Whats next? Websphere and JBoss?

It would likely frighten me to know how much JBoss and Websphere is still used.

It seems 15 years ago I was asking ?why aren't we running this in vanilla Tomcat?

I know, I know, it's like "Beetlejuice", you say "Integration Integration Integration" and five salesmen appear to sell you something that provides a bad UI in front of configuration files you'll eventually hand-edit anyway.

Plenty of it in big companies but you won't see a new release. The existing 8.5.5 and 9 will be supported through 2030 but customers are being encouraged to migrate their existing WAS apps to Liberty on OpenShift. There are several migration tools that help analyze the code and runtime for the best way to dissect legacy Java.
