I asked the people from WildFly and Apache and they just told me that Jankins uses an older version of JavaEE/Jakarta, they say Jenkins uses version 8 while their server uses version 10, version 8 might be good for JDK 11, but for compatibility with JDK 17 it must use Jakarta version 10, would this be possible? or this is another one of the "That's how Java works" things that pisses off everybody? including me and that's why I avoid Java at all cost.

Thanks.

Our first focus for Java 17 support is to run in the Jetty container that is included with Jenkins.  I'm not aware of any Jenkins core maintainers that are actively testing with WildFly 27 Beta1 or with Tomcat 10.1.

JENKINS-68698 tracks the Jakarta EE 9 migration.  Once Jakarta EE 9 migration is complete, we'll consider Jakarta EE 10.

JENKINS-67908 is the first of a series of epics that track Java 17 support.

The Servlet Container Support Policy page is the official reference for Jenkins support of servlet containers like Tomcat and Wildfly. Tomcat 10 or later and Wildfly 27 or later are unsupported and known to not work.

The Winstone container that is bundled in the Jenkins WAR file is the preferred web container because it is the most frequently tested and most actively maintained.

Jenkins supports Jakarta EE 9 as of Jenkins 2.479.1.
