Hi @kmacleod,
Thanks for the clarifications. To provide more detail:
- atl-plugins-webresource-common is an interesting case - it’s not intended for direct use from plugins, can you tell me what you’re using it for? We may have to reinstate this one in 8.7.1 also.
We’re using com.atlassian.plugin.servlet.ServletContextFactory.
- atlassian-util-concurrent - there are two variants of this, com.atlassian and io.atlassian. Neither are part of the platform, and the com.atlassian variant was removed from transitive dependencies, whereas the io.atlassian one remains.
Are these two libraries interchangeable, meaning we can just switch to .io? (Why do the two variants exist?) Or since even the .io version is not “part of the platform” either, does that mean that using it is risky too?
Beyond those, I still have other open questions regarding 9.0 exclusions, such as Crowd packages being removed with no obvious replacement, as well as the deprecation without replacement of certain VelocityUtils methods.
Finally, is there any rough timeline for a 9.0 EAP? Is it worth providing feedback on the 9.0 milestone releases that have recently started appearing, or is it still too early?
