Mostly an automatic updater call (for javax->jakarta) and a few dependency bumps away in the majority of cases.

Plain vanilla java code is really backwards compatible, on both a syntax, and on a binary level.

You can often find decades old jars on some random university site, working with JDK 25 with no issue.
