Bug description

jgit is still using an End of Community Support version of Jetty.

See:

• EoCS (End of Community Support) for Jetty 10 / Jetty 11 - January 2024 jetty/jetty.project#10485

Actual behavior

Not possible to use the only supported version of Jetty at the moment.

Expected behavior

Upgrade to Jetty 12.

Note: if you want to stick with the javax.servlet namespace, then use the ee8 environment on Jetty 12.

Relevant log output

I was wondering if anybody had thoughts on this.

I agree we should update to a supported jetty version.
I started looking into your change but stalled since I am currently swamped with other stuff at $DAYJOB

When we are at this we should consider to also update

• Java to at least 17 (Update minimum Java version to 17 #52, this is a prerequisite of Jetty 12)
• move from javax.servlet to jakarta.servlet (issue JGit Compatability with Jakarta EE10 #19)

I asked for feedback from the community on the jgit list here
https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jgit-dev/msg04235.html

Note, you can use javax.servlet on Jetty 12 via the ee8 environment.
