At Engage, HCL officially announced Java 17 in Domino 14 (I'm sure they announced other things too, but I have my priorities). This will allow me to do a lot in pretty much all of my projects, but it's particularly pertinent to XPages JEE.
Currently, the project targets generally Jakarta EE 9 , which came out in late 2020 and was "just" a switch from javax.* to jakarta.* , with no official new features.
