Support jakarta.persistence.Entity / Spring Boot 3 ? [Refer to linked discussion]

[luoxiaopeng]

I create a gradle project with SpringBoot 3.x, I find ebean only scan javax.persistence.Entity，not scan jakarta.persistence.Entity.
When I use jakarta.persistence.Entity, DbMigration will say no changes detected, and querybean will not generate this QXXXEntity.
source code: https://github.com/luoxiaopeng/test_ebean.git

Is this right?

I find spring-data-rest 3.x not support javax, and ebean not support jakarta.
so I back to spring boot 2.x

Refer to the discussion at: #2839

not scan jakarta.persistence.Entity

Note that jakarta.persistence is not relevant as that is dependency of Ebean and not spring boot 3. Ebean will continue to use javax.persistence with spring boot 3 and that will not be an issue.

However, JAXB is a real issue as discussed at #2839

@luoxiaopeng - If you could add a comment to that discussion on what you plans are with Spring Boot 3 in terms of timeframe etc plus whether you have looked at the JAXB dependencies in the applications you are looking to migrate to Spring Boot 3.

Feedback there would be useful in terms of when we look to deal with the JAXB issue.

Thanks, Rob.

I'll close this for now.

• Also refer to Impact of Jakarta.* - Spring Boot 3, Nov 2022 #2835

I'll re-open this, with the view that people might see it and head off to the discussion and add comments there.

From 13.14.0 we will release a jakarta version as per the discussion details.

Today anyone can use the 13.14.0-jakarta version of ebean, and we will continue to release both a javax and jakarta version of ebean going forward for every release (as per the details in the dicussion).

Closing as fixed in 13.14.0 / 13.14.0-jakarta.
