's a little hard to promise, 😭 I also hope to be as soon as possible, after all, 3.x is more and more widely used.

Thanks for the info!

Fyi: I tried to play around and do the upgrade myself, but it doesn't seem to be that easy, since Beetl doesn't provide java 17 support. Or maybe I couldn't do that properly due to my limited time. I hope you guys can do the upgrade and release a new version soon! 😄

@omar-araboghli Which version of beetl are you using? As far as I know, the author has projects that deps on beetl and support springboot3.

Beetl-integration may be helpful to you. And looking forward to your smooth integreation. Thanks.

@Nicole00 Do you have time to do the integration of springboot3.x? My initial idea is to set up separate branches to deal with different versions of springboot.
