One of the blockers on the long road to getting java 17 fully supported was the removal of the nashorn javascript engine in java 15, as the build uses some javascript for various steps. We do dogfood Lucee for some major steps, but the javascript scriptx engine is much faster for little things
Full Java 17 support is slated for a 6.x release and yes like everything else itâs a question of resources, if people want to dive in and work on the known issues, that would be welcome.
Tomcat 10 and the javax / servlet namespace changes are really problematic and these issues cascade thru all the extensions and downstream libraries we use, as such thatâs probably going to require a major release.
Our current focus is supporting 5.4 and getting the first 6.0 release finalised
