Eclipse is well known for being an open source community that embraces
commercial adoption. Maintenance is a major part of the life cycle of a
software project. Many companies are big advocates for providing long term
maintenance for Eclipse technologies to help adopters to stay on top of
regular software updates to avoid problems upfront, as well as to react to
problems that impede users.
However, the Jetty releases 8.1.x included in a few still very active
Eclipse releases have reached Jetty End of Life. Users of the few earlier
releases of Eclipse are still exposed to the recent CVEs because there are
no fixes provided for the Jetty 8.1.x branches. Are there any plans to
provide updates for Jetty 8.1.x branches to patch the vulnerabilities for
Jetty 8.1.x users?
