Hello 2021 and hello Jakarta EE support with Codehaus Cargo 1.8.4!

[S. Ali Tokmen]

Dear Codehaus Cargo enthusiasts

We are hoping you had a nice start to 2021!

On this second day of 2021 we are happy to announce Codehaus Cargo version 1.8.4. This new version comes with a bug fix, and a full support for Jakarta EE:

• General
• [CARGO-1514] - Add the Jakarta EE converter to samples of affected containers
  To achieve this, we actually integrated the Jakarta EE migrator into our build (more precisely, per-container testing) process and it is quite a promising piece of software! We hence also adapted, for the supporting containers, the deployment of javax.jms and javax.mail to support their Jakarta EE counterparts and to intelligently mirror these when needed. For those of you who don’t yet have a goal for 2021, Jakarta EE migration can definitely be a good one 😉
• Containers - GlassFish
• [CARGO-1541] - Properly implement javax. to jakarta. changes for JMS support on GlassFish 6.x.
• Containers - Tomcat and TomEE
• [CARGO-1539] - Add websocket support for the embedded Tomcat 8.x, 9.x and 10.x containers when run via the Maven 2 / Maven 3 plugin
• [CARGO-1540] - Properly implement javax. to jakarta. changes for Tomcat 10.x and TomEE 9.x

To try out this latest version:

• Users of the Maven 2 / Maven 3 plugin simply need to use the Codehaus Cargo plugin version 1.8.4
• Users of the Java API can download the new Uberjar from https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo-core-uberjar/1.8.4/cargo-core-uberjar-1.8.4.jar
• Similarly, users of the ANT tasks can download the new ANT tasks from https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo-ant/1.8.4/cargo-ant-1.8.4.jar
• Finally, the ones who want to see the Cargo Daemon can get it from https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo-daemon-webapp/1.8.4/cargo-daemon-webapp-1.8.4.war and either use the WAR directly as an executable JAR or as a WAR file deployed on another Web container

Enjoy!
