Adds a new skill file for migrating Java projects from the
javax.*namespace to thejakarta.*namespace, required when upgrading to Tomcat 11 / Jakarta EE 10+. The skill provides a step-by-step procedure covering: scanning forjavax.*usages that require migration, identifying JDK-owned packages that must remain asjavax.*, updatingpom.xmldependency coordinates, updatingweb.xmlnamespace declarations, replacing imports in Java source files, and verifying the result with Maven commands.Type of Contribution
Additional Notes
The skill is located at
.github/skills/javax-to-jakarta-migration/SKILL.md. It is auto-loaded by GitHub Copilot whenjavax.*imports are detected or when the user asks about migrating to Jakarta EE 10 / Tomcat 11. The skill distinguishes between Jakarta EE packages that must be migrated (e.g.javax.servlet.*,javax.persistence.*) and JDK-owned packages that must stay asjavax.*(e.g.javax.sql.*,javax.crypto.*,javax.naming.*), preventing accidental incorrect migrations.By submitting this pull request, I confirm that my contribution abides by the Code of Conduct and will be licensed under the MIT License.
