Jakarta upgrade

[MilovdZee]

I would like to help with the jakarta upgrade of the 4.6.21 branch. But I don't know how to contact you and I do have a question about building the code. Somehow it always fails with docs and the cdk plugin.

Hi
Thanks for your interest and support.
Richafes are three projects and should be migrate in this order:

• jsf-tests
• richfaces-cdk
• richfaces

[MilovdZee]

Thanks. Problematic thing to get started is that mvn clean compile on the richfaces project fails with the docs generation. It complains about the version being at 7 and it only supports 8. I must be doing something wrong but can't think of how. I tried jdk 8, 11, 17 and 21 with no luck

[albfernandez]

I'll investigate it. It works in my computer but it fails in a clean jvm

[albfernandez]

I've manage to fix it for the package goal.

It should work with java 8 and java 11 (not java 17)

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/ mvn clean package

I would also like to offer some help.
I have had a good experience using OpenRewrite recipes to upgrade projects.

There already is an open rewrite recipe you can try...

mvn -U org.openrewrite.maven:rewrite-maven-plugin:run
    -Drewrite.recipeArtifactCoordinates=org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-migrate-java:RELEASE
    -Drewrite.activeRecipes=org.openrewrite.java.migrate.jakarta.JakartaEE10

That should do MOST of the heavy lifting converting faces-config.xml, javax to jakarta etc.

I would also like to offer some help. I have had a good experience using OpenRewrite recipes to upgrade projects.

The main problem migrating this project to jakarta is update all dependent libraries to modern versions (if they exists), so they can work with java 17 and 21

I've created #81 to track migration tasks
