Description

Jetty 9.4 reached end of community support in May 2022.

Jetty 10 and 11 are currently supported, with Jetty 10 supporting traditional javax.servlet interfaces and Jetty 11 supporting newer jakarta.servlet interfaces.

Jetty 10 requires Java 11 as the minimum version, and should be the target version to minimize initial impact on project components.

Current project structure enforces a common Jetty version at the root level through dependency management, and standard NAR bundles depend on Jetty for a shared runtime version. This approach may need to be modified for components with transitive dependencies.

The Jetty 10 Programming Guide highlights several important changes from 9.4 to 10, including renamed WebSocket libraries.
